Overview

FprEN ISO 8233 (ISO/DIS 8233:2020) specifies a standardized test method for determining the opening, running and closing torque of thermoplastics valves. Prepared by ISO/TC 138/SC 7, this draft international standard is intended to ensure uniform torque testing for thermoplastic valves used in the transport of fluids and to support consistent product evaluation and quality control.

Key procedural principles in the standard include use of representative test specimens, controlled test media and temperatures, and clearly defined reporting requirements. The document is applicable to valve types referenced in the ISO family for industrial valves (ball, butterfly, diaphragm, gate and globe valves).

Key Topics

  • Scope and applicability

    • Test method applies to thermoplastics valves intended for fluid transport per ISO 16135, ISO 16136, ISO 16138, ISO 16139 and ISO 21787.
    • The standard specifies measurement of opening torque (initial break-out), running torque (to full movement) and closing torque (to full tightness).
  • Test specimen and conditioning

    • Use an unused valve unless a product standard specifies otherwise.
    • At least 12 hours before testing, open and close the valve ten times to ensure smooth operation.
    • Measurements shall not be made less than 24 hours after manufacture.
  • Test conditions and media

    • Test media: water or air (air pressure limited to 0.6 MPa max when used).
    • Temperature: nominally 23 ± 2 °C.
    • For diaphragm and globe valves, the opening torque is evaluated at both nominal pressure and with no pressure difference because upstream pressure can affect operating effort.
  • Apparatus and accuracy

    • Required equipment includes a pump capable of nominal valve pressure, a torque supply device and a measuring instrument between the device and valve.
    • Torque devices and measuring instruments shall provide continuous reading and record maximum values with an accuracy of 2%.
    • Clamping of the valve must avoid applying axial force to the ends or radial force to the stem.
  • Procedure highlights

    • Gradually raise pressure over 60 s to nominal pressure and hold for 5 min (or other conditioning times if product standards require).
    • Apply torque gradually until opening torque is reached; complete full opening and closing according to operation requirements (tabled operating times and speeds for quarter-turn and multiple-turn valves).
    • Record opening, running and closing torque values; test bidirectional valves in both directions.

Applications

This test method supports:

  • Quality control during production and incoming inspection of thermoplastics valves.
  • Product development and validation, enabling designers to verify operating torques under standardized conditions.
  • Specification compliance, providing repeatable data for acceptance criteria in product standards and procurement.

Related Standards

  • ISO 16135, ISO 16136, ISO 16138, ISO 16139, ISO 21787 (industrial valve product standards referenced for valve types)
  • ISO 161-1 (nominal diameters and pressures)
  • ISO/TR 10358 (chemical-resistance data)
  • ISO 8659 (fatigue strength testing)

For test reporting, FprEN ISO 8233 requires identification of valve type, materials, DN/dn, PN, manufacturer, test date and recorded torque values (before and after conditioning where applicable). This ensures traceable, comparable torque data for safe valve selection and consistent performance evaluation.
