IS 5312 Part 2: Preparation for Despatch – Key Points

  • Clause 10.1:
    After testing, valves must be:

    • Drained of all fluids
    • Cleaned thoroughly
    • Prepared and packed to minimize damage and deterioration during transit/storage
  • Clause 10.3:
    When specified, body ends shall be sealed to prevent ingress of foreign matter during transit and storage.

  • Clause 5.1.1:
    Unless otherwise specified, valve dimensions must comply with:

    • IS 1538 (Part 4, 5, 6) – covers valve dimensions and tolerances.

This ensures standardization of large multi-door reflux valves in water works.

?What testing procedures are required to ensure valve integrity and leak-proof operation?

Valve Integrity & Leak-Proof Testing per IS 5312 Part 2

  1. Seat Test (Clause 8.2):

    • Valve placed horizontally, outlet filled with water.
    • Inlet open to atmosphere.
    • Apply hydrostatic seat test pressure (Table 3) for 2 minutes.
    • No leakage allowed through seats.
  2. Hydrostatic Testing (Clause 8.1 & Table 3):

    • Conducted before coating.
    • Test pressures and durations per valve PN rating:
PN RatingTest TypeTest Pressure (MPa, gauge)Duration (min)
0.6Body test0.92
0.6Seat test0.92
1.0Body test1.52
1.0Seat test1.02
  1. Additional Testing (Clause 9.1):

    • Purchaser may require extra hydrostatic tests.
    • Purchaser or authorized rep. can inspect at manufacturer’s works.
  2. Post-Test Preparation (Clause 10.1):

    • Drain, clean, and pack valves to prevent damage during transit.

Summary:
Perform hydrostatic seat and body tests at specified pressures and durations with zero leakage allowed, ensuring valve integrity before dispatch.

?How should the valves be coated and protected against corrosion?

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 RatingTestTest Pressure (MPa)Duration (min)
    0.6Body test0.92
    0.6Seat test0.92
    1.0Body test1.52
    1.0Seat test1.02
  • 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.

?What information must a purchaser provide when ordering valves under this standard?

When ordering valves under IS 5312 Part 2, the purchaser must provide the following information (Clause 11.1):

  • Nominal size of the valve required.
  • Class of the valve.
  • Specific purpose or any material specifications, if possible.
  • Requirement of a by-pass arrangement.
  • Whether a test certificate is required.
  • Requirement for inspection or witnessing of tests or a certificate of conformity.
  • Whether the body ends should be sealed for dispatch.

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.
