This specification covers the design, construction, testing, and operating requirements for self-contained pressure-reducing valves for air or nitrogen systems. Pressure-reducing valves shall be either: type I - inlet outlet end connections of the same pressure rating or type II - outlet end connection pressure rating lower than the inlet end connection rating. Valves shall incorporate the design features specified. Pressure-reducing valves shall meet the performance requirements prescribed. Hydrostatic shell test, seal tightness test, and external leakage test shall be performed to meet the requirements prescribed.

1.1 This specification covers the design, construction, testing, and operating requirements for self-contained pressure-reducing valves for air or nitrogen systems.

1.2 The values stated in this specification in inch-pounds units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI equivalent shown in parentheses are provided for information only.
