Building valves - Pressure safety valves - Tests and requirements

This document specifies dimensions, materials and performance requirements, including methods of test, for pressure safety valves, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 40, having working pressures from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Pressure safety valves are intended for fitting to the potable water supply of storage water heaters, having a maximum storage temperature of 95 °C. Pressure safety valves limit the pressure in hot water heaters. Pressure safety valves do not control the temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters. They are not intended to act as expansion valves under normal conditions. 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 A).

Plastics - Determination of tensile properties - Part 6: Measurement of strain distribution for randomly oriented chopped strand- or fibre- reinforced plastic composites (ISO/DIS 527-6:2026)

This document outlines methods for measuring the strain distribution for randomly oriented chopped strand- or fibre-reinforced plastic composites, based upon the general principles given in ISO 527-4. The methods are used to statistically evaluate the inherent variation of strain-based properties. The main purpose of this document compared to existing standards is to evaluate the strain distribution due to the random orientation of chopped fibres, while ISO 527-4 is sufficient for evaluating only the bulk elastic modulus. This standard provides two methods for evaluating an inherent strain distribution of the material, Method A as using DIC analysis system and Method B as using several strain gauges with a short gauge length. The methods are suitable for use with fibre-reinforced thermosetting and thermoplastic composites incorporating discontinuous or chopped reinforcements such as mats, chopped strands or tapes, long-fibre injection or combination of such reinforcements. The methods are not normally suitable for continuous fibre-reinforced materials which generate homogeneous strain distribution on the surface of the test specimen.

Health informatics - Electronic health record communication - Part 5: Interface specification (ISO/DIS 13606-5:2026)

This document specifies the information architecture required for interoperable communications between systems and services that need or provide EHR data. This document is not intended to specify the internal architecture or database design of such systems. The subject of the record or record extract to be communicated is an individual person, and the scope of the communication is predominantly with respect to that person's care. Uses of healthcare records for other purposes such as administration, management, research and epidemiology, which require aggregations of individual people's records, are not the focus of this document but such secondary uses could also find the document useful. This document defines a set of interfaces to request and provide: — an EHR_EXTRACT for a given subject of care as defined in ISO 13606-1; — one or more ARCHETYPE(s) as defined in ISO 13606-2; — an EHR_AUDIT_LOG_EXTRACT for a given subject of care as defined in ISO 13606-4. This document defines the set of interactions to request each of these artefacts, and to provide the data to the requesting party or to decline the request. An interface to query an EHR or populations of EHRs, for example for clinical audit or research, are beyond its scope, although provision is made for certain selection criteria to be specified when requesting an EHR_EXTRACT which might also serve for population queries. This document defines the Computational Viewpoint for each interface, without specifying or restricting particular engineering approaches to implementing these as messages or as service interfaces. This document effectively defines the payload to be communicated at each interface. It does not specify the particular information that different transport protocols will additionally require, nor the security or authentication procedures that might be agreed between the communicating parties or required by different jurisdictions.

Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 1-6: Strength and stability of shell structures

1.1 Scope (1) EN 199316 provides rules for the structural design of plated steel structures that have the form of a shell of revolution (axisymmetric shell). (2) This document is applicable to unstiffened fabricated axisymmetric shells formed from isotropic rolled plates using both algebraic and computational procedures, and to stiffened axisymmetric shells with different wall constructions using computational procedures. It also applies to associated circular or annular plates and to beam section rings and stringer stiffeners where they form part of the complete shell structure. The general computational procedures are applicable to all shell forms. (3) This document does not apply to manufactured shells or to shell panels or to elliptical shell forms, except that its computational procedures are applicable to all shell structures. This document does not apply to structures under seismic or other dynamic loading. It does not cover the aspects of leakage of stored liquids or solids. (4) Cylindrical and conical panels are not explicitly covered by this document. However, the provisions of 9.8 can be used provided that appropriate boundary conditions are taken into account. (5) This document defines the characteristic and design values of the resistance of the structure. (6) This document is concerned with the requirements for design against the ultimate limit states of: — plastic failure; — cyclic plasticity; — buckling; — fatigue. (7) Overall equilibrium of the structure (sliding, uplifting, overturning) is not included in this document. Special considerations for specific applications are included in the relevant application parts of EN 1993. (8) Detailed formulae for the simple calculation of unstiffened cylinders, cones and spherical domes are given in the Annexes. (9) Provisions for simple calculations on specific stiffened shell types are given in EN 199341. (10) This document is intended for application to steel shell structures. Where no standard exists for shell structures made of other metals, including high strength steels, the provisions of this document are applicable provided the appropriate material properties of the metal are taken into account. (11) The provisions of this document are intended to be applied within the temperature ranges defined in the relevant EN 1993 application parts. (12) Where no application part defines a different range, this document applies to structures within the following limits: — design metal temperatures lie within the range −50 °C to +100 °C, except when using the special provisions given in 5.1; — radius to thickness ratios (r/t) within the range 50 to 2 000; — manufactured circular hollow sections according to EN 10210 and EN 10219 are outside the scope of this document and are covered by EN 199311. However, if no other provisions are available, the rules of this document are useful for manufactured circular hollow sections. In particular, this document is applicable to the design of manufactured piles (see EN 19935) provided the imperfections and tolerance requirements of EN 19935 are adopted in place of those specified in this document, and where no other standard covers the specific pile geometry. NOTE 1 Experimental and theoretical data relating to manufactured circular hollow sections were not considered when this document was drafted. The application of this document to such structures therefore remains the responsibility of the user. NOTE 2 The stress design rules of this document can be rather conservative if applied to some geometries and loading conditions for relatively thickwalled shells. NOTE 3 Thinner shells than r/t = 2 000 can be treated using these provisions but the provisions have not been verified for such thin shells. NOTE 4 The maximum temperature is restricted so that the influence of creep can be ignored where high temperature creep effects are not covered by the relevant application part. [...]
