Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation o f national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work o f preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters o f
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the di fferent approval criteria needed for the
di fferent types o f ISO documents should be noted. This document was dra fted in accordance with the
editorial rules o f the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some o f the elements o f this document may be the subject o f
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identi fying any or all such patent rights. Details o f
any patent rights identified during the development o f the document will be in the Introduction and/or

— update o f the normative re ferences and the terms and definitions;
— addition in Clause 4 o f a requirement to mark the valve with any reduced pressure and/or
temperature limits;
— addition o f 5.6 for disc requirements;
— addition in 5.7 o f a requirement to have a feature preventing sha ft ejection from the valve in the

The maximum allowable temperature and/or the design di fferential pressure may be limited by
restrictions in the pressure/temperature ratings o f materials used for certain components.
Where components in the valve limit the pressure or temperature capability below the rating in the
specified standard, the maximum allowable pressure and/or temperature shall be marked on the valve
(see Clause 8).
For temperatures below the lowest temperature listed in the pressure/temperature tables, the working
pressure shall be no greater than the pressure for the lowest listed temperature. The use o f valves
at lower temperatures is the responsibility o f the user. Consideration should be given to the loss o f
ductility and impact strength o f materials at low temperature.

The minimum wall thickness shall be determined using the standards indicated in Table 2 .
For pressure-temperature ratings o f the valve bodies outside the size ranges o f the re ferenced standards
of Table 2, design and calculations for pressure-containing elements shall be in accordance with an
internationally recognised design code or standards with consideration o f pipe loads, operating forces,
etc. The choice o f standard shall be by agreement between the manu facturer and the purchaser.
NOTE Examples o f internationally recognised design codes or standards are ASME Section VIII, Division 1,

5.5.2.1 General
The PN-designated valves are for installation between pipe flanges that are in accordance with
EN 1092-1, EN 1092-2 and EN 1092-3.
The Class-designated valves are for installation between pipe flanges that are in accordance with
ASME B16.5 for NPS ≤ 24 or ASME B16.47 for NPS > 24.
Where through bolting is used with the result that the valve sha ft holes are too close to the bolt holes,
threaded bolt holes may be substituted.
In case o f valve size outside the scope o f EN 1092, ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47, another flange standard
may be used by agreement between the manu facturer and the purchaser. The wall thickness is to be
calculated by linear interpolation from standards specified in Table 2 .

that a ffects subsequent sealing per formance or operation. Reduction in sealing per formance caused by
de formation o f resilient seats does not constitute a non-compliance with 5.6.
NOTE High pressure testing o f resilient seated valves can de form the seat and degrade subsequent sealing
per formance in low-pressure applications (ISO 5208:2015, Table 1).
5.7 Shaft
The valve shall include a feature, so that in the event o f a structural failure o f the sha ft or the sha ft-to-
disc attachment, the sha ft shall not be ejected through the pressure boundary from internal pressure
in the valve.
I f removal o f external parts from the valve becomes necessary while the valve is under pressure,
— the sha ft shall not be ejected out o f the valve, and
— the sha ft tightness to the atmosphere shall remain.
NOTE External parts (bracket, lever, actuator, etc.) are parts which are not included in the bare sha ft valve.
The valve, without external parts, shall be designed, so that in the event o f a structural failure o f the
sha ft or the sha ft-to-disc attachment, the sha ft shall not be ejected through the pressure boundary from
internal pressure in the valve.
The sha ft-to-disc connection and all portions o f the sha ft within the pressure boundary shall be at
least 10 % stronger in torsion than the drive connection. Verification o f sha ft torsional strength can be
carried out by calculation or by testing.
At the maximum valve operating torque and applied di fferential pressure, the combined tensile stress
caused by torsion and bending at any location on the sha ft shall not exceed 75 % o f the specified
material minimum yield strength.
5.8 Operation
5.8.1 Direction of rotation

Unless otherwise specified in the valve data sheet, the valve shall be closed by operating the handwheel,
lever or T-wrench in the clockwise direction when facing the top o f sha ft.
5.8.2 Actuating devices
5.8.2.1 General
Unless otherwise agreed between the manu facturer and the purchaser, the actuating device shall be
capable o f functioning between the fully open and fully closed positions.
5.8.2.2 Direct actuation
5.8.2.2.1 Direct manual actuation

Direct manual actuation may be lever, handwheel or T-wrench.
Where a lever is used, the valve shall be open when the lever is parallel to the pipe.
When an intermediate position is specified, means o f securing the valve disc in intermediate positions
shall be provided.

ISO 10631:2021(E)
5.8.2.2.2 Direct actuation by power actuator

When the direct actuation is pneumatic, hydraulic or electric, the design o f the valve shall be such that
either with or without an intermediate part, mounting o f the part-turn actuator with a plate complying
with ISO 5211 shall be possible.
5.8.2.3 Gear actuation
The manual gear actuator shall be o f sel f-locking movement design (in any position) and shall be
provided with stops in the two extreme travel positions.
The adjustable stops shall be set and secured in a reliable way by a locking element to prevent loosening
by vibration or inadvertent contact.
The gear actuator shall be fitted with a position indicator.
On request, the manu facturer shall supply the number o f turns that are necessary to complete a full
opening or closing operation.
The design o f the valve shall allow, with or without an intermediate part, mounting o f a gear actuator
with a plate complying with ISO 5211.
5.8.2.4 Disc position indication

The sha ft end o f the valve shall indicate the position o f the disc, either by a permanent, non-erasable
mark or by its shape.
5.9 Force or torque to be applied to manually actuated valves
5.9.1 Actuating force for handwheel or lever-actuated valves

At the CWP and the maximum flow velocity (see Table 8), the tangential force, F, to be applied to the
handwheel (see Figure 6) or the lever (see Figure 7) to actuate the valve shall not exceed the values
indicated in Tables 3 and 4 .
