BS 6765 is published in two Pars Part 1, Spocification for produstion prossure testing requirements Part 2." Specification for fire typo-testing requirements ‘This Part of BS 6755 will suporsede BS 5146 : Parts 1 and 2 and is related to ISO §208-1982, published by the Inter national Organization for Standardization (180), but ia not faquivalent in technical content. The main diffarenos ara at follows, (2) Prossura test requirements specified in BS 6146 : Part 1 have been included in this Part of BS 6785 which ‘are not specified in 180 6208, (b} Moro dotalls ofthe test methods are given inthis Part of BS 6755. (c) Maximum allowable leakage rates for the seat and back soat tests are designated differently to IS0 8208 ‘and BS 5140 : Part 2 and therefore a table of ‘aqulvalent leakage rates is given in appandix A, {d) The minimum durations for pressure tests do not necessarily comply with ISO 5208; the ectual tst dlurations are givon inthe valve product standards {6 For quidanc a table of test durations is given in appendix B and may be used where an appropriate valve Prochiet standard does not ast or where tort Limos aro not specified in a standard. (f) For comparison and information, a table of equivalent sizes of valves having diferent ond is given in appendix C. ‘This Part of US 6765 establishes the basic requirements and methods for the production pressure testing of valves. {t revises the production pressure testing requiroments spocified in BS 5146 : Part 1: 1974 and BS 6146 : Pore 2 41984 both of which will eventually be superseded by this Part of BS 6766 and will be withdrawn. In the meentime valvos should be tosted, as appropriate, In accordance with olthor: ao BS 5146 : Part 1: 1974; BS5146: Part2 : 1984; the requirements in the relevant valve produet standard; a (2) this Part of BS 6766, in preperation thar = 108 Nim? ~ 10 Pa, Gpynat by he Broa Mon dan $1 18:22:18 2005 iiards Tetaton PARTS) 85 MM U624669 OOWL029 3 Ml Its tho intention to refer to this Part of BS 6765 for production pressure testing in ell the velve product standard lista in this foreword and this will bo achioved either by revisions to existing standards or by amendments published to existing standarcs. Its expected that all valves ill be required to bo production pressure testod in ‘secordane with thie Part of BS 6765 within a date of 2 yoars of publication of thi standard, Within this perlod BS 6146: Part 2: 1984 will bo withdrawn and the ‘production pressure testing requirements specitied in BS 6146 : Part 1 : 1974 will be deleted together with clauses covering inspection requirements Its Intonded that this Part of BS 6768 bo used in Conjunction with the appropriate valve product standard when specified wholly or in part only by the valve product stand or with a valve application standard, @.g. BS 759 : Part 1, when applica, In particular it applige when specified by any one of the following valve product standards: BS 1414 BS 8153 BSBISO BS. 6364 BS 1868 © BS5184 «BS 5160 9187335185 BS D103 BS5150 —-BS5I56 «BS 6351 ASSIs1 © BSS157 «aS B352 BS5162 «BS B1SB «BS BES ‘This Part of BS 6755 gives general test requirements: specif test requirements, such as test durations and Permissible leakage rates, ae or will be Included In the velvo product standards, In audition, It may be uted for the pressure testing of valves not covered by product standards, ‘Throughout this standard all pressures specified are gauge pressures (in bart). thas boon assumed in the crafting of this Part of BS 6758 ‘that the execution of Its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experianced people because i calls for procedures that may be injurious to hoatth if adequate procautions are not taken, It rofers only to ‘ochnical suitability and does not absolve the user from logel bigetions relating to heelth and aefety at any stege. “This refers, in particular, to pneumatic testing (soe D.2 ‘and D.5) and attention is drawn to Guldanes Note G84, ‘Safety in preseur tasting’, produeod by the Health and Safety Executive and published by HMSO. ‘Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.BSI BSxb755 PARTS] 86 MM 1624b69 OO4G030 T a BS 6765: Part 1: 1986 Contents Page Foreword Inside front cover ‘Committees responsible Back cover Specitication Section one.
