1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements of austenitic stainless steel pressure forgings (hereinafter referred to as "forgings") of nuclear safety related valves used in PWR nuclear power plant.
This standard is applicable to forgings (valve body, valve deck, valve clack, etc.) of Grades 1, 2, 3 valves used in PWR nuclear power plant. It also applies as a reference for forgings of non-nuclear class valves used for nuclear purposes.
This part is not applicable to valve rods and fasteners.
