appropriate test once only.

Warning note. Where hydrostatic pressure testing is required, safety precaution shall be taken.

Al. PRESSURE RETENTION TEST

(see clauses 19 and 25)

A1.1 Body test. Blank off the outlet of tile valve. Render any pressure relief valve
inoperative. With the valve in the open or partly open position, connect tile inlet to a hydraulic
pressure test rig. Vent any trapped air. Subject tile valve body to the appropriate hydrostatic test
pressure for the appropriate test duration in accordance with table 3. Apply the test pressure
without significant hydraulic shock. Use no external restraint on tile valve body.

NOTE. The test may be carried out before the connector is fitted to valves with screwed-on connectors. When testing high
pressure valves with integral connectors, or with screwed—on connectors fitted, additional means of retaining the outlet
blanking the outlet blanking piece may be used to prevent distortion of the release mechanism. When testing low pressure
valves with the connector fitted additional means may not be used to retain the outlet blank: only the release mechanism
may be used.

A2. FLOW AND PRESSURE DROP TEST (low pressure valves only)

(see 22.1)

A2.1 Apparatus. A test rig of pipework of a size appropriate for the landing valve under test
and having the following features shall be used:
(a) pressure measuring devices, accurate to ± 5 kPa, fitted close to the inlet and outlet of the
valve; S

(b) two control valves fitted upstream and downstream of the pressure measuring devices;

(c) a means of supplying water at both a suitable pressure and 8.5 L/s;

(d) a means of measuring the water flow rate through tile rig, accurate to ± 0.5 L/s.

A2.2 Procedure. Mount the landing valve in tile test rig fully opened. With water flowing
through the rig adjust the control valves to give a flow rate of 8.5 L/s and an iniet pressure at the
landing valve of 470 kPa. If necessary, successively adjust the two control valves: opening the
upstream valve will increase pressure and flow while opening tile downstream valve will decrease
pressure and increase flow. Measure and record the outlet pressure.

A3. FLOW AND PRESSURE CONTROL (high pressure valves only)

(see 22.2)

A3.1 Apparatus. A test rig in accordance with A2.1 shall be used except that tile water supply
shall be at 2000 kPa and 8.5 L/s.
A3.2 Procedure. Carry out the test as follows.

(a) Mount the landing valve in tile test rig fully opened.

(b) With water flowing through the rig and at an inlet pressure of approximately 750 kPa, adjust
the control valves to give a flow rate of 8.5 ± 0.5 L/s. Measure and record the water flow rate
and inlet and outlet pressures.

18
 MS 1210 Part 1: 1991

(c) Open the upstream control valve to increase the inlet pressure to approximately 1250 bar. Do
not adjust the downstream control valve unless tile outlet pressure is outside the limits of 450 ±
50 kPa and the flow rate is outside the limits 8.5 ± 0.5 L/s. In that case adjust only the
downstream valve and by small increments only until tile flow rate of pressure falls within the
limits. Measure and record and flow rate and pressures.

(d) Repeat (c) at inlet pressures of approximately 1750 kPa and 2000 ~° kPa. 10

(e) Close the upstream control valve to give an inlet pressure of approximately 1500 kPa. Adjust
tile downstream control valve only if necessary, as above. Measure and record the flow rate and
Licensed to MOTT MACDONALD (M) SDN. BHD. / Downloaded on : 21-Oct-2010 10:34:10 AM / Single user license only, copying and networking prohibited

inlet pressures.

(f) Repeat (e) at an inlet pressure of 1000 kPa and at as low and inlet pressure as is possible
without tile outlet pressure dropping below 400 kPa. S

A4. PRESSURE RELIEF TESTS (high pressure valves only)

(see clauses 23 and 26)

A4.1 Apparatus. Apparatus in accordance with A2.l with tile means of measuring flow
upstream from tile landing valve shall be used.
Since valves with a pressure regulating device do not release water to relieve tile pressure, a
means of relieving excessive inlet pressure should be fitted when testing this type.
For testing high pressure valves fitted with a pressure relief valve, provision shall be made for
disposal of the water which will be released through tile relief valve.
A4.2 Procedure for verification of compliance with 23.1. Mount tile landing valve in the test
rig fully opened. With water flowing through the rig, adjust the contro’ valves to give a flow
rate of 8.5 L/s at an inlet pressure of 2000 kPa.
Close the downstream control valve slowly. Observe and record whether the outlet remains below
700 kPa until it is fully closed.

NOTE. It may be necessary to adjust the upstream control valve to control any increase in the inlet pressure.

Repeat the test at inlet pressure of 1000 kPa and 1500 kPa.

A4.3 Procedure for verification of compliance with 23.2 (pressure relief types only). Mount
tile landing valve in the test rig fully opened. With water flowing through the valve, adjust the
control valves to give a water flow rate of 8.6 L/s, or tile maximum possible if this rate cannot be
attained, at an inlet pressure of 500 kPa. Slowly close the downstream control valve. Observe
and record tile outlet pressure at whicil tile pressure relief valve opens.

AS. HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE TEST (diaphragm valves only)

(see clause 24)

A5.1 Apparatus

A5.1.1 Oven or furnace capable of maintaining an air temperature of 540 ± 10°C during tile test.

A5.1.2 Suitable pipework for connection to the valve inlet, to provide a water supply at a
pressure equal to tile nominal inlet pressure of 1500 kPa (low pressure valves) or 2000 kPa (high
Licensed to MOTT MACDONALD (M) SDN. BHD. / Downloaded on : 21-Oct-2010 10:34:10 AM / Single user license only, copying and networking prohibited

pressure valves) and for connection to the outlet to dispose of water passing through the valve.
This pipework shall be self—draining.

A5.2 Procedure. Remove any outlet hose connection and blank cap.

Place the valve in the oven, fill the valve with water and close it. Adjust the water pressure to
the valve equal to the nominal inlet pressure of the valve under test. Heat the oven to 540 ± 10°C
and maintain at this temperature for 20 mm. Measure the rate of any water flow from tile valve
outlet at the end of this time.

STANDARDS AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF MALAYSIA

The Standard and Industrial research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) is established with the merger of the
Standards Institution of Malaysia (SIM) and the National Institute for Scientific and Industrial Research (NISIR)
under the Laws of Malaysia Act 157 on 16th. September 1975: Standards and Industrial Research Institute of
Malaysia (Incorporation) Act 1975. The Institute is vested with the power to provide for the promotion and
undertaking of industrial research and for the preparation and promotion of standards for commodities,
processes, practices and services; and to provide for matters incidental to or connected with those purposes.

One of the functions of the Institute is to prepare Malaysian Standards in the form of specifications for materials
and products, methods of testing, codes of sound and safe practice, nomenclature, etc. Malaysian Standards are
prepared by representative committees which co-ordinate manufacturing capacity and production efficiency with
the user’s reasonable needs. They seek to achieve fitness for purpose, simplified production and distribution
replacement interchangeability, and adequate variety of choice without wasteful diversify.

Malaysian Standards are prepared only after a full enquiry has shown that the project is endorsed as a desirable
one and worth the effort involved. The work is based on voluntary agreement, and recognition of the community
of interest of producer and consumer. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are
made mandatory by statutory authorities by means of regulations, federal and local by-laws or any other similar
ways.

The Institute operates entirely on a non-profits basis. It is a grant aided body receiving financial aid from the
Government, funds from membership subscriptions and proceeds from sales of Standards and other
publications, fees and licence fees for the use of SIRIM Certification Mark and other activities associated with
Standardization, Industrial Research and Consultancy Services.
