August 1982 edition.

1 Field of application
This standard provides general information regarding the presentation of standards dealing with general purpose metal
ball valves. It specifies details to be included in the standard designation,and also requirements and methods of test for
ball valves with regard to dimensions,valve pattern, trim, body materials and marking.

2 Nominal sizes and pressure ratings

The nominal sizes shall be selected from DIN 2402 and the pressure ratings, from DIN 2401 Part 1.

3 Designation
The standard designation for ball valves as specified in the DIN 3357 series of standards shall take the following form:

Ball valve DIN 3357 - X XXXX PN XXX

- - XXX -

4 Dimensions
4.1 Face-to-face and centre-to-face dimensions
The face-to-face or centre-to-face dimension shall be selected from DIN 3202 Part 1(flanged end ball valves),DIN 3202
Part 2 (weld end ball valves), DIN 3202 Part 3 (wafer type ball valves), DIN 3202 Part 4 (threaded end ball valves), or from
DIN 3202 Part 5 (ball valves with compression ends).

4.2 Space requirement

In DIN 3357 Parts 2 to 7,the space requirement dimensions are specified as the maximum dimensions of the enveloping
body enclosing a ball valve with handwheel.
In the case of ball valves which are not capable of being operated by a handwhee1,the height required is the distance be-
tween bottom end of valve body and top end of stem.

Table 3. Pressure temperature ratings for seal category 4 ball valves

The maximum working pressures specified in table 3 are minimum values and shall apply for seal materials without filler (Le.
asbestos-free materials), intermediate values being obtained by linear interpolation.The maximum working pressurefor tem-
peratures from - 196C t o -30C are not t o be specified before the manufacturer has been consulted.

5.5 Handwheel
Unless otherwise specified in DIN 3 3 s Parts 2 to 7, ball valves shall be supplied with a handwheel.

6 Body materials
The materials listed in table 4 are materials of the pressure containing parts of the body, the choice of body material from
among the materials belonging to a particular material group being up to the manufacturer.The body port ends may also be
made of materials as specified in DIN 1629, DIN 1630, DIN 17172 and 17175.

9 Seat tightness DIN 3230 - BN or BO

Seat leakage rate 1 shall apply for seal categories 1 to
4, and leakage rate 2 for seal category 5 valves when
subjected to the nominal pressure or the maximum
differential pressure.
If the production cycle time is shorter than the test
juration specified in DIN 3230 Part 3,the test dura-
tion for all valves shall be equal to the cycle time, ran-
Jom samples being taken and tested to test level 3
'or the test duration specified in DIN 3230 Part 3.
