Standard 158.1-2012 offers guidance on testing refrigerant solenoid valve capacity. Standard 158.1-2012 supersedes Standard 158.1-2004 and prescribes a method of testing the capacity of refrigerant solenoid valves for use in refrigerating systems. It specifies procedures, apparatus, and instrumentation that will produce accurate capacity data. It does not specify rating conditions or electrical or mechanical design requirements (rating conditions may be found in ANSI/AHRI Standard 760, Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigerants), make recommendations for safety, or specify tests for production, specification compliance, or field testing of solenoid valves.

The pipe or tubing used for the inlet and outlet connecting mains to the solenoid valve being tested shall be the size and type accommodated by the solenoid valve body connections. The main shall be free from scale, rust, and other obs… 5.2 Main Length. The inlet and outlet mains connected to the solenoid valve being tested shall be straight for a minimum of 14 internal diameters from the face of the solenoid valve inlet and outlet connections. 5.3 Pressure-Tap Holes. Pressure-tap holes must be located at the appropriate points on the circumference of the main with respect to the adjacent surroundings. With horizontal mains, pressure-tap hole position depends largely on the fluid flowing. W… Figure 6-1 Water flow test system schematic. 5.4 Fluid Temperature Measurement Locations. Measurement of the temperature of the fluid entering the solenoid valve shall be made at a point located not more than 12 internal main diameters upstream from the face of the inlet connection of the solen… 6.
