APOLLO VALVES 13-101-B-15 Safety Relief Valve, Cast Bronze, MNPT, FNPT, 3/4 Inch Inlet, 3/4 Inch Outlet

Apollo 13-101-B-15 safety relief valve is used in industrial settings to ensure safe and controlled pressure release in systems handling liquids, gases or vapours. It prevents excessive pressure buildup, safeguarding equipment and personnel from potential hazards by discharging excess pressure when preset limits exceed.

Working Mechanism:

• The valve is set to a predetermined pressure limit. As the pressure within the system rises beyond this limit due to various factors like thermal expansion or process anomalies, it reaches the valve's set pressure.
• At the set pressure, the force exerted by the increasing pressure overcomes the opposing force of the valve's spring or weight mechanism. This prompts the valve to begin opening, creating a path for the pressurised fluid to escape.
• As the valve opens, the pressurised fluid starts to discharge from the system through the valve's outlet. This prevents the system's pressure from exceeding dangerous levels, safeguarding equipment and personnel.
• Once the pressure within the system drops to a safe level, the force exerted by the spring or weight mechanism becomes stronger than the system's pressure. This causes the valve to close gradually.

Features:

• It features a cast bronze body for structural rigidity and corrosion resistance.
• This safety relief valve utilises an EPDM disc for ensuring reliable sealing and fluid compatibility.
• It has a stainless steel spring for high resilience and longevity even under demanding pressure conditions.
• This safety relief valve has pressure ratings from 5 to 15 psi.
• It can fluids with heating capacities up to 410000 BTUh.
• This safety relief valve is equipped with a convenient test lever for quick manual testing and system evaluation.
