This specification covers the design, construction, testing and operating requirements for pressure-reducing manifolds for air or nitrogen systems, which constitute the combination of all components and piping between, and including, the inlet and outlet ports. The manufactured manifolds shall perform satisfactorily to the following procedures: visual examination; hydrostatic shell test; relief-valve lift test; seat tightness test; and external leakage test.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers the design, construction, testing and operating requirements for pressure-reducing manifolds for air or nitrogen systems, referred to herein also as manifolds. The term manifold constitutes the combination of all components and piping between, and including, the inlet and outlet ports (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses (metric SI units) are for information only.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
