Technical Requirements a.ii. Technical documents to be submitted b Type testing requirements PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS MARKING REQUIREMENTS TYPE APPROVAL CERIFICATE CONTENT APPROVAL DATE AND REVISION NUMBER BACKGROUND INFORMATION / REFERENCES PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1.a General description of the product A pneumatic actuator for valves is a component which directly converts air pressure into mechanical action, opening and closing the operated valve. 1.b Application limitations The technical requirement only applies to mass-produced pneumatic actuators having design pressure p 1 MPa and product p V 150 (V being the internal volume in dm 3 of the pressure vessel/cylinder). Pneumatic actuators shall not be used inside cargo tanks. 1.c Intended use Pneumatic actuators intended for remote and local operation of valves. 1.d System context Piping systems. Page 1 of 4

5 2. DESIGN EVALUATION 2.a Engineering evaluation requirements 2.a.i. Technical Requirements Materials: All parts of pneumatic actuators subject to internal pressure are to be of metallic materials; Grey cast iron is not to be used for pressure vessels with design pressure p > 0,7MPa; Where a specific standard is used for the design, the materials are to be selected among those allowed by that standard. Safety Valve: Piping systems where the pneumatic actuators are installed are to be provided with safety devices ensuring protection of pressure vessels in normal service. These safety devices are to be set at no more than the maximum working pressure of pneumatic actuators and sized to prevent the pressure from rising more than 10% above MAWP. Design: Pneumatic actuators are to be designed according to recognised standards for pneumatic actuators (e.g.: EN :2009) and/or pneumatic cylinders, in particular with regard to the safety factors for dimensioning of pressurised enclosures; All valve pneumatic actuators provided with remote control shall be designed to permit local manual operation of valve; The remote control system and means of local operation are to be independent. Opening and/or closing of the valve by local manual means is not to render the remote control system inoperable; Power failure of the remote control system is not to cause an undesired change of the valve position. Position indication: The actuator shall be equipped with a local indicator to clearly show if the valve is open or shut. Page 2 of 4

6 2.a.ii. Technical documents to be submitted (a) General arrangement plan including nozzles and fittings (b) Material specifications (including yield point, tensile strength, impact strength, heat treatment) (c) Welding details as applicable, including at least: Typical weld joint design; Welding procedure specifications; Post weld heat treatments. (d) Constructional details of all pressure parts, such as shells, headers, nozzles (e) Design data, including design pressure and temperature (f) Internal volume of the pressure vessel/cylinder (g) Maximum torque on the stem of the valve. 2.b Type testing requirements (a) Burst pressure test is to be carried out at 4 times the design pressure; (b) Functional test to be carried out both by remote control and local manual operation. 3. PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS Refer to EU RO Product Quality Assurance (PQA)" procedure (Annex VI of EU RO Framework Document for the Mutual Recognition of Type Approval; Materials, including welding consumables, for the construction of parts of actuators subject to pressure are to be certified by the material manufacturer in accordance with the appropriate material specification A hydrostatic pressure test is to be carried out by the manufacturer at 1.5 times the design pressure Functional tests are to be carried out by both remote control and local manual operation. 4. MARKING REQUIREMENTS Manufacturers of the approved equipment are, in principle, to mark the product before shipment for identification of approved equipment and, in addition, at least the following items to be marked at the suitable place: (a) Manufacturer s name or equivalent (b) Type No. or symbol (c) Serial No. and date of manufacture Page 3 of 4

7 (d) Particulars or ratings. Each pneumatic actuator is to be fitted with a permanently attached plate made of non-corrosive metal, with indication of the following information, in addition to the identification marks (name of manufacturer, year and serial number): (a) Design pressure (b) Design temperature (optional) (c) Test pressure and the date of the test. 5. TYPE APPROVAL CERIFICATE CONTENT (a) Certificate number (b) Name and address of manufacturer (c) Issue date and validity of certificate / expiry date (d) Product description (e) Type / model name(s) (f) Technical specifications, ratings (g) List of approval documents (h) Rules / standards applied (i) Approval conditions including limitations, if any. 6. APPROVAL DATE AND REVISION NUMBER Date Revision Comment 31 January Accepted by EU RO MR Advisory Board 7. BACKGROUND INFORMATION / REFERENCES (a) EN :2009 (Industrial Valves - Actuators - Part 3: Pneumatic part-turn actuators for industrials valves - Basic requirements) (b) EU RO Framework Document for the Mutual Recognition of Type Approval.
