Minimum Allowable Values of Water Efficiency and Water Efficiency Grades for Showers 1 Scope This Standard specifies the minimum allowable values of water efficiency, water-saving evaluation values, water efficiency grades, technical requirements and test methods for showers. This Standard is applicable to the shower with nominal pressure no greater than 1.0MPa, water medium temperature no greater than 90°C, installed in the washroom (toilet, bathroom), shower room and other sanitary facilities. This Standard is not applicable to the shower with its own heating device. 2 Normative References The following documents are essential to the application of this document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) are applicable to this document. GB/T 8170-2008 Rules of Rounding off for Numerical Values & Expression and Judgement of Limiting Values 3 Terms and Definitions The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document. 3.1 Showers for bathing The showering apparatus consists of valve body, sprinkler, connecting pipe and other components. 3.2 Difference among flow rates Under the specified dynamic pressure, the difference between the maximum average flow rate and the minimum average flow rate. 3.3 Minimum allowable values of water efficiency for showers The maximum allowable flow rate of shower. 3.4 Water efficiency grades for showers It is confirmed as per the difference among flow rates and flow rate values, can be divided into Grade-1, Grade-2, and Grade-3; thereof, Grade-1 indicates the maximum water efficiency, while the Grade-3 indicates the minimum allowable values of water efficiency. 3.5 Rated water efficiency grade When the shower leaves the factory, the manufacturer indicates the water efficiency grade for the shower according to the provisions of this Standard. 4 Technical Requirements 4.1 Basic requirements Shower shall meet the express requirements of the product. This Standard data judgment adopts the rounding off comparison method; the rounding off of the numerical values shall be performed as per the provisions of GB/T 8170-2008; the digits of rounding off is consistent with the digits of the aforementioned minimum allowable values. 4.2 Difference among flow rates Under the dynamic pressures of (0.10±0.01) MPa, (0.20±0.01) MPa and (0.30±0.01) MPa, the difference among flow rates is no greater than 0.10L/s. 4.3 Minimum flow rate Under the dynamic pressure of (0.30±0.01) MPa, the flow rate shall be no less than 0.07L/s. 4.4 Water efficiency grades for showers Under the dynamic pressure of (0.10±0.01) MPa, the water efficiency grades for showers shall be judged as per Table 1; such water efficiency grade shall be no less than the rated water efficiency for showers. Table 1 -- Water Efficiency Grade Indexes for Showers Water Efficiency Grades Grade-1 Grade-2 Grade-3 Flow rate / (L/s) 0.08 0.12 0.15 4.5 Minimum allowable values of water efficiency for showers The minimum allowable values of water efficiency for showers indicate the Grade-3 water efficiency. 4.6 Water-saving evaluation values for showers The water-waving evaluation values for showers indicate the Grade-2 water efficiency. 5 Test Methods 5.1 Test on difference among flow rates The test on difference among flow rates (ΔF) shall be respectively performed for 3 times under the dynamic pressures of (0.10±0.01) MPa, (0.20±0.01) MPa and (0.30±0.01) MPa; respectively calculate their average values; and calculate the difference between the maximum average flow rate and minimum average flow rate. 3 times flow rates tested under (0.10±0.01) MPa are f11, f12, f13; average value of F1=(f11+f12+f13)/3; 3 times flow rates tested under (0.20±0.01) MPa are f21, f22, f23; average value of F2=(f21+f22+f23)/3; 3 times flow rates tested under (0.30±0.01) MPa are f31, f32, f33; average value of F13=(f31+f32+f33)/3; The maximum average value Fmax (by the actual maximum value), and the minim average value Fmin (by the actual minimum value). Difference among flow rates ΔF = Fmax – Fmin. The difference among flow rates and flow rate testing device for shower shall conform to the provisions of Figure 1. Figure 1 -- Flow Rate Testing Device Example Flowmeter Pressure gauge Sample Pressure source Water-supply straight pipe no less than 300mm 5.2 Flow rate test The product is connected to the water-supply pipe with diameter 15mm, and formed the using state; test it by cold water, cold water temperature ≤30°C; start the shower valve and adjust the dynamic pressure to be 0.1MPa±0.01MPa, form stable and continuous water flow; measure the corresponding flow rate as per the following requirements. a) For the single-valve single-control shower valve, adjust the handle to the maximum position; b) For the dual-handle dual-control shower valve, adjust the handle to the maximum hot & cold-water positions; take the maximum flow rate value; c) For the single-handle dual-control shower valve, adjust he handle to the maximum hot & cold water positions, and the maximum mixed water positions (i.e. in the middle); take the maximum flow rate value. 6 Instructions for Water Efficiency Grades The manufacture shall confirm the product flow rate and rated water efficiency grade according to the requirements of this Standard and test results; the product flow rate, rated water efficiency grade, and standard number shall be indicated on the product, in the exit-factory instructions, and on the package. ......
