1.1 These requirements cover electrically operated general purpose and safety valves rated 600 volts or less and intended for the control of the fluids specified in 1.2.

1.2 Electrically operated valves are intended for use with the following:

a) Kerosene formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Kerosine, ANSI/ASTM D3699, and

b) Fuel oil (heating oil) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Fuel Oils, ANSI/ASTM D396, and

c) Diesel fuel, which includes renewable diesel and diesel/biodiesel blends with nominal biodiesel concentrations up to 5 percent (B0 – B5) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils, ANSI/ASTM D975, and

d) Diesel/biodiesel, renewable diesel/biodiesel blends, blends with nominal biodiesel concentrations from 5 percent up to 20 percent (B6 – B20) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blends (B6 – B20), ANSI/ASTM D7467, and/or

e) Biodiesel (B100) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle Distillate Fuels, ANSI/ASTM D6751.

1.3 These requirements do not cover valves for use with fluids other than as specified in 1.2.

1.4 These requirements do not cover valves employing electrical parts, including coils, switch contacts and resistance elements, located in the flammable gas containing compartment of a valve. Valves constructed as such shall comply with the requirements in the Standard for Intrinsically Safe Apparatus and Associated Apparatus for Use in Class I, II, and III, Division 1, Hazardous (Classified) Locations, UL 913.

Project need:

Regulators in Canada request we develop standards that include for biofuels such as ethanol blends and biodiesel blends.
