Requirements

Size detection

Socket   size: plug gauge or  caliper

Thread   detection: thread gauge

Anti-fatigue test

Test   according to ISO8659, 2500 cycles, no leakage of components. During the test,   the inside of the sample is filled with water, the outside is air, the   internal pressure is the nominal pressure, and the test is performed at room   temperature at a flow rate of (1±0.2) m/s

Vicat   softening temperature

≥74℃

Shell internal pressure test

No   leakage, no rupture

external assessment

Product   appearance: the surface is smooth, tidy, flawless, and the product is clearly   marked.

Gate:   smooth and free of burrs

Block valve sealing performance test

Air   pressure detection in two states of opening and closing(1/2"-2"   6KGS water pressure hold for 15 seconds, 2" or more 8KGS water pressure   hold for 15 seconds.
