Building valves - Combined temperature and pressure relief valves - Tests and requirements

This document specifies dimensions, materials and performance requirements, including test methods, for combined temperature and pressure relief valves, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 40, having working pressures ) from 0,3 MPa (3 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Combined temperature and pressure relief valves control and limit the temperature and pressure of the water contained in a hot water heater to the valves rating pressure and a temperature not exceeding 100 °C and will prevent water to steam formation when other temperature controls fail. Combined temperature and pressure relief valves are classified having a maximum opening temperature range from 90 °C to 95 °C for class A and 75 °C to 80 °C for class B. They are not intended to act as an expansion valve and do not control cold water flow. Alone it does not constitute the control functions for a water heater. A combined temperature and pressure relief valve is an independently mechanically operating device, therefore operating without an external energy source. NOTE The use of the device specified in this document does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters (for more information, see Annex B).

Water quality - Gross beta activity - Test method using thick source (ISO/DIS 9697:2025)

This document specifies a test method for the determination of gross beta activity concentration in nonsaline waters. The method covers non-volatile radionuclides with maximum beta energies of approximately 0,3 MeV or higher. Measurement of low-energy beta emitters (e.g. 3H, 228Ra, 210Pb, 14C, 35S and 241Pu) and some gaseous or volatile radionuclides (e.g. radon and radioiodine) are not be included in the gross beta quantification using the test method described in this document. This test method is applicable to the analysis of raw and drinking waters with low amounts of total soluble salts in the water. Limit of detection depends on the performance characteristics (background count rate and counting efficiency) of the counter used. It is the laboratory’s responsibility to ensure the suitability of this method for the water samples tested. As this method requires sample preparation in laboratory facilities, it is not suited for rapid, in-the-field analysis.

Metallic materials - Charpy pendulum impact test - Part 2: Verification of testing machines (ISO/DIS 148-2:2025)

ISO 148-2:2016 covers the verification of pendulum-type impact testing machines, in terms of their constructional elements, their overall performance and the accuracy of the results they produce. It is applicable to machines with 2 mm or 8 mm strikers used for pendulum impact tests carried out, for instance, in accordance with ISO 148‑1. It can be applied to pendulum impact testing machines of various capacities and of different design. Impact machines used for industrial, general or research laboratory testing of metallic materials in accordance with this part of ISO 148 are referred to as industrial machines. Those with more stringent requirements are referred to as reference machines. Specifications for the verification of reference machines are found in ISO 148‑3. ISO 148-2:2016 describes two methods of verification. a) The direct method, which is static in nature, involves measurement of the critical parts of the machine to ensure that it meets the requirements of this part of ISO 148. Instruments used for the verification and calibration are traceable to national or international standards. b) The indirect method, which is dynamic in nature, uses reference test pieces to verify points on the measuring scale for absorbed energy. The requirements for the reference test pieces are found in ISO 148‑3. A pendulum impact testing machine is not in compliance with this part of ISO 148 until it has been verified by both the direct and indirect methods and meets the requirements of Clause 6 and Clause 7. ISO 148-2:2016 describes how to assess the different components of the total energy absorbed in fracturing a test piece. This total absorbed energy consists of - the energy needed to fracture the test piece itself, and - the internal energy losses of the pendulum impact testing machine performing the first half-cycle swing from the initial position. NOTE Internal energy losses are due to the following: - air resistance, friction of the bearings of the rotation axis and of the indicating pointer of the pendulum which can be determined by the direct method (see 6.4.5); - shock of the foundation, vibration of the frame and pendulum for which no suitable measuring methods and apparatus have been developed.
