copper-nickel, with minimum wall thickness as listed for that size
in MIL-T-16420 for Class 3300.
2.9.3
Globe and Angle Valves
2.9.4
MIL-V-24109, bronze body, except provide needle valve cartridges in lieu of
shutoff valve cartridges.
2.9.5
Safety Valves
ASME BPVC SEC VIII D1 and ASME BPVC SEC IX Code stamped safety valve, [Type
[304L] [316L] stainless steel,] [70-30 copper-nickel,] [70-30
nickel-copper,] [bronze,] [carbon steel,] with 0-ring seal union thread
piece ends as provided for MIL-V-24109 valves; factory set and sealed.
2.9.6
NFLPA T3.12.3 R2, nominal pressure rating of [2758] [10,341] [20,680]
[41,364] kPa (gage) [400] [1500] [3000] [6000] psig, body of [stainless
capacity as indicated, shock and vibration test not required, allowance
lists not required.
2.9.7
Adapters
Provide suitable tailpiece adapters for installation of valves conforming
to MIL-V-24109 and for other components with similar union end connections.
Tailpieces shall match pipe material: [Type 304L or 316L stainless
steel,] [70-30 nickel-copper,] [70-30 copper-nickel,] socket welding type
for 40 mm 1 1/2 inches IPS and smaller. Tailpieces for tubing: [brazed
O.D. type suitable for 20,682 kPa 3000 psi]. Provide thread piece adapters
for O-ring union installation of components made of material different from
pipe or where welded joint installation is not suitable.
2.9.8
air, with a scale approximately twice the system working pressure,
nonshatterable safety glass, and pressure blowout back to prevent glass
from flying out in case of an explosion. Gages: [90] [114] mm [3 1/2] [4
1/2] inches in diameter with a steel case and tubing and an accuracy of one
percent full scale in middle half section of scale and 1 1/2 percent of
full scale value in first and last 1/4 sections of scale. Do not fasten
bourdon tube pressure-sensitive elements with low-melting-point solder.
Print on gage faces in red letters "USE NO OIL." Provide pressure snubbers
or equalizer in pressure gage installations on inflow side of a gage valve.
Mount gage branches vertically on top of an air line to avoid branch flow
of condensate and dirt. Connect a gage to an air line or component through
an equalizer, gage valve (slow-opening needle type), and branch with
provision for bleed-off.
2.9.9
Snubbers (or Equalizers)
[Type 304L or Type 316L stainless steel] [70-30 copper-nickel] [70-30
nickel-copper] body with a rated working pressure not less than system
