This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 17 July 2006 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,

4 Requirements
4.1 Classification
4.1.1 Nominal sizes
The nominal sizes applicable to each type of body end shall be as specified in Table 1 and Table 2.
NOTE 1 DN is applicable to flanged valves (PN designated) and NPS is applicable to flanged valves (Class designated).
Threaded valves are normally identified by the thread size (NPS). Capillary and compression end valves are normally identified
by nominal diameter expressed as nominal outside diameter of the connecting tube or pipe. The use of DN for valves with body
ends other than flanged is permitted.
NOTE 2 DN 6 and DN 8 are not listed in EN ISO 6708 but are the commonly used equivalent nominal size for valves having
size 1/8 and ¼ threaded ends respectively.

The PN and Class designations applicable to valves having flanged or threaded body ends shall be as specified in
Table 4.
NOTE 1 PN 20 and PN 32 are established PN designations for threaded end copper alloy valves and are additional to the list
of PN designations given in EN 1333.
Valves with capillary or compression ends are not designated by PN or Class.
NOTE 2 EN 1254-1, EN 1254-2, EN 1254-3 and EN 1254-5 which give details of the body ends for capillary and
compression end valves in this document, do not use the PN designation system given in EN 1333. If PN designations are
allocated to capillary or compression end valves, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide information on any
pressure and/or temperature limitations in service.

4.1.4 Valve series
Two series of valves are specified: series A for flanged and threaded end valves and series B for flanged,
threaded, capillary, compression and loose nut/union end valves.
Series A valves have the shell components constructed from the restricted range of copper-aluminium and
copper-tin alloys (see Table A.1) specified in EN 1092-3 and EN 1759-3, and are suitable for the
pressure/temperature ratings given in these two flange standards. Additional copper-aluminium and copper-tin
alloys are specified in Table A.1 for series A valves and the pressure/temperature ratings for valves in these
materials are the same as given in EN 1092-3 and EN 1759-3.
Series B valves have the shell components constructed from copper-zinc-lead or complex copper-zinc alloys (see
Table A.2) and have lower allowable pressures at elevated temperatures than series A valves.
4.2 Design
4.2.1 Construction
4.2.1.1 General
Valves shall be properly designed incorporating appropriate safety margins and taking all relevant operating factors
into account in order to ensure that they will be safe throughout their intended life. The construction details shall be
the responsibility of the manufacturer.
4.2.1.2 Patterns
Valves shall be full bore or reduced bore (see Figure 1).

CEN/TS 13547:2006 (E)
4.2.1.4 Shaft
a) The angular movement of the valve ball when operated from the fully closed position to the position, at which
leakage past the seats occurs, shall be not less than 5° in either direction.
The manufacturer shall carry out a type test on a production valve to demonstrate that each size of valve will
meet this requirement. The type test requirement is given in Annex C.
b) The valve design shall be provided either:
 without anti-blow out shaft ; or
 with anti-blow out shaft.
For valves with anti-blow out shaft, the valve design shall be such that the shaft shall be retained in the body,
so it cannot be blown out of the body, while under pressure, when the means of actuation or replaceable shaft
seals are removed.
NOTE Valves are supplied with anti-blow out shaft, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
c) The shaft end shall be so designed as to clearly indicate the position of the ball port, for example double flats
or notched end.
4.2.1.5 Operating mechanism sealing
The design of the operating mechanism sealing shall be one of the following:
a) packing chamber and gland;
b) injector packing form;
c) toroidal sealing rings (0 rings).
The seal of the shaft shall remain tight to atmosphere when the operating element is removed.
4.2.1.6 Stops
Stops shall be provided for both the fully open and fully closed positions of the valve.
4.2.2 Materials
The valve materials shall be in accordance with Annex A.
4.2.3 Pressure/temperature ratings
The pressure/temperature ratings for each type of valve shall be in accordance with Annex B.
4.2.4 Dimensions
4.2.4.1 Body ends
Body ends shall be selected from Table 5.
