GOST R 53672-2009 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 53672-2009 — "Арматура трубопроводная. Общие требования безопасности" (English: "Pipeline valves. General safety requirements"). The standard establishes general safety requirements for pipeline valves and their actuators throughout design, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, transport, storage and disposal.

Abstract

This national standard (GOST R 53672-2009) sets mandatory-style technical safety requirements and normative references for pipeline valves and associated drive/actuation devices. It covers safety-related design principles, strength and durability considerations, requirements for actuators and manual overrides, marking and documentation, handling and lifting, measures for preventing hazardous releases and decontamination, and rules for testing and acceptance. The standard was approved by Rosstandart and later cancelled and superseded by a newer safety standard for pipeline valves.

General information

• Status: Cancelled / withdrawn (ГОСТ отменен; cancelled by Rosstandart order N 439‑ст of 26 May 2015, cancellation effective 1 April 2017). For voluntary application the related standard ГОСТ 12.2.063‑2015 was introduced 1 April 2016.
• Publication date: Approved 15 December 2009; date of introduction into action 1 January 2011 (text designation includes year 2009).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart); published distribution through standard publishers (Standartinform / commercial distributors).
• ICS / categories: 23.040 (Pipelines and their components), classification subgroup 23.040.60 (flanges, couplings and pipeline components); related to safety and occupational safety in industrial valves.
• Edition / version: GOST R 53672-2009 (first edition; introduced 1 January 2011).
• Number of pages: Approximately 31–32 pages (commonly listed as 31–32 pp. in standard catalogues and distributors).

Scope

The standard applies to pipeline valves of various types and to their drive/actuation devices. It establishes general safety requirements to be observed during design, manufacture, installation, commissioning, operation, repair, transportation, storage and disposal of valves. It also contains mandatory annexes (calculation of strength, hydraulic characteristics nomenclature, and selection requirements for control valves used in automatic control systems).

Key topics and requirements

• Safety requirements for design and strength calculation of valve bodies and components (mechanical integrity and proof testing).
• Requirements for materials selection, welding and heat treatment to avoid brittle failure and corrosion-assisted cracking.
• Requirements for actuators and drives (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic) including presence of manual override/duplicator where required and conformity with relevant electrical and drive safety standards.
• Marking, labeling and documentation requirements — technical data, allowable pressures/temperatures, noise characteristics (if requested by customer), and traceability information.
• Handling, lifting and mounting rules (lifting points, slinging, prevention of pipeline loads transmitting to valve units).
• Requirements for measures to prevent and remove hazardous media, decontamination and personnel qualification during disposal/maintenance.
• Testing, acceptance criteria and required normative references (links to related GOST/R and IEC-based standards referenced in the normative clauses).

Typical use and users

Primary users include valve designers and manufacturers, pipeline engineers, procurement and conformity assessment bodies, plant safety and maintenance teams, certification and inspection organizations, and technical regulators. The standard was used to harmonize safety practice across industrial valve production and operation in Russia prior to its cancellation and replacement by later national safety standards.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced by or related to GOST R 53672-2009 include: GOST R 52720 (terms and definitions for pipeline valves), GOST R 52760 (marking and color coding), various strength and pressure norms (GOST R 52857 series), and explosion/EMC/drive standards (e.g., IEC/EN-based GOST R 51330.x and others). The later standard addressing general safety for pipeline valves is ГОСТ 12.2.063‑2015, which was introduced for voluntary application before GOST R 53672-2009 was cancelled.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 53672-2009 is a Russian national standard titled "Арматура трубопроводная. Общие требования безопасности" (Pipeline valves. General safety requirements) that set general safety requirements for pipeline valves and their actuators.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers safety requirements across the life cycle of valves — design, materials, strength calculations, actuators/controls (including manual overrides), marking and documentation, handling and lifting, testing and acceptance, measures for preventing hazardous releases, decontamination and disposal.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and designers of pipeline valves, plant and pipeline engineers, safety and maintenance personnel, conformity assessment bodies and technical regulators used the standard to ensure valve safety compliance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R 53672-2009 was cancelled by Rosstandart (order N 439‑ст of 26 May 2015) with cancellation effective 1 April 2017. A later standard, ГОСТ 12.2.063‑2015, was introduced for voluntary application from 1 April 2016 and serves as the newer general safety reference for pipeline valves. Therefore GOST R 53672-2009 should be treated as withdrawn/superseded.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it sits among a set of GOST/GOST R documents addressing pipeline valves (terms, marking, pressure ratings, actuators, and specific valve-type technical requirements). It references and is cross‑linked with other GOST R and GOST documents covering related topics.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Pipeline valves, valve safety, actuator safety, design requirements, strength calculation, marking, testing, disposal, GOST R, armatyra.
