European Committee for Standardization

Industrial valves - Steel and cast iron check valves
 N EN 16767

Annotation

This European Standard specifies the requirements for cast iron or steel check valves, which are forged, cast or fabricated in straight, angle or oblique pattern (see EN 736-2) with end connections flanged or wafer, butt welding, socket welding, or threaded.

This European Standard applies to check valves mainly used for industrial and general purpose applications. However, they may be used for other applications provided the requirements of the relevant performance standards are met.

Back flow prevention anti-pollution check valves are outside the scope of this European standard.

The range of nominal sizes covered is:

DN 8, DN 10; DN 12, DN 15; DN 20; DN 25; DN 32; DN 40; DN 50; DN 65; DN 80; DN 100; DN 125; DN 150; DN 200; DN 250; DN 300; DN 350; DN 400; DN 450; DN 500; DN 600; DN 700; DN 750; DN 800; DN 900; DN 1 000.

DN 8 and DN 12 are not used for PN designated flanged end connections.

DN 8, DN 10 and DN 12 are not used for Class designated flanged end connections.

DN 750 is used for Class designated valves only.

Socket welding end valves and threaded end valves are limited to the range DN 8 to DN 65.

The range of pressure designations covered is:

a) for flanged end and wafer type end cast iron bodies:

— PN 2,5; PN 6; PN 10; PN 16; PN 25;
