GOST R 54808-2011 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 54808-2011 — "Арматура трубопроводная. Нормы герметичности затворов" (English: "Pipeline valves. Leakage rates of valves"). The standard defines leak-tightness norms and classes for shut-off and related valve types used in pipeline systems.

Abstract

This national standard (GOST R) establishes leakage-rate limits, classification of tightness classes and acceptance criteria for valves (shut-off, check, safety, control, distribution/mixing and phase-separating valves) across a wide range of nominal diameters and pressures, and gives requirements for testing and measurement of valve leakage during type, acceptance and in-service checks. It incorporates and aligns with relevant international provisions (for example ISO 5208:2008 and IEC 60534-4).

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded — formally replaced by GOST 9544-2015 (standard withdrawn from national use with effect reported in Rosstandart registers).
• Publication date: Approved 13 December 2011; introduced into force (effective) 1 July 2012 (document text published in 2012 editions).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) / National standards body of the Russian Federation.
• ICS / categories: 23.060.01 (fluid and pneumatic systems components; pipeline valves and fittings).
• Edition / version: 2011 edition (GOST R 54808-2011); corrigendum(s) and editorial amendments published subsequently (corrigendum noted in 2013 information listings).
• Number of pages: Approximately 46–47 pages depending on the published copy/format.

Scope

The standard applies to pipeline valves (shut-off, check, safety, regulating, distribution/mixing and phase-separating valves) of nominal diameters from DN 3 up to DN 2000 and nominal pressures from PN 1 up to PN 420 (note: successor GOST 9544-2015 extended diameter coverage in its text). It sets the norms and classes of valve tightness used for type tests, acceptance tests and in-service leak checks, and defines how to specify tightness in technical documentation.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of valve tightness classes and corresponding allowable leakage rates for water and air tests.
• Application ranges by nominal diameter (DN) and nominal pressure (PN) for which the leakage norms apply (DN 3…2000; PN 1…420).
• Procedures and acceptance criteria for type, strength and tightness testing, including test media and test pressures.
• Measurement accuracy requirements (e.g., maximum permissible measurement error for leakage measurements and instrument/diagnostic requirements).
• Rules for specifying tightness class or explicit leakage norm in design and technical documentation; allowances for agreement between manufacturer and purchaser to set different norms for specific service conditions.
• References and alignment with ISO 5208:2008 and IEC 60534-4 (inspection and routine testing practices).

Typical use and users

Used by valve manufacturers, test laboratories, plant operators and engineering designers for: selecting valve tightness classes in product specifications; defining acceptance and factory test procedures; field leak checks and maintenance acceptance criteria; and conformity/quality documentation for pipeline and process equipment. It is commonly referenced in the oil & gas, petrochemical, water, power and industrial process sectors.

Related standards

Key related and referenced standards include ISO 5208:2008 (Industrial valves — Pressure testing of metallic valves), IEC/ISO process valve test guidance (IEC 60534-4), and national successor standard GOST 9544-2015 which updates and replaces GOST R 54808-2011.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 54808-2011 is a Russian national standard titled "Pipeline valves. Leakage rates of valves" that sets norms, classes and test/acceptance rules for valve leak-tightness.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions of tightness classes, allowable leakage rates and test procedures (water/air) for a broad range of valve types and sizes (nominal diameters DN 3–2000 and pressures PN 1–420 as published in this edition).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Valve manufacturers, test houses, plant engineers, procurement/specification writers and maintenance teams in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, water, power generation and general process engineering.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R 54808-2011 has been superseded — it was replaced by GOST 9544-2015 and formally withdrawn from national application listings (withdrawal/replace notices appear in Rosstandart records and national indices; the successor standard entered into force in 2016–2017 time frame). Users should apply GOST 9544-2015 for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of standards addressing pipeline and industrial valve testing and performance (related GOST/GOST R documents and international standards such as ISO 5208 and IEC 60534 series are typically cross-referenced).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Valve tightness, leakage rate, leakage class, valve testing, DN, PN, pipeline valves, acceptance tests.
