24、age 3 EN 12078:1998 BSI 1998 1 Scope This standard specifies the safety, constructional and performance requirements for zero pressure governors, hereafter referred to as zero governors, intended for use with gas appliances. It also gives the test procedures for evaluating these requirements and inf
25、ormation necessary for the purchaser and user. This standard applies to zero governors for gas-burning appliances that may be used and tested independently of these appliances. These zero governors are suitable for one or more of the fuel gases of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd families, at inlet pressures up
26、 to and including 200 mbar. This standard does not cover: a) zero governors connected directly to distribution pipework or to a container that maintains a standard distribution pressure; b) zero governors intended for gas appliances to be installed out-of-doors and exposed to the environment. This s
27、tandard covers type testing only. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references,
28、subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. ISO 7-1:1994, Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made

32、 which maintains the outlet pressure constant at a value equal to or close to atmospheric pressure independent of the variations in the inlet pressure and/or flow rate within defined limits 3.2 pressures 3.2.1 inlet pressure (p1) pressure at the inlet of the zero governor 3.2.2 outlet pressure (p2)
33、pressure at the outlet of the zero governor 3.2.3 test pressure pressure to be applied during a test 3.2.4 pressure drop pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet pressure with the zero governor valve open to its fullest extent 3.2.5 maximum inlet pressure (p1max) highest inlet pressure d

43、 either internal or external to the appliance, typically without supports. NOTEA zero governor which meets the requirements of group 2 also meets the requirements for group 1. 4 Units of measurement 4.1 All dimensions are given in millimetres. 4.2 All pressures are static pressures relative to atmos
44、pheric pressure and are expressed in millibars1). 4.3 Bending moment and torques are given in newton metres. 5 Construction requirements 5.1 General 5.1.1 Zero governors shall be designed, manufactured and assembled so that they function correctly when installed and used according to the manufacture
45、rs instructions. 5.1.2 All parts of a zero governor shall be free from sharp edges and corners which might cause damage, injury or incorrect operation. 5.1.3 Holes for screws, pins, etc., which are used for the assembly of parts of the zero governor and for mounting, shall not penetrate gasways. The
46、 wall thickness between these holes and gasways shall be at least 1 mm. 5.1.4 Holes necessary in manufacture which connect gasways to atmosphere but which do not affect the operation of the zero governor shall be permanently sealed by metallic means. Suitable jointing compounds may additionally be u
47、sed. 5.1.5 Closure parts, including those of measuring and test points, which may be dismantled for servicing, adjustment or conversion, shall be constructed such that leak-tightness in accordance with 7.3 is achieved by mechanical means (e.g. metal to metal joints, O-rings).
