BS EN ISO 16135:2006+A1:2019

This International Standard specifies requirements for the design, functional characteristics and manufacture of ball valves made of thermoplastics materials intended for isolating service, for control service, and to divert/mix fluids, their connection to the pipe system, the body materials and their pressure/temperature rating between − 40 °C and + 120 °C, for a lifetime of 25 years, and also specifies their tests.

This International Standard is applicable to hand- or power-operated valves to be installed in industrial pipe systems, irrespective of the field of application and the fluids to be conveyed.

NOTE1 Industrial pipe systems also include systems for water supply for general purposes, drainage and sewerage.

NOTE2 Special requirements can apply to pipe systems for water for human consumption.

This International Standard is concerned with the range of DN

DN 8, DN 10, DN 15, DN 20, DN 25, DN 32, DN 40, DN 50, DN 65, DN 80, DN 100, DN 125 and DN 150

and the range of PN and Class
