Introduction

This document covers the requirements and method for evaluating the performance of valves when they

are exposed to defined fire conditions. The performance requirements establish limits of acceptability

of a valve, regardless of size, material or pressure rating. The burn period has been established to

represent the maximum time required to extinguish most fires. Fires of longer duration are considered

to be of major magnitude, with consequences greater than those anticipated in the test.

The test pressure during the burn is set at 0,2 MPa (2 bar) for soft-seated valves rated PN 10, PN 16,

PN 25 and PN 40, Class 150 and Class 300, to better simulate the conditions that would be expected in

a process plant when a fire is detected, and pumps are shut down. In this case, the source of pressure

in the system is the hydrostatic head resulting from liquid levels in towers and vessels. This situation is

approximated by this lower test pressure.

In production facilities, valves are typically of a higher rating and the pressure source is not easily

reduced when a fire is detected. Therefore, for all other valves, the test pressure during the burn is set

at a higher value to better simulate the expected service conditions in these facilities.

Use of this document assumes that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified

and experienced personnel, because it calls for procedures that can be injurious to health, if adequate

precautions are not taken. This document refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the

user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of the procedure.

This document highlights the importance of accurate monitoring and recording of test data during

fire testing. The monitoring and measuring of cavity pressure has been emphasised for all double

seated valves. Empirical evidence has shown that the cavity pressure during a fire test can increase

significantly unless relieved internally (by design) or externally. Without meeting the minimum

requirements of the test report, valves cannot be certified as a fire safe design to this document.

It is recognised by this document that not all combinations of potential trim arrangements can be

covered by a single fire test report. Certain design or material differences can be accepted by the

purchaser if they do not influence sealing or operating performance. Further clarification on soft

materials grouping and bolting has been included in this document.

Valves with more than one obturator are regularly used for in-line isolation and instrumentation

service. As such, the need to qualify such designs as fire safe certified is now a common requirement.

This document now caters for such valve designs.

Testing of valves — Fire type-testing requirements
1 Scope

This document specifies fire type-testing requirements and a fire type-test method for valves with

one or more obturators. It is not applicable to the testing requirements for valve actuators other

than manually operated gearboxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve

assembly. Other types of valve actuators (e.g. electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic) can need special

protection to operate in the environment considered in this valve test, and the fire testing of such

actuators is outside the scope of this document.
This document specifies the measurement and assessment criteria for:
a) through-seat leakage;
b) external leakage;
c) cavity overpressure relief of double seated valves;
d) operability.

This document specifies the rules whereby the fire-type testing qualification for a valve can be extended

to untested sizes, pressure ratings, and materials of construction of the same basic design type.

Fire test reports of valves tested according to previous editions of ISO 10497 are acceptable when

submitted together with the full and compliant fire test report as per 6.7 of the edition under which it

was tested. Additional testing is specified for double seated valves where the body cavity relief valve

setting was not recorded in the original fire test report.

NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms “fire type-test” and “fire test” are synonymous.

4 Test conditions
4.1 Direction and conditions for valves to be tested

4.1.1 Symmetric seated valves intended by the manufacturer for bi-directional installation shall be

tested in one direction only.

4.1.2 Asymmetric seated valves intended by the manufacturer for bi-directional installation shall be

tested by carrying out the burn test procedure twice, once in each direction of the potential installation.

The same valve may be refurbished and re-tested, or another, identical, valve may be tested in the other

direction.

4.1.3 Valves intended solely for unidirectional installation shall be clearly and permanently marked as

such, and shall be tested in the stated direction of installation.

4.1.4 If the valve being tested is fitted with a gearbox or other such manual device, only that particular

assembly shall qualify. If a valve can be supplied with or without a gearbox, testing with a gearbox fitted

shall qualify valves without a gearbox, but not the converse.

4.1.5 Valves (and gearboxes) shall not be protected with insulation material of any form during testing,

except where such protection is part of the design of the component(s).

4.1.6 For valves with more than one obturator, if all seals and obturators are of the same design,

through-seat leak testing of the upstream obturator in a single direction shall qualify all obturators in

both directions. Asymmetric valves shall be tested on the upstream block in both directions.

For valves with more than one obturator, a qualified assembly is one where all obturators have been

qualified in single valves that use the same obturator and seat/ seal design.

If required by the purchaser, tests of a complete manifold assembly shall be subject to agreement

between purchaser and manufacturer. The test procedure used shall be agreed by all parties.

The complete assembly, including any auxiliary connections, vents, drains shall be subjected to the

fire. The upstream obturator shall be in the closed position and the downstream obturator shall be in

the partially open position throughout the test. Testing for external leakage shall be on the complete

assembly.

If the valve comprises of an external vent valve, this shall be in the closed position. All other auxiliary

connections shall be blinded sufficiently.
4.2 Pressure relief provision

4.2.1 If the valve under test incorporates a means of relieving cavity pressure as part of its standard

design and if this provision activates during the fire test, the test shall be continued and any leakage to

atmosphere from the provision shall be measured and counted as external leakage. If the design is such

that the provision vents to the downstream side of the valve, any leakage shall be counted as through-

seat leakage (see 5.6.11 and 5.6.13).

4.2.2 The test shall be stopped and considered void if the cavity pressure is exceeded which activates

the relief valve described in 5.3.2.8.

4.2.3 Double seated valves tested in compliance with a previous edition of this document where the

body cavity relief valve setting and/or cavity pressure during testing was not recorded in the original

test report shall be subjected to a supplementary test before claiming compliance with this edition.

An overpressure cavity relief test at ambient conditions shall be undertaken to demonstrate the relief

performance mechanism of the valve with the test report appended to the original fire test report. Test

pressure shall be as specified in 5.3.2.8.
5 Fire test method
5.1 General warning

Fire testing of valves is potentially hazardous and it is essential that the safety of personnel be given

prime consideration. Given the nature of the fire test and the possibility of weaknesses in the design of

the test valve and test equipment, hazardous rupture of the pressure boundary could occur. Adequate

shields in the area of the test enclosure and other appropriate means for the protection of personnel are

necessary.

Fire testing shall be void if the product or system fails to perform within the limits specified, except

when such failure is determined to be the result of a failure within the test facility or test fixture and

that failure and its correction do not affect the validity of the test results.
5.2 Principle

A closed valve, completely filled with water under pressure, is completely enveloped in flames with

an environmental temperature in the region of the valve of 750 °C to 1 000 °C for a period of 30 min.

The objective is to completely envelop the valve in flames to assure that the seat and sealing areas

are exposed to the high burn temperature. The intensity of the heat input shall be monitored using

thermocouples and calorimeter cubes as specified in 5.6.7 and 5.6.8. During this period the internal

and external leakage is recorded. After cool-down from the fire test, the valve is hydrostatically tested

to assess the pressure containing capability of the valve shell, seats and seals.

5.3 Apparatus
5.3.1 General

The test equipment shall not subject the valve to externally applied stress affecting the results of the test.

Schematic diagrams of recommended systems for fire type-testing of valves are given in Figure 1.

Potential pipework-to-valve end connection joint leakage is not evaluated as part of the test and is not

included in the allowable external leakage (see 6.3 and 6.6). For the purposes of this test, it may be

necessary to modify these joints to eliminate leakage.

The test equipment shall be designed such that if the nominal diameter of the pipework situated

immediately upstream of the test valve is larger than DN 25 or one-half the DN of the test valve, the

pipework shall be enveloped in flames for a minimum distance of 150 mm from the test valve. The

diameter of the upstream pipework shall be sufficient to deliver a flow rate in excess of the maximum

allowable leak rate for the size of the valve being tested.

The pipework downstream of the test valve shall be at least DN 15 and shall be inclined such that the

downstream side is fully drained.

The flame source shall be at least 150 mm minimum away from the valve or any calorimeters, and

should have sufficient capacity to completely envelop the valve in flames.

The enclosure containing the valve shall provide a horizontal clearance of a minimum of 150 mm

between any part of the test valve and the enclosure, and the height of the enclosure above the top of

the test valve shall be a minimum of 150 mm.

Figure 1.

5.3.2.2 Industrial pressure measurement devices having a full-scale reading of between 1,5 and 4

times the pressure being measured. The accuracy of each test device used at any point on the scale shall

be within 3 % of its maximum scale value for readings taken both up and down the scale, with either

increasing or decreasing pressure. See Figure 1 (6, 12).

5.3.2.3 Calorimeter cubes, of carbon steel in accordance with the design and dimensions shown in

Figure 2, with a thermocouple of the accuracy specified in 5.3.2.4, located in the centre of each cube.

Calorimeter cubes shall be scale-free before exposure to the fire environment.

Figure 1 (4).

5.3.2.7 Calibrated device for measuring the leakage water collected during the test.

5.3.2.8 Pressure relief valve, incorporated in the system, to relieve test valve cavity overpressure due

to thermal expansion of test liquid to the atmosphere, to protect against potential rupture, is required for

all double seated valves. For valves with more than one obturator, the connection shall be made into the

cavity of the upstream obturator.

The set pressure of the relief valve during the fire test and therefore the maximum allowable cavity

pressure of the valve during the test shall be:

— either that determined by the valve manufacturer from data obtained by hydrostatic cavity

overpressure testing of the test valve; proof of this required value is required prior to testing and

shall be documented within the report [see 6.7 x)]; or
— when pressure te
