API SPEC 6FC
Specification for Fire Test for Valves with Automatic Backseats - FOURTH EDITION
Organization:
API - American Petroleum Institute
Year: 2009
Abstract: It is the purpose of this document to establish the requirements for testing and evaluating the pressure-containing performance of API 6A and API 6D automatic backseating valves when exposed to fire. The performance requirements of this document are intended to establish standard limits of acceptability regardless of size or pressure rating.
This document establishes acceptable levels for leakage through the test valve and also external leakage after exposure to a fire for a 30-minute time period, both before and after reworking the stuffing box.
The burn period has been established on the basis that it represents the maximum time required to extinguish most fires. Fires of greater duration are considered to be of a major magnitude with consequences greater than those anticipated in this test.
