Techniques d'irrigation - Accessoires de raccord et de commande pour usage dans les systemes d'irrigation - Caractéristiques techniques et essais

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer la résistance a l'usure due au roulement d'une roue lourdement chargée, sur des éprouvettes de mortier moulées, confectionnées avec des matériaux pour chapes a base ciment ou de résine synthétique utilisés en couche d'usure. Cette méthode peut s'appliquer, le cas échéant, a d'autres matériaux de chape utilisés en couche d'usure.

EN 13997:2003 (E)64.2.2 Steel partsParts made of steel plate have to be hot dip zinc galvanized according to EN 10240.Parts made of moulded steel have to be galvanized or covered with an anticorrosion colour.4.2.3 Parts made of brassParts made of brass are resistant against irrigation water without abrasive and or chemical components. The usewith solutions of fertilizer and or agents for plant protection shall be granted by the manufacturer.4.2.4 Parts made of Aluminium alloyParts made of Aluminium alloy shall meet the requirements for tubes given in ISO 209-1, ISO 209-2, ISO 3522 andISO 11678.4.2.5 Parts made of Polypropylene (PP) or Polyvinylchloride (PVC)No specific requirements (parts made of such material are resistant against the chemical influence of soil andwater).4.3 Dimensions4.3.1 GeneralIf fitted with quick couplings it is to distinguish between the nominal length (lN) and the overall length (lO) ofaccessories. The dimensions of elbows are to be determined along and at the end of the centre line.4.3.2 Length4.3.2.1 Nominal lengthThe nominal length of a part is declared by the manufacturer and is measured after connection of two identicalparts as the distance between two similar points on both parts. (The measurement should be carried out undernominal pressure at (20 ± 5)°C. Deviation of 0 % to 0,4 % is allowable. See Figure 3).4.3.2.2 Overall lengthThe overall length of a part fitted with fittings or quick couplings is the total length of a part including coupling parts.See Figure 3.SIST EN 13997:2004

The diameter of coupling parts is to determinedseparately.It is to distinguish between inner diameter (dI), outside diameter (do) or nominal diameter (dN).4.4 Smoothness of surfaceThe inner side of the wall of connection and control accessories shall be smooth; welding residue and flashes areallowed to protrude not more than 2 mm. The protective coating on steel pipes shall have an adhesion strongenough to prevent peeling due to hits caused during transportation or general use. The adhesion of the coatingshould also avoid hairline cracks caused by the test pressure.4.5 CouplingThree kinds of couplings are usually used:¾ Spherical coupling with O – ring seal.
Closed mechanically;¾ Coupling with lip type seal.Closed mechanically;¾ Coupling with lip type seal.Closed by water pressure. For special application lip type couplings may be required to be loose at pressures below 50 kPa by agreement.SIST EN 13997:2004



EN 13997:2003 (E)8The maximum bending angle of adjacent elements in degrees shall be declared by the manufacturer in hisdocumentation. The coupling must be water-tight if filled with water under nominal pressure. If quick couplingpipelines are used as suction line the couplings must be water and air-tight. The couplings must withstand openingand closing for 2000 times.4.6 Replacement of parts with spherical couplings in a plantThe replacement of one part in the middle of a pipeline with 100 m length shall be possible without moving thewhole pipeline in longitudinal direction.4.7 Allowable operating pressure (nominal pressure)The nominal pressure of parts is declared by the manufacturer. The operating pressure in accessories shall notexceed the nominal pressure of those parts. The selection of accessories shall be made taking into accountpossible pressure shocks (water hammer).4.8 Pressure lossThe manufacturer shall declare the head loss at nominal pressure or at nominal flow rate. If the head loss is to bedetermined without a standardized test method existing the used test method must be described very carefully toenable further measurement under comparable conditions.5 MarkingConnection and control accessori
