13、Policy Committee at the request of the Department of the Environment on the advice of the Standing Technical Committee on Water Regulations. It supersedes BS 6283-4:1982 which is withdrawn. Each Part of BS 6283 specifies requirements for a particular device for preventing overheating and/or excess p
14、ressures in water installations, and is intended to be suitable for citing as deemed to satisfy the relevant regulations or byelaws. This British Standard comprises the following Parts: Part 1: Specification for expansion valves for pressures up to and including 10 bar; Part 2: Specification for tem
15、perature relief valves for pressures from 1 bar to 10 bar; Part 3: Specification for combined temperature and pressure relief valves for pressures from 1 bar to 10 bar; Part 4: Specification for drop-tight pressure reducing valves of nominal size up to and including DN 50 for supply pressures up to
16、and including 12 bar. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages Th
17、is document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. Lice

NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this Part of BS 6283 are listed on the inside back co
21、ver. 1.2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of BS 6283 the following definitions apply. 1.2.1 drop-tight pressure reducing valve a valve which reduces the pressure of water at its outlet to a predetermined maximum value which does not increase at zero flow with the inlet pressure maintained 1
22、.2.2 maximum inlet pressure the maximum water pressure at the inlet of a drop-tight pressure reducing valve at which the valve will function satisfactorily 1.2.3 maximum outlet pressure the maximum pressure at the outlet of a drop-tight pressure reducing valve at which the valve will function satisf
23、actorily 1.2.4 minimum outlet pressure the minimum pressure at the outlet of a drop-tight pressure reducing valve at which the valve will function satisfactorily 1.2.5 set outlet pressure the pressure at the outlet of a non-adjustable valve at zero flow 1.3 Nominal size The nominal size of the press
24、ure reducing valve and the nominal size of the appropriate inlet connection shall be as given in Table 1. Table 1 Nominal size of valve 1.4 Marking 1.4.1 Flow marking Each drop-tight pressure reducing valve shall be legibly and permanently marked with an arrow indicating the direction of flow to ide

NOTEAdhesive labels complying with BS 4781 are considered to be permanent for
27、the purposes of this Part of BS 6283. 1) 1 bar = 105N/m2= 100 kPa. All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated. Nominal size of valve Nominal size of inlet connection Screwed (complying with BS 2779 or BS 21) Compression (complying with BS 864-2 and BS 864-5 Flanged (complying with BS

29、 the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable. Licensed Copy: London South Bank U
