API SPEC 6FD-ed.1-RUSSIAN

Annotation of standard text API SPEC 6FD-ed.1-RUSSIAN :

API SPEC 6FD RUSSIAN, 1st Edition, February 15, 1995 - Specification for Fire Test for Check Valves

It is the purpose of this document to establish the requirements for testing and evaluating the pressure containing performance of API Spec 6A and 6D check valves when exposed to fire. The performance requirements of this document are intended to establish standard limits of acceptability regardless of size or pressure rating.

This document establishes acceptable levels of leakage through the test valve and also external leakage after exposure to a fire for a 30-minute time period.

The burn period has been established on the basis that it represents the maximum time required to extinguish most fires. Fires of greater duration are considered to be of a major magnitude with consequences greater than those anticipated in this test.
