The apparatus consists of a thermally insulated pressure vessel A, which is filled with water such that the volume of air above the water is 1 dm°. An open-ended glass tube B of internal diameter 5 mm has its lower end in the water in A. This tube is used to measure the pressure loss. The test pressure is applied to a second tube C, which enters the air chamber of the pressure vessel to which ‘the control under test is connected by means of a flexible tube of length 1m and intemal diameter 5mm attached to connection D. C.2 Test method Using a govemor, adjust the air pressure through the three-way tap 3 to the test pressure. The rise in water level in the measuring tube B corresponds to the test pressure Open the three-way tap 3 to connect the control under test to A Allow 10 min for thermal equilibrium to be established.

For these devices additional requirements of the new Annex F apply. The risk philosophy adopted in this standard is based on the analysis of hazards on account of pressure. The standard applies to principles to eliminate or reduce hazards. Where these hazards cannot be eliminated appropriate protection measures are specified Any residual hazard are identified and communicated to the user where appropriate. Depending on the installation situation additional requirements may epply to cover the risks arising from traffic, wind, earthquake loading and external fire. F.3 Definitions F.3.9 The Defnition of ‘maximum inlet pressure” in EN 13611 comesponds to the definition of ‘maximum allowable pressure” in the PED. F.6.1 General according ta 6.1 and addftion: ‘The safety function(s) of a control shall be independent of other functions, unless its safety function(s) cannot be affected adversely by such other functions. F.6.2 Construction according to 6.2.and addition: F.6.2.10 Design of proscurizod parts Pressurized paris shall be dasigned for loadings appropriate to thelr intended use end other reasonably foreseeable operating conditions. Pressurized parts shall withstand a pressure strength test according to F.7.9 without calculation. F.6.3. Materials F.6.3.9 Materials for pressurized parts Materials of pressurized parts, which are subject to a maximum allowable pressure > 0,5 bar, shall be suitable for the scheduled lifetime of the control unless replacement is foreseen.

Ifnot otherwise defined by harmonized design standards, a safety factor F= 4 shall be considered NOTE Experimental test factors dependent on the type of the cevice and on the material are given in appropriate design standards for pressurized pars, harmonized with EU direcive €7/23'EC, 2. g. EN 125163. F.7.9.2. Performance test A pressure of ftimes the maximum inlet pressure is applied fo the control at maximum ambient temperature for a minimum of 5 min. Then the contral is cooled to (20 + ) °C. Following this, an external leak-lightness test according to 7.3 shall not exhibit significant leaks. Deformation exceeding a determined threshold shall not occur.
