Abstract

This document specifies the characteristics of valves made from unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) in accordance with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486-1, intended to be buried and used for the supply of gaseous fuels.

It is applicable to isolating unidirectional and bi-directional valves with spigot ends or electrofusion sockets intended to be fused with PA-U pipes or fittings conforming to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486-2 and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486-3 respectively.

Valves made from material other than unplasticized polyamide designed for the supply of gaseous fuels conforming to the relevant standards are permitted to be used in PA-U piping systems according to the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486Ìýseries provided they have relevant PA-U connections for butt fusion or electrofusion ends (see Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486-3). The component, i.e. the complete valve, is required to fulfil the requirements of this document.

This document also specifies the test parameters for the test methods it describes.

In conjunction with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-1, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-2, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-3 and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486-5, this document is applicable to PA-U valves and their joints and to joints with components of PA-U and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:

a) a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of up to and including 18Ìýbar[1], or limited to 16Ìýbar under regional CEN requirements, at a reference temperature of 20Ìý°C for design purposes;

NOTEÌý1ÌýÌýÌý For the purpose of this document and the references to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý8233, MOP is considered to be nominal pressure.

b) an operating temperature of −20Ìý°C to 40Ìý°C;

NOTEÌý2ÌýÌýÌý For operating temperatures between 20Ìý°C and 40Ìý°C, derating coefficients are specified in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý16486-5.

This document covers valves for pipes with a nominal outside diameter, dn, ≤ 400Ìýmm.

Ìý

[1] 1Ìýbar = 0,1ÌýMPa = 105 Pa; 1ÌýMPa = 1ÌýN/mm².
