ISO 16812:2007 – Industrial Valves – Pressure Testing of Valves is a standard that defines procedures to verify the dynamic flow performance of control valves. It emphasizes performance criteria such as pressure loss, flow coefficient (Cv), and response time, ensuring valves meet specified functionality under real-world operational conditions.
This standard is crucial for validating valve designs before deployment and for ensuring the valves' behavior under operating conditions meets safety and efficiency requirements.
The use of improperly tested valves can lead to system failures, leakage, energy losses, and safety hazards. ISO 16812 provides a comprehensive framework to:
Implementing ISO 16812 can also be a key differentiator in bids and tenders where compliance with international performance standards is a mandatory requirement.
