Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water - Air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) - Family A - Type B

This draft European Standard specifies the characteristics and the requirements of air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) Family A, Type B for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution by backflow. This draft European Standard applies to air gaps in factory-assembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ, and defines the physico-chemical characteristics of materials of construction used for the purpose and application to ensure compliance with this draft European Standard during normal working use.

Sicherungseinrichtungen zum Schutz des Trinkwassers gegen Verschmutzung durch Rückfließen - Freier Auslauf mit nicht kreisförmigem Überlauf (uneingeschränkt) - Familie A, Typ B

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften und Anforderungen für freie Ausläufe mit nicht kreisförmigem Überlauf (uneingeschränkt), Familie A, Typ B, für Nenn-Fließgeschwindigkeiten bis 3 m/s fest. Freie Ausläufe sind Sicherungseinrichtungen zum Schutz des Trinkwassers vor Verunreinigungen durch Rückfließen in Trinkwasser-Installationen. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für freie Ausläufe von fabrikmäßig montierten Bauteilen sowie für vor Ort gebaute freie Ausläufe und definiert die physikalisch-chemischen Eigenschaften der Konstruktionswerkstoffe, die gebrauchstauglich und für den Anwendungszweck geeignet sind, um im normalen Betrieb eine Übereinstimmung mit dieser Europäischen Norm sicherzustellen.
