7 | Foreword I. Introduction. I.A. Background. Resilient-seated cast-iron eccentric plug valves were introduced in the 1930s as tight-sealing and wear-resistant valves for handling fluids with solids content. The use of such valves has since grown for potable and wastewater application I.B. History. Resilient-seated cast-iron eccentric plug valves were first standardized by the Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) in 1991, in standard practice SP-108. The need for standardization of resilient-seated cast-iron eccentric plug valves I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct |
9 | II. Special Issues. II.A. General. Conditions under which a valve is to be operated must be evaluated carefully by the purchaser. Torque requirements for valve operation vary considerably with differential pressure across the valve, fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and upstre II.B. Advisory Information on Product Application. This standard does not cover all possible applications or manufacturing technologies. The purchaser should identify special requirements and required deviations from this standard and include appropriate |
