ISO 16135:2006

ISO 16135:2006 specifies requirements for the design, functional characteristics and manufacture of ball valves made of thermoplastics materials intended for isolating service, for control service, and to divert/mix fluids, their connection to the pipe system, the body materials and their pressure/temperature rating between -40 degrees Celsius and + 120 degrees Celsius, for a lifetime of 25 years, and also specifies their tests. ISO 16135:2006 is applicable to hand- or power-operated valves to be installed in industrial pipe systems, irrespective of the field of application and the fluids to be conveyed. It is concerned with the ranges DN 8, DN 10, DN 15, DN 20, DN 25, DN 32, DN 40, DN 50, DN 65, DN 80, DN 100, DN 125 and DN 150, and the ranges PN 6, PN 10, PN 16 and PN 25, and Class 150 and Class 300.
