Full Description

This standard covers inspection, examination, supplementary examinations, and pressure test requirements for resilient-seated, nonmetallic-seated (e.g. ceramic), and metal-to-metal-seated valves of the gate, globe, plug, ball, check, and butterfly types. Resilient seats are considered to be:

a) soft seats, both solid and semisolid grease type (e.g. lubricated plug);
b) combination soft and metal seats (e.g. laminated seat rings);
c) any other type of seat material designed to meet resilient seat leakage rates as specified in Table 5.

The following tests and examinations are specified in this standard:

a) shell test,
b) backseat test,
c) low-pressure closure test,
d) high-pressure closure test,
e) double block and bleed high-pressure closure test,
