RE: Fire safe test
It is important to realize that fire tests do allow some external and some through (internal) leakage during and after the test. Just not a lot of leakage.
RE: Fire safe test
Please also note the markets realities and use of language:
1. Firesafe tested: Actually tested.Several international available certified methods by different authorities. Certification available to confirm that exact this valve construction has been actually tested, or as near a type as allowed. (Near sizes and pressure classes might be allowed under the test description).
2. Firesafe construction: Usually means that the valve has a construction similar or equal to valves already tested, but not actually tested or within the available or described testrange itself. Certificate confirming test not available.
