DESIGN AND TESTING :
Body- MSS SP-81 requires the valve body hydro statically pressure tested to 1.5 times the rated working pressure.
- Valve rated pressure – 150 psi
- Body test pressure – 225 psi
Gate – MSS SP-81 requires the gate hydro statically pressure tested to 1.1 times the rated working pressure.
- Valve rated pressure – 150 psi
- Gate test pressure – 165 psi
Seat – MSS SP-81 has an allowable leakage rate (for metal to metal seated valves) of 40 cc per inch of diameter, per minute at 40 psi pressure. On a 12″ valve this would be equal to 40 times 12, or 480 cc per minute at 40 psi.
- Maximum allowable leakage of 0.6 GPM when tested with water at 40 psi applied in the normal flow direction.
- No visible leakage when tested with water at 40 psi (for soft seated valves only).
Face to Face – MSS SP-81 has specified face-to-face dimensions and tolerances for each valve size to assure ease of installation for the consumer, regardless of the valve manufacturer.
