3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1717:2000 and the following apply.
3.1
non controllable backflow preventer with different pressure zones — Family C — Type A
the specific characteristics of this device called “CA”, are as follows:
The device is divided into three zones:
 one upstream zone p ;
 one intermediate zone (p not measurable) vented to the atmosphere;
i
 one downstream zone p .
The device provides disconnection by venting the intermediate pressure zone to the atmosphere when the
difference of pressure between the intermediate zone and the upstream zone is less than 10 % of the up-
stream pressure (p – p < 10 % p ).
1 1
i
It ensures a discharge (backflow rate) through the intermediate zone, at least equal to the given discharge
flow rate.
Means for the control of the protection device are not included.

1 upstream zone p
2 intermediate zone p
i
3 downstream zone p
