Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water - Air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) - Family A - Type B
This document specifies the characteristics and the requirements of air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) Family A, Type B for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution by backflow. This document applies to air gaps in factory-assembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ and defines requirements and methods to verify and ensure compliance with this document during normal working use.
The fluid in the receiving vessel is assumed to have similar properties to the water supply. Where this is not the case, additional care or tests could be required to verify the efficacy of the solution in practical use.
Sicherungseinrichtungen zum Schutz des Trinkwassers gegen Verschmutzung durch Rückfließen - Freier Auslauf mit nicht kreisförmigem Überlauf (uneingeschränkt) - Familie A - Typ B
Dieses Dokument legt die Eigenschaften und Anforderungen für freie Ausläufe mit nicht kreisförmigem Überlauf (uneingeschränkt), Familie A, Typ B, für Nenn-Fließgeschwindigkeiten bis 3 m/s fest. Freie Ausläufe sind Sicherungseinrichtungen zum Schutz des Trinkwassers vor Verunreinigungen durch Rückfließen in Trinkwasser-Installationen. Dieses Dokument gilt für freie Ausläufe von werkseitig hergestellten Bauteilen sowie für vor Ort gebaute freie Ausläufe und definiert Anforderungen und Verfahren, um im normalen Betrieb eine Übereinstimmung mit diesem Dokument zu überprüfen und sicherzustellen.
Es wird angenommen, dass die Flüssigkeit in dem zu versorgenden Behälter ähnliche Eigenschaften wie die Wasserversorgung aufweist. Ist dies nicht der Fall, könnten besondere Sorgfalt oder zusätzliche Prüfungen erforderlich sein, um die Wirksamkeit der Lösung im praktischen Einsatz sicherzustellen.
Dispositifs de protection contre la pollution de l’eau potable par retour - Surverse avec trop-plein non-circulaire (totale) - Famille A - Type B
Ce document spécifie les caractéristiques et les exigences relatives aux surverses avec trop-plein non circulaire (totale) de la Famille A, Type B, pour des débits nominaux n’excédant pas 3 m/s. Les surverses sont des dispositifs destinés à protéger l’eau potable des installations d’eau contre la pollution par retour. Ce document s’applique à la fois aux surverses faisant partie de produits assemblés en usine et à celles réalisées sur site. Il définit les exigences et les méthodes permettant de vérifier et d’assurer la conformité au présent document dans des conditions de service normal.
Le fluide dans le réceptacle est supposé posséder des propriétés similaires à celui du système de distribution d’eau. Lorsque ce n’est pas le cas, il peut se révéler nécessaire de redoubler d’attention ou de mener des essais supplémentaires afin de vérifier l’efficacité de la solution en pratique.
