This European Standard specifies the tabulation method for determining the wall thickness of valve bodies, bonnets and covers with essentially circular cross-section made in forged, cast or fabricated steel.<\/p>\n

For valve shells with oval, rectangular or non-circular shapes, see 8.6.<\/p>\n

The range of PN or Class designations for which thicknesses are tabulated is:<\/p>\n

PN 2,5, PN 6, PN 10, PN 16, PN 25, PN 40, PN 63, PN 100, PN 160, PN 250, PN 320, PN 400, Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 900, Class 1 500, Class 2 500, Class 4 500.<\/p>\n

Pressure\/temperature ratings are specified for each material group for the above PN Standard Class and Special Class designations.<\/p>\n

The non-destructive examination procedures and acceptance levels that need to be applied to the valve shell components in order for the valve to be used at Special Class pressure\/temperature ratings are defined.<\/p>\n

Details are also given for the alternative rules for small bore valves of DN 65 and smaller designated as Limited Class.<\/p>\n

This standard does not apply to threaded end valves:<\/p>\n
