What is BS EN 16722 — Dimensions for Industrial valves about?
BS EN 16722 is an international standard that discusses requirements for good quality industrial valves. It provides the best industrial guidance for manufacturing valves.
BS EN 16722 specifies the end-to-end and centre-to-end dimensions for valves with threaded ends with connecting dimensions in compliance with EN ISO 228-1 or EN 10226-1 used in PN and Class designated piping systems.
BS EN 16722 describes the range of PN:
- PN 10; PN 16; PN 25; PN 40; PN 63; PN 100; PN 160; PN 250; PN 320; PN 400
The range of Class is:
- Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 900, Class 1 500, Class 2 500
The range of nominal size is:
- DN 4; DN 6; DN 8; DN 10; DN 15; DN 20; DN 25; DN 32; DN 40; DN 50; DN 65; DN 80; DN 100
BS EN 16722 also describes the relationship between nominal size (DN) and nominal pipe size (NPS).
Note: Valves having screwed end profiles different from those specified in EN ISO 228-1 or EN 10226–1, may use the same dimensions as those specified in Table 1.
Who is BS EN 16722 — Dimensions for Industrial valves for?
BS EN 16722 on Dimensions for Industrial valves is useful for:

- Installers and maintenance providers for valves
Why should you use BS EN 16722 — Dimensions for Industrial valves?
The mechanical instruments that can open, close, or partially block the passage-ways, to control the flow of liquid or gas within a system are called industrial valves. There are various types of valves used in the industries that serve different variety of purposes, but its chief function is to regulate the media flow through a system, according to the requirement.
BS EN 16722 provides you with dimensions for various types of valves such as straight pattern valves, angle pattern valves, three-way pattern valves, etc., with threaded ends with connecting dimensions. It sets out the appropriate specifications for the designing and manufacturing of the valves, which enables the users to improve the quality, reliability, and durability of the industrial valves. With compliance and obedience to BS EN 16722, you can enhance the efficiency or efficacy of machinery and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
