Industrial valves - Requirements and testing for metallic valves as pressure accessories
This European standard applies to metallic valves as pressure accessories for industrial applications with a maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC and specifies minimum requirements applicable to design, manufacture, testing, materials and documentation.
All essential safety requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC have been taken into consideration and those applicable to valves are addressed in this European standard.
This European standard is not applicable to
safety valve and bursting disc (a safety accessory),
sight glass with its frames (component of a pressure equipment) and
measurement chambers,
but may be used for the pressure bearing parts of safety accessories such as bodies, bonnets and covers.
NOTE 1 Safety accessories means devices designed to protect pressure equipment against the allowable limits being exceeded. Requirements for safety devices for protection against excessive pressure, such as safety valves, bursting disc safety devices, safety valves and bursting disc safety devices in combination, controlled safety pressure-relief systems (CSPRS) are defined in relevant standards for safety accessories e.g. EN ISO 4126, EN 14129.
NOTE 2 The word “valve”, be in singular or in plural, hereinafter is synonymous with all items falling within the scope of this European standard as described above.

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Metallarmaturen als drucktragende Ausrüstungsteile für Anwendungen in der Industrie mit einem maximal zulässigen Druck (PS) größer als 0,5 bar entsprechend der Druckgeräte-Richtlinie (DGRL) 97/23/EG und legt die Mindestanforderungen fest, die für die Gestaltung (Auslegung), Herstellung, Prüfung, Werkstoffe und Dokumentation gelten.
Sämtliche grundlegenden Sicherheitsanforderungen der Druckgeräte-Richtlinie (DGRL) 97/23/EG wurden berücksichtigt und diejenigen, die für die Armaturen gelten, werden in dieser Europäischen Norm behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
- Sicherheitsventile und Berstscheiben (ein Ausrüstungsteil mit Sicherheitsfunktion);
- Schaugläser und deren Fassungen (Bauteil eines Druckgerätes) und
- Messkammern.
Diese Europäische Norm kann jedoch für die drucktragenden Teile von Ausrüstungsteilen mit Sicherheits-funktion, wie z. B. Gehäuse, deckel und Abdeckungen angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Ausrüstungsteile mit Sicherheitsfunktion sind zum Schutz des Druckgerätes gegen das Überschreiten der zulässigen Grenzen gestaltet. Die Anforderungen an die Sicherheitseinrichtungen zum Schutz gegen unzulässigen Druck, wie z. B. Sicherheitsventile, Berstscheibeneinrichtungen, Sicherheitsventile und Berstscheibeneinrichtungen in Kombination, Sicherheitssysteme mit gesteuerten Druckentlastungsventilen (CSPRS, en: Controlled safety pressure relief systems, dt: gesteuerte Sicherheitsventile), sind in den zutreffenden Normen für Sicherheitseinrichtungen, z.

vendar se lahko uporablja za tlačno obremenjene dele varnostnih pripomočkov, kot so ohišje in različni pokrovi.
OPOMBA 1: Varnostni pripomočki se nanašajo na naprave, ki so zasnovane za zaščito pred presežkom dovoljene mejne vrednosti tlačne opreme. Zahteve za varnostne naprave za zaščito pred čezmernim tlakom, kot so varnostni ventili, varnostne naprave z razpočnimi membranami, kombinacija varnostnih ventilov in varnostnih naprav z razpočnimi membranami ter sistemi za nadzorovano razbremenitev tlaka (CSPRS), so opredeljene v ustreznih standardih za varnostne pripomočke, kot sta npr. standarda EN ISO 4126 in EN 14129.

EN 16668:2016 (E) 12 5.3 Manufacturing 5.3.1 Welding 5.3.1.1 General requirements Welding of the shell itself or on components of shell shall only be undertaken if the following conditions are satisfied: a) a welding procedure specification is held by the manufacturer; b) the welding procedures selected by the manufacturer are qualified for the field of application; c) the welders and welding operators are qualified for the work allocated to them and their approval is valid. Welding of high-alloy martensitic chromium steels (>13 % Cr) requires particular qualification, except casting production welds at the foundry. NOTE The provision of the fabrication drawings with welding data (weld details, welding procedure and welding fillers) including information on type and extent of non-destructive testing of welding seams, parts lists and copies of the welding procedure qualifications may be subject to agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. 5.3.1.2 Welding procedure specification (WPS) The manufacturer shall compile welding procedure specifications, in accordance with EN ISO 15609-1:2004 for all welds. 5.3.1.3 Qualification of welding procedure specifications (WPQR) Welding procedure specifications to be used shall be qualified by reference to an appropriate WPQR. For the pressure retaining welds of a shell this shall be achieved by performing welding procedure qualification tests in accordance with EN ISO 15614-1:2004, EN ISO 15614-2:2005, EN ISO 15614-5:2004, EN ISO 15614-6:2006 or by preproduction tests in accordance with EN ISO 15613:2004. For additional requirements to be considered in course of the qualification of welding procedure qualification see EN 13445-4:2014. It is regarded as the obligation of the valve manufacturer to meet the supplementary requirements as applicable. 5.3.1.4 Approval of welders and welding operators Welders and welding operators shall be qualified according to the applicable part of the EN ISO 9606- series, whereas qualification testing of welders for the fusion welding of steels shall be qualified according to EN 287-1:2011 until EN ISO 9606-1:2013 is published in the Official Journal (OJEU). Qualification of welding operators shall be in accordance with EN ISO 14732:2013. In the course of the qualification welding of personnel, the additional requirements of EN 13445-4:2014 apply. It is regarded as the obligation of the valve manufacturer to meet the supplementary requirements as applicable. 5.3.1.5 Finishing welding on castings Finishing welding is only permissible on steel castings. When carrying out finishing welding on steel castings, the defective area shall be completely rectified; it shall be tested for freedom from inadmissible imperfections. SIST EN 16668:2016
EN 16668:2016 (E) 13 Finishing welding shall be performed in accordance with a written procedure specifying the requirements for defect removal, welding, heat treatment and non-destructive testing. Undocumented finishing welding prior to PWHT is permissible provided the defect depth does not exceed 40 % of the wall thickness. Undocumented finishing welding after PWHT is permissible, provided that the defect depth does not exceed 20 % of the wall thickness or 25 mm, whichever is the smallest value. Depressions resulting from the removal of imperfections shall be 100 % surface tested in order to ensure the complete removal of the defect. For the surface testing, magnetic particle testing (MT) or penetrant testing (PT) shall be applied as appropriate. 5.3.1.6 Repair of joint weld defects For requirements for repair of joint weld defects see EN 13445-4:2014, 11.2. Repair work on the welds and NDE results to be documented and made available to the purchaser on request. All unacceptable imperfections shall be removed, either by mechanical means (such as grinding or machining) or by thermal means (such as arc air gouging or thermal gouging) or by a combination of thermal and mechanical means.
