Cryogenic valves for hydrogen - General test method
1 Scope
This document describes the test items, test conditions, test media, instruments and apparatus, test preparation, test procedures and data processing of the performance test of cryogenic valves for hydrogen (hereinafter referred to as "valves").
This document is applicable to welded or flanged globe valves, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, pneumatic control valves and emergency shutoff valves with medium temperature not higher than -196℃ and not lower than the boiling point temperature of liquid or cold hydrogen at standard atmospheric pressure, nominal pressure not higher than PN160, and pressure class not higher than Class 900.
