This document specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements and testing of automatic
and semi-automatic valves for oil.
It applies to automatic and semi-automatic valves which are:
— normally closed;
— used in combustion plants to interrupt the oil flow with or without delay on closing;
— for use with oil types (e.g. middle distillate fuel oil, crude oil, heavy fuel oil or kerosene)
without gasoline;
NOTE 1 For other oil types (e.g. oil emulsions), additional test methods can be agreed between the
manufacturer and the test authority.
NOTE 2 Oil types from petroleum refining processes are classified ISO-F-D in ISO 8216-99 and form part
of a device having other function(s), such as oil pumps. In this case, the test methods apply to those parts
or components of the device forming the automatic and semi-automatic valves, i.e. those parts which are
necessary for the closing function.
— for use on burners or in appliances using oil;
— directly or indirectly operated, electrically or by mechanical or hydraulic means;
— fitted with or without closed-position indicator switches.
This document covers type testing only.
