1 Scope
This document specifies:
a) field of application;
b) requirements for pressurised air inlet valves;
c) dimensional and the physico-chemical properties and the properties of general hydraulic, mechanical and acoustic design of pressurised air inlet valves DN 15 to DN 50;
d) test procedure and requirements for verifying these properties;
e) marking and presentation;
