Valve Integrity & Leak-Proof Testing per IS 5312 Part 2
Seat Test (Clause 8.2):
Hydrostatic Testing (Clause 8.1 & Table 3):
| PN Rating | Test Type | Test Pressure (MPa, gauge) | Duration (min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6 | Body test | 0.9 | 2 |
| 0.6 | Seat test | 0.9 | 2 |
| 1.0 | Body test | 1.5 | 2 |
| 1.0 | Seat test | 1.0 | 2 |
Additional Testing (Clause 9.1):
Post-Test Preparation (Clause 10.1):
Summary:
Perform hydrostatic seat and body tests at specified pressures and durations with zero leakage allowed, ensuring valve integrity before dispatch.
Valve Coating & Corrosion Protection as per IS 5312 Part 2
Cleaning & Coating (Clause 7.1):
Immediately after casting and before machining, all cast iron parts must be thoroughly cleaned. Before rusting begins, dip them in a tar-based bath maintained at 143–166°C. The composition proportions ensure the coating meets properties in Clause 7.3.
Testing Coating Quality:
From each bath, test one smallest and one largest valve, or a representative test piece (150 x 100 x 10 mm), for coating quality.
Hydrostatic Testing (Clause 8.1 & Table 3):
Before coating, valves undergo hydrostatic tests using water at pressures and durations per PN rating:
| PN Rating | Test | Test Pressure (MPa) | Duration (min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6 | Body test | 0.9 | 2 |
| 0.6 | Seat test | 0.9 | 2 |
| 1.0 | Body test | 1.5 | 2 |
| 1.0 | Seat test | 1.0 | 2 |
Post-Test Handling (Clause 10.1):
After testing, valves are drained, cleaned, prepared, and packed to minimize damage and corrosion during transit/storage.
Summary: Clean cast iron valves immediately after casting, dip in hot tar-based coating, test coating quality, hydrostatically test valves before coating, then clean and pack carefully.
When ordering valves under IS 5312 Part 2, the purchaser must provide the following information (Clause 11.1):
Additionally, if additional tests beyond hydrostatic tests are needed, these must be clearly specified in the order (Clause 9.1).
This ensures clarity and conformity to the standard for manufacturing and inspection.
