What is BS EN 16313 – Detachable connection for heating and cooling appliances about?
BS EN 16313 is a European Standard that discusses connections for heating and cooling appliances. The main objective of BS EN 16313 is to provide requirements for detachable connections such that they contribute to the operational and functional integrity of heating and cooling appliances.
BS EN 16313 applies to detachable connections with outside threaded pipe G ¾ A in accordance with EN ISO 228. These are used in the field of heating and cooling emission systems at the following hydraulic connection points: connection between radiators or circuit distributors and the respective pipe. Another connection point, for radiators with integrated valve sets, is the screw connection to the connection fitting or to the screw connection itself.
BS EN 16313 specifies the dimensions for the single and the double connection.
Who is BS EN 16313 - Detachable connection for heating and cooling appliances for?
BS EN 16313 on detachable connections for heating and cooling appliances is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of heating and cooling appliances
- Manufacturers of detachable connections
- Product design engineers
- Anyone involved in commissioning, operating, and maintenance of central heating systems
- Quality control and maintenance personnel
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 16313 - Detachable connection for heating and cooling appliances?
On the market, a series of geometries (outside threaded pipe G ¾ A with inside cone and counter
geometries), e.g. under the designation “eurocone”, is commonly used. These geometries, however, are compatible with each other only to a limited degree. Therefore, BS EN 16313 is intended to achieve a unification of detachable connections with outside threaded pipe G ¾ A and inside cone.
To ensure of a permanent leak-tight connection, BS EN 16313 walks you through best industry dimension and designs of detachable connections.
As a result, with BS EN 16313-compliant design and dimension for detachable connections, you can maintain leak-proof functioning of heating and cooling appliances.
