Cryogenic vessels - Valves for cryogenic service
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture and testing of valves for cryogenic service, i.e. for operation with cryogenic fluids (as defined in EN 1251-1) below - 10 °C as well as at ambient conditions to allow for start-up and run-down. It specifies additional requirements for cryogenic service for the appropriate valve product standard.
NOTE a cryogenic fluid (refrigerated liquefied gas) is a gas which is partially liquid because of its low temperature (including totally evaporated liquids and supercritical fluids).
It applies to sizes up to DN 150 including vacuum jacketed cryogenic valves.
This European Standard is not applicable to safety valves and valves for liquefied natural gas (LNG).
It is intended that the valve be designed and tested to satisfy a pressure rating (PN or Class). Valves may then be selected with a PN or Class equal to or greater than the maximum allowable pressure (PS) of the equipment with which it is to be used.
Kryo Behälter - Absperrarmaturen für tiefkalten Betrieb
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Herstellung und Prüfung von Absperrarmaturen für den Kryo-Betrieb fest, d. h. für den Betrieb mit tiefkalten Fluiden unter –10 °C (definiert nach EN 1252 1), wobei der Betrieb unter Umgebungsbedingungen einbezogen wird, um das Aktivieren und Deak¬tivieren (Hoch und Hinunterfahren) zu berücksichtigen. Für die jeweiligen Armatur Produktnor¬men werden zusätzliche Anforderungen an den Kryo-Betrieb festgelegt.
ANMERKUNG Ein tiefkaltes Fluid (tiefgekühltes verflüssigtes Gas) ist ein Gas, das wegen seiner niedrigen Temperatur teilweise flüssig ist (total verdampfte Flüssigkeiten und überkritische Fluide sind einbezogen).
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Nennweiten bis DN 150 und auch für vakuum isolierte tiefkalte Absperrarmaturen.
Sie gilt nicht für Sicherheitsarmaturen und Absperrarmaturen für verflüssigtes Erdgas (eng.: liquified natural gas – LNG).
Es ist vorgesehen, die Armaturen so zu bemessen und zu prüfen, dass sie einer Druckstufe (PN oder Class) entsprechen. Die Armaturen dürfen dann nach einem Nenndruck PN oder einer Class ausgewählt werden, der/die gleich oder größer als der maximal zulässige Druck (PS) der Anlage ist, in der sie eingesetzt werden.
Récipients cryogéniques - Robinets pour usage cryogénique
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions relatives à la conception, à la fabrication et aux
essais des robinets pour usage cryogénique c'est-à-dire destinés à fonctionner avec des fluides cryogéniques
(tels que définis dans l’EN 1251-1) à une température inférieure à -10 °C ainsi qu'à une température ambiante
pour permettre le démarrage et l'arrêt de l'installation qu'ils équipent. Elle spécifie les prescriptions
supplémentaires pour usage cryogénique par rapport aux normes appropriées de robinets.
NOTE Un fluide cryogénique (gaz liquéfié réfrigéré) est un gaz partiellement liquide en raison de sa basse
température (liquides totalement évaporés et fluides supercritiques inclus).
Elle s’applique aux robinets cryogéniques dont le diamètre nominal DN n’excède pas 150 et aux robinets
cryogéniques isolés sous vide.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux soupapes de sécurité ni aux robinets pour gaz naturel
liquéfié (GNL).
Il est prévu que le robinet soit conçu et soumis à l’essai pour satisfaire une pression nominale (PN ou classe).
Les robinets peuvent ensuite être choisis avec une pression nominale ou classe supérieure ou égale à la
pression maximale admissible (PS) de l’équipement avec lequel ils sont utilisés.

4 Requirements 4.1 Materials 4.1.1 Metallic materials Metallic materials to be used in the construction of cryogenic valves shall be suitable for general valve uses as defined in EN 12516-1, EN 12516-2 and EN 12516-4. In addition, the following requirements apply: 4.1.1.1 Toughness requirements Materials which exhibit a ductile/brittle transition shall have minimum impact test values specified in EN 1252-1. These requirements apply only to the critical parts of the valve exposed to cryogenic temperatures (and not to control elements for example). Non ferrous materials which can be shown to have no ductile/brittle transition do not require additional impact tests. 4.1.1.2 Corrosion resistance Materials shall be resistant to or protected from normal atmospheric corrosion and to the medium handled. 4.1.1.3 Oxygen compatibility If the specified minimum temperature is equal to or below the boiling point of air (approximately – 190 °C at atmospheric pressure) or the valve is intended for oxygen service the materials which are, or likely to be, in contact with oxygen or an oxygen enriched air shall be oxygen compatible in accordance with EN 1797.
4.1.1.4 Flammable gas compatibility For hydrogen service, see EN 1797. SIST EN 1626:2009
EN 1626:2008 (E) 6 Copper alloys less than 70 % of copper shall be used for fluids containing acetylene. 4.1.2 Non metallic materials Non metallic materials to be used in packing, seats and glands shall: - have mechanical properties which will allow the valves to pass the sample valve test for category A valves as defined in this standard (see 5.2); - be oxygen compatible, if applicable, see 4.1.1.3. If non metallic materials are used for structural parts, their suitability shall be proven. 4.2 Design 4.2.1 General The valves shall fulfil their function in a safe manner within the temperature range from + 65 °C to their specified minimum temperature and the pressure range intended for use. 4.2.2 Packing gland Valves can have an extended stem. The length of the extension shall be sufficient to maintain the stem packing at a temperature high enough to permit operation within the normal temperature range of the packing material. Valves without an extended stem shall have a stem packing capable of operating at the specified minimum temperature. The handle shall be designed to remain operable for the duration of the sample valve test in accordance with 5.2.3.2. Gland designs incorporating a gland nut with a male or female thread shall be such that the nut shall not unscrew unintentionally, for example when the valve is operated. 4.2.3 Operating positions Valves with an extended stem shall be capable of operation with the valve stem at any position from the vertical to 25° above the horizontal. 4.2.4 Trapped liquid Cavities where liquid can be trapped and build up detrimental pressures due to evaporation or expansion of the liquid during warming up of the valve are not permitted.
