Safety Valve
High performance valve for compressed air
Product specification sheet
Application
Safety valves of this type are direct loaded high performance
safety valves with lifting device. They protect pressurized
compressed air vessels (cylinders, tanks) against excessive pressure.
Safety valves of this type are used for compressors and other
industrial purposes.
Special Features
• Sturdy metal construction
• Shakeproof lifting mechanism admitting no additional load
• Approved by VdTÜV for pressure range from 0.5 - 30.0 bar
• Approved by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) for pressure range 2.8 - 30.0 bar (41 - 435 PSI)
• Certified to Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, Reference No. CE 0035
• Set pressure adjustment at factory
• Set pressure settings possible between 0.5 and 30 bar in
steps of 0.1 bar
• Light weight
Range of Application
Compressed air.
Non-toxic, non-corrosive and non inflammable gases which may
be discharged to atmosphere.
Not suitable for oxygen and steam.

Method of Operation
Safety valves are direct-acting. The disc seal is pushed up by the
pressure from the system against a spring which is holding the
valve closed. If the opening force exceeds the force exerted by
the spring, the valve disc is lifted off the valve seat and the valve
discharges the medium. In accordance with the requirements of
the standard, the full discharge capacity of the valve will be
achieved when the system pressure climbs to no more than 10%
above the set pressure of the valve. Full shutoff must be achieved
if the system pressure falls to below 90% of the nominal set pressure value.
