INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS CONTROL VALVES –

Part 4: Inspection and routine testing

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60534-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Measurement and control devices, of
IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an
International Standard.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) remove details about hydrostatic test but state that to be performed according to valve
design code;
b) include mandatory test for valve packing;
c) put in evidence limits of reduced differential pressure seat leakage test procedure;
d) introduce details about low temperature seat leakage test;
e) extend dimensional range for leakage class VI to less than 25 mm and over 400 mm seat
diameter;

S = Supplementary
The shell hydrostatic test shall be performed first for safety reasons. Other tests should be done in the sequence
given above.
a
The results of tests of a valve under static conditions in a factory generally do not correspond to performance
under working conditions. This document is intended only to provide guidance for negotiations between the
manufacturer and the purchaser relative to tests of a specific valve.
b
The packing test shall be performed during the shell hydrostatic test if packing is installed during that test in
accordance with 4.4 and 5.6.2. The supplementary packing test can also be performed in accordance with 4.4
and 5.6.3 if desired or specified by the customer.

4.2 Hydrostatic test
All control valve assemblies, excluding welded on fittings, with or without the actuator fitted,
shall be subject to a hydrostatic test as specified in 5.4.
4.3 Seat leakage test
The manufacturer shall advise if the achievable leak rate is less than the maximum allowed leak
rate. If agreed to by the manufacturer and the user, the actual leak rate and allowed leak rate
and the corresponding test pressure may be reported on the final certification.
Leakage shall be specified by the following code:
X X X
↓ ↓ ↓
Leakage class Test fluid Test procedure
as shown in Table 3: G: air or nitrogen 1 or 2
I to VI L: water

Example: III L 1
The seat leakage test as described in 5.5 shall be performed on each valve.
These seat leakage provisions do not apply to control valves with rated flow coefficients less
than the following:
K = 0,086;   C = 0,1
v v
Class VI is intended to apply to resilient seated valves only.

SIST EN IEC 60534-4:2022
– 10 – IEC 60534-4:2021 © IEC 2021
NOTE 1 This part of the standard cannot be used as a basis for predicting leakage when the control valve is installed
under actual operating conditions.
NOTE 2 The actual and allowed leak rates, along with the corresponding test pressure, can also be included in the
test certification upon agreement between the manufacturer and the buyer.
4.4 Packing test
This test, as described in 5.6, applies to the main valve packing. Secondary packing of the
bellows may be excluded from this test when it is not under pressure during the hydrostatic test.
4.5 Rated valve travel test
Travel adjustment of control valves shall be verified by test in the factory as described in 5.7.
4.6 Dead band tests
The purpose of the dead band test is to measure the change in operating signal required to
produce a reversal of stem (or shaft) movement at approximately 25 %, 50 % and 75 % of the
rated travel of the valve actuator. These tests as described in 5.8 shall be performed on the
assembly as it will be supplied.
4.7 Additional tests
Additional tests such as flow capacity, flow characteristic, stroking time, hysteresis, etc. (which
are outside the scope of this standard), if required, shall be the subject of agreement between
the manufacturer and the purchaser.
5 Tests procedures
5.1 Measuring instruments
5.1.1 General
Performance of measuring instruments is based on IEC 61298. The installation of all
instruments shall be capable of meeting the requested accuracy.
5.1.2 Pressure measuring instruments
The analogue or digital pressure measuring instruments used in testing shall be of the indicating
or recording type but shall be installed in such a manner that they represent the actual pressure
in the component under test. The measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring the test
pressure with a limit deviation of ±5 % of the required test pressure. For dead band testing, the
inaccuracy of the instruments shall not exceed ±0,5 % of full range, and the maximum signal
shall be not less than 50 % of the instrument range. The readout of attached digital positioners
can be used for the pressure measurement if the stated accuracy is maintained.
5.1.3 Flow measuring instruments
The accuracy of the instruments used for measuring seat leakage shall be within ±10 % of full
scale and shall be used within 20 % to 80 % of the scale range.
5.1.4 Travel measuring instruments
The accuracy of the instruments used to measure travel shall be within ±0,5 % of the rated
travel. Digital positioners may be used for deadband measurements if the repeatability is ±0,5 %
or better.
