6.4.7 Nominal sizes :-6.4.7.1 The range of nominal valve size (DN) in mm shall be as follows:40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700,800, 900, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 <strong>and</strong> 2000.6.4.8 Nominal Pressures :-6.4.8.1 Valves shall be designated by nominal pressure (PN) defined as the maximumpermissible working pressure (MPa) at 20 0 C temperature as follows:PN 0.25, PN 0.6, PN 1.0, PN 1.6, PN 2.5 <strong>and</strong> PN 4.06.4.8.2 The class designations for valves specified by nominal pipe sizes shall be class125, class 150 <strong>and</strong> class 300.6.4.9 Direction6.4.9.1 Unless otherwise specified manually operated valves shall be closed by turningh<strong>and</strong> wheel or lever in clockwise direction when facing the h<strong>and</strong> wheel or lever.The design of lever when fitted shall be such that the lever may only beassembled to the valve so that it is parallel to the direction of flow when thevalve is open.6.4.9.2 All gear traveling nut operations shall be provided with suitable stops to preventmovement of the shaft beyond the limit corresponding to the fully closedposition of the disc.6.4.10 Testing6.4.10.1 All valves shall be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer before dispatch.The pressure shall be obtained without any significant hydraulic shock. Testingshall be carried on before application of paint or other similar treatment unlessotherwise agreed between the purchaser <strong>and</strong> the manufacturer. There shall beno air entrapped within the part of the valves subjected to test pressure.6.4.10.2 Performance testing: Each valve shall be shop operated from fully closed tofully open position <strong>and</strong> reverse, under no pressure <strong>and</strong> no flow condition todemonstrate that the complete assembly is workable.6.4.10.3 Body Test: Completely assembled valve shall be tested as follows:6.4.10.3.1 The body ends shall be blanked so that the valve as subjected to the fullpressure in all directions induced by the test pressure. Wafer valves may betested in any suitable manner agreed between the purchaser <strong>and</strong> themanufacturer.6.4.10.3.2 The valve disc shall be in slightly open position <strong>and</strong> pressure equivalent to 1.5times the maximum permissible working pressure shall be applied with water.The duration of this test shall be as in Table. 6.5Urban Administration & Development Department Page 70
