(Specification)Standard Specification for Line-Blind Valves for Marine Applications
Standard Specification for Line-Blind Valves for Marine Applications
ABSTRACT
This specification provides the minimum requirements for design fabrication, pressure rating, and testing for line-blind valves. The materials for spectacle plates, bolting and body shall be determined. Each valve body shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the minimum requirements for design fabrication, pressure rating, and testing for line-blind valves.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 5, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
