1. SCOPE :

API 6FA cover the requirements for testing and evaluating the performance of valves when exposed to fire.

The burn period of 30 min. has been established on the basis that it represents the maximum time required to extinguish fire.

The most important test conditions are:

1) The valve shall be filled with liquid and tested in the closed position.

2) The test liquid shall be water

3) The valve shall be tested with the stem and bore in the horizontal position.

4) Gaseous fuel shall be used for test.

5) Valve shall be tested at pressure shown in table 1.

TABLE 1. TEST PRESSURE DURING FIRE TEST

VALVE TYPE HIGHT PRESSURE TEST LOW PRESSURE TEST

DN 8” CLASS 600 RF 74,5 10% bar (7,45 MPa) 7,2 10% bar (0,72 MPa)

6) The valve shall be enveloped in flame having a temperature of 761°C to 980°C average of two thermocouples.

The average must reach 761°C within two minutes from ignition. No reading shall be below 704°C.

7) The average temperature of the calorimeter cubes shall be 650°C within 15 min of starting the burn

period. No reading shall be below 565°C.

8) The flame thermocouples and the calorimeters shall be located as per figure 1 (for valves with DN ≤ 6") and figure 2 (for valves with DN ≥ 8")of API 6FA.

9) Piping upstream of the test valve larger than 25 mm (one inch) nominal pipe size must be enveloped in flame for a distance of at least 152 mm (6 inches)

10) The total burn period will be 30 minutes from ignition.

11) The test system, excluding the test valve, may be adjusted during the test period to keep the test within specified limits.

Globe Valve FB RF8” Class 600lbs - Stainless Steel

Enclosed is a sectional drawing of the valve under test complete with a list of materials : Drawing / Figure N° : 0800GLT06P00M-00MX The following tests were carried out:

1-) The valve was subjected to full hydrostatic (water) and gas tests at ambient temperature with Satisfactory results. Tests were in accordance with API 598 Ed.2016.

2-) The valve was fire tested according to API 6FA Ed.1999.

3-) The valve was completely disassembled and all components were found in good

conditions with exception of the Soft Seals that were damaged.

4-) Herewith attached and duly endorsed the following documents : Fire Test Report N° : FS-G-02-API6FA Drawing / Figure N° : 0800GLT06P00M-00MX

CONCLUSION : On the basis of test results the Globe Valve FB RF 8” Class 600lbs - Stainless Steel passed satisfactorily the fire safe test. Inspector to Germanischer Lloyd (printed/signature/stamp) R. Mastantuono
