ISO 19921 Ships and Marine Technology - Fire Resistance of Metallic Pipe Components with Flexible and Elastomeric Gaskets - Test Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 19921 testing. ISO 19921 specifies test procedures for determining the fire resistance of metallic valves, piping joints and similar piping components used in naval engineering systems that contain a flexible or elastomeric seal.

The purpose of ISO 19921 is to determine whether, after a fire test period on a test bench that meets the requirements of ISO 19922, pipeline components remain tight without any failures that could affect their function, even when tested.

The purpose of this standard is to determine whether a metallic valve, fitting, coupling or similar piping component containing a flexible or elastomeric gasket can be exposed to fire without losing its function, i.e. without leaking when subjected to normal operating pressure.

Only water is allowed as the test medium. To ensure the safety of operators and the test bench, the use of flammable test environments is prohibited.

The test method in this International standard is intended to provide repeatable results when combined with a test bench conforming to ISO 19922.

Under different test conditions, e.g. flame temperature, working pressure or flame exposure time, the test is carried out with test bench conforming to ISO 19922 according to this International Standard, but under the specific conditions requested.
