1 Scope This standard specifies pressure-temperature ratings, materials, design requirements, inspection and test, marking and requirements for steel valves of special pressure class and limited pressure class. This standard applies to valves, the pressure containing parts of which are made of materials as listed in Tables 1A and 1B, the valve body of which is processed by means of casting, forging, rolling and assembly welding, and the installation of which adopts flanged, threaded and welded connection, as well as wafer type and single flange type. This standard covers valves with nominal pressures of Class series and PN series. The parameter range of steel valves applicable to this standard is as follows: a) For Class series valves, the pressure class applicable ranges from Class150 to Class 4500, of which Class 4500 is only applicable to welded valves; for PN series valves, the pressure class applicable ranges from PN2.5 to PN 400; b) The nominal diameter of flanged valve is not greater than DN1250; c) The nominal diameter of socket weld valve and threaded valve is not greater than DN65; d) The rated temperature of threaded valve is not higher than 538°C, and the pressure class is not more than Class 2500; e) Flanged valves are only applicable to standard pressure class, not to valves of special pressure class and limited pressure class; f) Flanged valves do not have intermediate pressure class. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

General 3.1.1 Pressure-temperature rating For Class series valves, the pressure-temperature rating of standard pressure class shall be as specified in Table 2-1A to Table 2-28A, and the pressure-temperature rating of special pressure class shall be as specified in Table 2-1B to Table 2-28B. For PN series valves, the pressure-temperature rating of standard pressure class shall be as specified in Table 2-29A to Table2-71A, and the pressure-temperature rating of special pressure class shall be as specified in Table 2-29B to Table 2-71B. If the pressure-temperature rating of standard pressure class is not specified in Table 2-29A to Table 2-71A, it may be as specified in GB/T 9124-2010. The pressure-temperature rating of the valve of limited pressure class shall not exceed the value calculated according to Annex A. 3.1.2 Valve of standard pressure class Valves that meet the requirements of this standard, and valves other than those meeting the requirements for special pressure class valves given in Clause 8 and the requirements for limited pressure class valves given in Annex A, are defined as standard pressure class, and their pressure-temperature ratings are as specified in 3.1.1. 3.1.3 Valves of special pressure class Valves that meet the requirements of 3.1.2 and the inspection requirements specified in Clause 8 are defined as special pressure class, and their pressure-temperature ratings are as specified in 3.1.1. Special pressure class ratings do not apply to flanged end valves. 3.1.4 Valves of limited pressure class Welded or threaded valves that meet the requirements for limited pressure class given in Annex A and have the pressure-temperature rating not exceeding the value calculated according to Annex A and the nominal diameter not greater than DN65 are defined as limited pressure class. The requirements for standard pressure class valves are applicable to limited pressure class valves unless otherwise specified in Annex A. The pressure-temperature rating of limited pressure class does not apply to flanged valves. 3.1.5 Valves of intermediate rating Class series welded or threaded valves, and Class 400 flanged valves of standard pressure class may have the intermediate rating between the listed rated temperatures or rated pressures determined with linear interpolation method according to 6.1.5. However, linear interpolation method is not allowed to determine the nominal pressure class for flanged valves of other pressure class. 3.1.6 Weldment Valves welded in whole or in part with castings, forgings, bars, plates or pipes shall meet the following requirements: a) GB150.1 and GB150.3-2011 for assembly welding; b) GB150.4 for heat treatment of welding; c) GB150.4 for weld inspection and acceptance; d) The requirements mentioned above are not applicable to seal welding or attachment welding, such as the welding of back seal seats, valve seat rings, lifting lugs and auxiliary connectors. 3.2 Rated temperature Rated temperature refers to the temperature corresponding to pressure rating, and is the highest temperature applicable to the pressure-containing housing of the valve, i.e. the highest allowable temperature of the working medium.
