Safety and control devices for oil burners and oil-burning appliances. Particular requirements. Automatic and semi-automatic valves | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of ISO 23553 specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements and testing of automatic and semi-automatic valves for oil. It applies to automatic and semi-automatic valves which are:

• — normally closed;
• — used in combustion plants to interrupt the oil flow with or without delay on closing;
• — for use with oil types (e.g. middle distillate fuel oil, crude oil, heavy fuel oil or kerosene) without gasoline;

NOTE 1 For other oil types (e.g. oil emulsions), additional test methods can be agreed between the manufacturer and the test authority.

NOTE 2 Oil types from petroleum refining processes are classified ISO-F-D in ISO 8216-99 and form part of a device having other function(s), such as oil pumps. In this case the test methods apply to those parts or components of the device forming the automatic and semi-automatic valves, i.e. those parts which are necessary for the closing function;

• — for use on burners or in appliances using oil;
• — directly or indirectly operated, electrically or by mechanical or hydraulic means;
• — fitted with or without closed-position indicator switches.

This part of ISO 23553 covers type testing only.
