Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 12221-2005 "Structural Length of Metal Valves". Compared with GB/T 12221-2005, the only changes are structural adjustments.
Aside from editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) The range has been changed and the pound size has been added (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the.2005 edition);
b) The term "wafer valve" and its definition have been deleted, and the terms "nominal size" and "nominal pressure" and their definitions have been added (see section 3).
Chapter 3 (2005 edition);
c) The structural form and dimensional requirements for the additional length of valves with annular gasket sealing flanges have been increased (see 4.1.2);
d) The structural length requirements for flanged valve connections have been changed, and parallelism and perpendicularity tolerance requirements have been added (see 4.2,.2005).
Version 4.3);
e) The structural length requirement for valves with internal thread connections has been removed (see 4.3.5 in the.2005 edition);
f) The structural length requirement for valves with external thread connections has been removed (see 4.3.6 in the.2005 edition);
g) The structural length requirement for wafer-type knife gate valves has been removed (see 4.3.8 in the.2005 edition);
h) Additional length requirements have been added for valves with ring-connected flanges (see Appendix C).
This document is modified to adopt ISO 5752.2021 "Metallic valves for flanged piping systems - structural length".
This document has undergone significant structural adjustments compared to ISO 5752.2021.A table comparing the structural numbering changes between the two documents is provided.
See Appendix A.
The technical differences between this document and ISO 5752.2021, and the reasons therefor, are as follows.
a) The scope has been changed (see Chapter 1) to meet the needs of practical applications in my country;
b) The structural diagrams for PN and Class 1 flanged valves (see Chapter 4 of ISO 5752.2021) have been removed to meet the requirements of my country's actual situation.
The need in practical applications;
c) The clause supplementing Table 1 has been changed to a note (see 4.2.2, paragraph 2 of Chapter 4, ISO 5752.2021) to meet the requirements.
Requirements of GB/T 1.1;
d) The structural length requirement for flanged straight-through gate valves with a nominal size greater than DN600 has been removed (see Chapter 4 of ISO 5752.2021).
Tables 11 and 12) are used to meet the needs of practical applications in my country.
e) The length requirements for welded valve structures have been increased (see 4.3) to meet the needs of practical applications in my country;
f) The length requirements for clamp-on valve structures have been increased (see 4.4) to meet the needs of practical applications in my country;
g) The basic series designation 109 for the structural length of Class-A wafer-type butterfly valves has been removed (see Chapter 4 of ISO 5752.2021).
Table 7) is used to meet the needs of practical applications in my country;
h) The supplementary notes to Tables 17 and 18 have been amended to table notes (see Tables 31 and 32, Chapter 4, Section 3 of ISO 5752.2021).
(segment), to meet the requirements of GB/T 1.1.
The following editorial changes have been made to this document.
---To align with existing standards, the standard name has been changed to "Structural Length of Metal Valves";
---Added a footnote regarding the priority selection of basic series valves for flanged connections (see Chapter 4, Table 8, Table 11, and Table 12);
---The informative appendix on the source of basic series dimensions has been removed (see Annex C of ISO 5752.2021).

nominal size
DN/NPS
Size designations for piping system components using a combination of letters and numbers, consisting of the letters DN or NPS followed by a dimensionless integer.
composition.
Note 1.This dimensionless number is indirectly related to the characteristic dimensions of the end connector, such as the bore or outer diameter [in millimeters (mm) or inches (in)].
Note 2.Unless otherwise specified in the relevant standards, the dimensionless numbers following DN or NPS do not represent measured values and cannot be used for calculations.
3.2
nominal pressure
PN/Class
The identifier, consisting of a combination of letters and numbers, related to the mechanical properties and dimensional characteristics of piping system components, is either PN or Class and followed by a suffix.
It consists of dimensionless numbers.
Note 1.Pipe components with the same PN or Class and nominal size (DN or NPS) values have the same connection dimensions as the flanges they mate with.
Note 2.The maximum permissible working pressure of a piping component depends on the PN or Class number of the piping component, the material, the component design, and the maximum permissible operating temperature.
Degree, etc.
3.3
The distance between the two end faces perpendicular to the axis at the end of the valve body channel.
3.4
The distance between the axis of one end face of the valve body channel perpendicular to the axis and the axis of the other end face.
4.Structural form and dimensions
4.1 Structural Form
