ISO 13693-2:2015 specifies the construction and performance requirement and test methods for metal-bodied chemigation valves with water at temperatures not exceeding 50 °C, which might contain fertilizers and chemicals of the types and concentration used in agriculture. The valve is designed to prohibit backflow caused by either back pressure or back siphonage. It is not designed for use in potable water systems. It is not to be confused with other forms of backflow prevention devices including pressure vacuum breakers, double check valves, reduced pressure zone valves, or goose neck loops. ISO 13693-2:2015 specifies the minimum design, construction, and performance testing requirements for the chemigation valve assembly. The assembly consists of the following components: ? a valve body into which a spring-loaded check valve is mounted with a resilient disk cover on the sealing surface; a combination air release/vacuum relief valve located upstream of the check valve; a low pressure drain valve located upstream of the check valve; an inspection port located so as to permit visual and manual inspection of the valve working components.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 13693-2:2015(E)
Introduction
Chemigation is the practice of injecting chemicals into irrigation water for the purpose of distributing
the chemicals onto crops. During the course of this activity, under certain hydraulic conditions, the
chemicals being injected can migrate upstream into a well or other pressurized water supply and
pollute that water source. A chemigation valve assembly has been developed to meet this need. The
chemigation valve assembly is designed to meet the specific need and performance requirements as
required to prohibit the migration of injected chemicals into irrigation wells, thereby polluting ground
water supplies.
This part of ISO 13693 applies to a mainline check valve assembly in sizes from DN 75 (3”) to DN 350
(14”), with related components, that is designed to permit full flow in the operational mode and stop
backflow (back siphonage or back pressure) when the pipeline shuts down. The potential for backflow
from back siphonage occurs as water tumbles back down the column pipe when the pump shuts down.
The potential for backflow occurs when a positive pressure exists on the downstream end of the valve.
The valve obturator is forced to the closed position by a pre-tensioned spring. A resilient cover on the
obturator helps to seal the valve against very low pressures.
This chemigation valve assembly is included in a technical report (to be written) that specifies a complete
chemigation safety system. This system features a chemical tank (fertilizers and chemicals), a chemical
pump (positive displacement or Venturi), check valves, and interlocking safety shutdown controls. The
system is designed to keep irrigation water from flooding the chemical tank and to shut the chemical
system down when the irrigation pump shuts down or the irrigation system pressure has been reduced
to a level where the injected chemical is not being uniformly distributed to the field. The functional
requirements of the chemigation valve could possibly be provided by valves of a different design. The
valve is not designed for use in potable water systems.
