Ships and marine technology. Design and testing requirements of pneumatic quick-closing valves. | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies requirements for the design and tests of pneumatic driven quick-closing valves, used in ship fuel and lubricating oil systems to stop the fluid flow in the event of a leak. This document is applicable to valves of nominal diameter (DN): 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, and 300, corresponding to nominal pipe sizes (NPS): 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
