Abstract:  This SEMASPEC establishes a test method for determining the cycle life of
automatic valves utilizing static, no-flow conditions. Application of this
test method is expected to yield comparable data among components tested for
the purposes of qualification for installation. This document has been adopted
as ASTM F1373 and is provided for information only. Adherence to the industry
standard is recommended.
