Scope

This document specifies the: — field of application: — The dimensional, the physicochemical, the design, the hydraulic, the mechanical and the acoustic characteristics of non-controllable backflow preventer with different pressure zones, family C, type A, nominal sizes DN 6 to DN 25, nominal pressure PN 10. It is applicable to: — Family C, type A, class “a” for general use: devices of class “a” can be capable of working: — at any pressure up to 1 MPa (10 bar); — with any pressure variation up to 1 MPa (10 bar); — at a supply temperature limit of 65 °C and 90 °C for 1 h; — Family C, type A, class “b” for specific use: devices of class “b” shall be capable of working: — at any downstream pressure up to 0,3 MPa (3 bar); — with any downstream pressure variation up to 0,3 MPa (3 bar); at a supply temperature limit of 65 °C and 90 °C for 1 h; Class “b” devices can capable of operating: at any downstream pressure up to 300 kPa (3 bar), with any downstream pressure variation up to 300 kPa (3 bar) at a supply temperature limit of 65 °C and 90 °C for 1 h. Class “b” devices with specific hydraulic and non-acoustic requirements and are intended to equip filling devices physically integrated into a single-function (heating) or dual-function (heating and domestic hot water) boiler. It specifies also: — test methods and requirements for verifying these characteristics; — marking; — presentation and the delivery.
