Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of 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 of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13693-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture
and forestry, Subcommittee SC 18, Irrigation and drainage equipment and systems.
ISO 13693 consists of the following parts, under the general title Irrigation equipment — Safety devices
for chemigation:
— Part 1: Small plastics valves for chemigation
Chemigation valve assemblies from DN 75 to DN 350 are to form the subject of a future part 2.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13693-1:2013(E)
Irrigation equipment — Safety devices for chemigation —
Part 1:
Small plastics valves for chemigation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13693 specifies the general requirements and test methods for small plastics-bodied valves
used for chemigation, hereinafter referred to as “the device”, intended for operation in irrigation pipe
systems which may contain fertilizers and chemicals of the type and concentration used in agriculture.
It is applicable to controllable safety devices (also known as backflow preventers) with a reduced
pressure zone (RPZ), intended to prevent backflow by back-siphonage or backpressure of irrigation
water into an upstream potable water distribution system, whenever the pressure in the latter is lower
than that in the system located downstream.
It is applicable to such devices of nominal size up to and including DN 50 (2”), with a nominal pressure
of PN10, that are capable of working without modification or adjustment
— at any pressure up to 1 MPa (10 bar),
— with any pressure variation up to 1 MPa (10 bar), and
— in permanent duty at temperatures up to 45 °C and for 1 h at 65 °C.

Where the device may come into contact with potable water, the device and the materials from which it
is manufactured shall comply with national standards for potable water.
7 Design requirements
7.1 General
The design characteristics (see Figure 1) of the device shall be as follows:
a) three pressure zones — upstream, intermediate and downstream — such that the pressure, P , in
1
the upstream zone is greater than the pressure, P , in the intermediate zone, which is greater than
i
the pressure, P , in the downstream zone, under static (no flow) and flow conditions;
2
b) P − P > 14 kPa (140 mbar);
1 i
c) intermediate pressure zone connected to the atmosphere, when P − P ≤ 14 kPa (140 mbar);
1 i
d) intermediate pressure zone disconnected from the atmosphere, when P ≤ 14 kPa (140 mbar);
1
e) minimum set discharge flow (backflow rate);
f) allows verification, in every zone, of disconnection and sealing of the protection devices (obturators,
discharge valves).

Figure 1 — Design principle
The internal components of the device shall be accessible for inspection, repair or replacement. These
operations shall be possible even when the device is installed. The components shall be able to be
replaced without removing the device, without ambiguity (impossibility of reversal or interchange of
obturators, diaphragms, springs, etc.). A visible mark is not sufficient.
The settings of the springs shall be fixed and not adjustable.
Only the water pressure of the supply network shall be able to operate the control of the internal
components of the device.

Possible additional control devices (electric, pneumatic, etc.) shall not adversely affect the backflow
protection function.
The device shall be installed horizontally, except where the manufacturer states that it can also be
installed in the vertical position. The tests shall be carried out in the prescribed position.
7.2 Relief valve
When the differential pressure between the upstream and downstream check valves is less than 14 kPa
(140 mbar), the relief valve shall be open to ensure positive safety (draining the intermediate pressure
zone to the atmosphere).
The internal vertical distance, h (in the disconnected position), between the highest point of the seat of
the relief valve and the lowest point of the seat of the upstream check valve (see Figure 2) shall be
— h ≥ 5 mm, for DN ≤ 15, and
— h ≥ 10 mm, for 15 < DN ≤ 50.
