European foreword
This document (prEN 16767:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 69 “Industrial
valves”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16767:2016.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
The main changes are the following:
— inclusion of copper alloy check valves (in Clause 1, in a new 4.2.2.3 and in 4.2.3);
— inclusion of a reference to EN 1092-2 in 4.2.2.2;
— addition of informative Annex B giving the correspondence between DN and NPS;
— update of Annex ZA according to Directive 2014/68/EU.

1 Scope
This document specifies the general requirements for metallic check valves, which are forged, cast or
fabricated in straight, angle or oblique pattern (see EN 736-2) with end connections flanged or wafer,
butt welding, socket welding, or threaded.
This document applies to metallic check valves used for all industrial applications.
Additional requirements given in the relevant application standards may apply to check valves used for
more specific applications (e.g. for the water industry, the chemical and petrochemical process industry,
the gas distribution industry).
Sanitary check valves and back flow prevention anti-pollution check valves are excluded from the scope
of this document.
The range of nominal sizes covered is:
— DN 8, DN 10; DN 12, DN 15; DN 20; DN 25; DN 32; DN 40; DN 50; DN 65; DN 80; DN 100; DN 125;
DN 150; DN 200; DN 250; DN 300; DN 350; DN 400; DN 450; DN 500; DN 600; DN 700; DN 750;
DN 800; DN 900; DN 1 000; DN 1 200.
DN 8 and DN 12 are not used for PN designated flanged end connections.
DN 8, DN 10 and DN 12 are not used for Class designated flanged end connections.
DN 750 is used for Class designated check valves only.
Socket welding end check valves and threaded end check valves are limited to the range DN 8 to DN 65.
The range of pressure designations covered is:
a) for flanged end and wafer type end cast iron bodies:
— PN 2,5; PN 6; PN 10; PN 16; PN 25;
— Class 125; Class 250;
b) for flanged end, wafer type and butt welding end bodies in steel or copper alloy materials:
— PN 2,5; PN 6; PN 10; PN 16; PN 25; PN 40; PN 63; PN 100; PN 160; PN 250; PN 320; PN 400;
— Class 150; Class 300; Class 600; Class 900 ; Class 1 500; Class 2 500;
c) for socket welding end and threaded end bodies in steel or copper alloy materials:
— PN 40; PN 63; PN 100;
— Class 600; Class 800.
NOTE Class 800 is a widely used Class designation for socket welding and threaded end check valves.
The correspondence between DN and NPS is given for information in Annex B.
