—     Method 2 is for determining the permeability at the hose and fitting interface to the test gas.
—     Method 3 is for precisely determining the permeability of the complete hose or length of tubing, including end fittings.

Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies - Determination of permeability to gas
Scope: This International Standard specifies three methods for the determination of the volume of gas diffusing through a rubber or plastics hose or length of tubing in a specified time. Method 1: For determining the permeability of the complete hose or length of tubing, excluding end-fittings, to the test gas. The permeability is calculated with respect to the length of the hose or tubing. Method 2: For determining the permeability at the hose/fitting interface. This method is used when determining the permeability characteristics of hoses with an unpricked cover, when the gas usually issues from the textile reinforcement at the cut ends. The permeability is calculated with respect to the length of the hose. Method 3: For determining precisely the permeability of a hose or hose assembly to the test gas. The permeability is calculated with respect to the surface area of the hose lining. The methods are applicable only to gases which are insoluble in water.

Industrial process control systems - Part 2: Methods of evaluating the performance of intelligent valve positioners with pneumatic outputs mounted on an actuator valve assembly
Scope: This part of IEC 61514 specifies design reviews and tests intended to measure and determine the static and dynamic performance, the degree of intelligence and the communication capabilities of single-acting or double-acting intelligent valve positioners. The tests may be applied to positioners which receive standard analogue electrical input signals (as specified in IEC 60381) and/or digital signals via a data communication link (for example Fieldbus) and have a pneumatic output. An intelligent valve positioner as defined in Clause 3 is an instrument that uses for performing its functions digital techniques for data processing, decision-making and bi-directional communication. It may be equipped with additional sensors and additional functionality supporting the main function.
The performance testing of an intelligent valve positioner needs to be conducted with the positioner mounted on and connected to the actuator/valve assembly the positioner is to be used on. The specific characteristic parameters of these combinations such as size, stroke, friction, type of packing, spring package and supply pressure for the pneumatic part, should be carefully chosen and reported, since the performance of a positioner is greatly dependent on the used actuator.
The methods of evaluation given in this standard are intended for testing laboratories to verify equipment performance specifications. The manufacturers of intelligent positioners are urged to apply this standard at an early stage of development.
This standard is intended to provide guidance for designing evaluations of intelligent valve positioners by providing:
– a checklist for reviewing their hardware and software design in a structured way;
– test methods for measuring and qualifying their performance under various environmental and operational conditions;
– methods for reporting the data obtained.
When a full evaluation, in accordance with this standard, is not required or possible, the tests which are required should be performed and the results should be reported in accordance with the relevant parts of this standard. In such cases, the test report should state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein. Furthermore, the items omitted should be mentioned, to give the reader of the report a clear overview.
The standard is also applicable for non-intelligent microprocessor-based valve positioners without means for bi-directional communication. In that case an evaluation should be reduced to a limited programme of performance testing and a short review of the construction.

Industrial-process control systems - Methods of evaluating the performance of valve positioners with pneumatic outputs
Scope: This International Standard specifies tests designed to determine the static and dynamic performance of single-acting or double-acting analogue positioners. The tests may be applied to positioners which receive standard analogue input signals (as specified in IEC 60381 and IEC 60382) and have a pneumatic output.
Positioners with pulsed or digital input signals, positioners with digital controllers and positioners with pulsed outputs are outside the scope of this standard.
Testing may be conducted either on a positioner alone, independently of an actuator, or on a positioner mounted and connected to a specific actuator, as a combined unit. The text makes clear where different approaches are required.
The methods of evaluation given in this standard are intended for use by manufacturers to determine the performance of their products, and by users, or independent testing establishments, to verify manufacturers' performance specifications.
The closest liaison should be maintained between the evaluating body and the manufacturer.
Note should be taken of the manufacturer's specifications for the instrument when the test programme is being decided, and the manufacturer should be invited to comment on both the test programme and the results. His comments on the results should be included in any report produced by the testing organization.
This standard is intended to provide definitions of positioner elements, actions, and characteristics, to specify uniform methods of measuring performance errors and effects of influence quantities on those characteristics, and to describe methods of reporting and evaluating the results of the measurement data obtained.
The test conditions described in this publication (for example range of ambient temperatures and power supply) relate to conditions which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified shall be used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer or user. If other values are used, they should be stated. It is recognized that the manufacturer's specifications and instructions for installation and operation should apply during all steps.
The tests specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically designed for unusually arduous conditions. Conversely, a reduced series of tests may serve adequately for instruments designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions.
When a full evaluation, in accordance with this standard, is not required or possible, those tests which are required should be performed and the results reported in accordance with the relevant parts of this standard. In such cases, the test report should state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein.
