Introduction

Core changes in the standard revision

Technical elements 2010 edition 2020 edition
Definition of terms 5 basic terms New definition of "starting discharge pressure difference", deleted 2 redundant terms
Structural requirements Dispersed clauses Integrated into Chapter 5, strengthen the arrangement requirements of detection ball valves
Performance indicators 7 basic requirements Add 4 new indicators such as cycle test and hygiene requirements

Analysis of key technical requirements

1. Structural design specifications

The standard requires that the backflow preventer must be equipped with:

  • 2 independently acting check valves (without mechanical linkage)
  • 4 equal-diameter detection ball valves (position see standard clause 5.2.3)
  • Equipment above DN50 must be equipped with a removable valve cover

2. Key performance indicators

Typical case: During the factory inspection of a DN100 backflow preventer, when the water inlet chamber pressure P1=0.2MPa:

  • The intermediate chamber pressure P2=0.6MPa

    class=instrument>P2needs ≤0.186MPa (pressure difference ΔP ≥ 14kPa)
  • The starting pressure difference of the drain valve should be ≥14kPa
  • The pressure loss under zero flow state is ≤60kPa

Implementation suggestions

1. Control of the manufacturing process

Key points:

  1. The shell wall thickness should meet the requirements of GB/T26640
  2. Rubber seals must pass GB/T21873 sanitary certification
  3. Painting adhesion ≥8MPa (GB/T5210 test)

2. Inspection precautions

Type test needs to be completed:

  • 5000 opening and closing cycle tests (25%-100% flow classification)
  • 50kPa vacuum siphon test (lasting 5min)
  • Pressure fluctuation ±10kPa stability verification
