GOST R 53402-2009 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 53402-2009 — "Арматура трубопроводная. Методы контроля и испытаний" (English: "Pipeline valves. Methods of control and testing"). The standard establishes types and categories of tests, main (mandatory) control and test methods and criteria for evaluating results for pipeline valves.

Abstract

GOST R 53402-2009 defines required inspection and test procedures for pipeline valves, including visual and dimensional inspection, strength and tightness (pressure) tests, functional tests and documentation of test results. It includes normative and informative annexes with recommended measuring equipment, test-stand schematics and report formats.

General information

• Status: Cancelled (withdrawn from national application by Rosstandart order; superseded by a later interstate GOST).
• Publication date: Introduced 1 January 2010 (adopted by order dated 30 September 2009, designation year 2009).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) — national standard of the Russian Federation (GOST R).
• ICS / categories: Pipeline valves and pipeline components — sector: hydraulics/piping and pipeline components (pipeline valves testing and inspection). (See related classification 23.040 series).
• Edition / version: GOST R 53402-2009 (original 2009 designation; introduced into effect 2010).
• Number of pages: 58 pages (typical published text/pdf).

Scope

The standard applies to pipeline valves of various types and purposes and establishes the categories of tests (acceptance, routine, type and special tests), mandatory test methods and acceptance criteria. It is intended to be used for serially manufactured valves as well as prototype testing and to document and record test results in conformity with product documentation and regulatory requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of test categories (acceptance, routine, type, special) and when each applies.
• Visual and dimensional inspection procedures, marking and coating checks.
• Pressure/strength testing methods and tightness (leakage) tests using water, air and alternative media; criteria for passage/failure.
• Functional operation tests (actuation, cycling) and assessment of mechanical operability.
• Requirements for test equipment, measuring instruments and calibration/verification (recommended equipment listed in annexes).
• Documentation and reporting: recommended test record forms, reporting of nonconformities and acceptance criteria.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of pipeline valves, in-house and independent test laboratories, quality and R&D departments, certification bodies and procurement/specification engineers use the standard to plan and perform mandatory and acceptance tests, prepare test reports and ensure valves meet required performance and safety criteria.

Related standards

GOST R 53402-2009 was aligned with and references a number of international and industry standards used for valve testing (for example ISO 5208, IEC 60534-4, API 598 and other API/EN/ISO documents). It was formally withdrawn and the subject of valve test methods was taken over by the interstate standard GOST 33257-2015 ("Pipeline valves. Methods of control and testing") introduced for voluntary application in the Russian Federation; related new GOSTs for valve materials and other valve requirements (for example GOST 33260-2015) were published in the same consolidation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 53402-2009 is a Russian national standard titled "Арматура трубопроводная. Методы контроля и испытаний" (Pipeline valves. Methods of control and testing) that specified test and inspection methods for pipeline valves.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers types and categories of tests (acceptance, routine, type and special), visual and dimensional checks, strength and leakage tests, functional testing, requirements for test equipment and documentation/reporting of test results.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Valve manufacturers, testing laboratories, quality assurance and R&D teams, certification bodies and procurement/specification engineers involved with pipeline valve selection and verification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R 53402-2009 has been cancelled by Rosstandart (order dated 26 May 2015) with effect from 1 April 2017; its content was replaced by the interstate standard GOST 33257-2015 ("Pipeline valves. Methods of control and testing").

Q: Is it part of a series?
