Cash K15CWA01-E4 pressure relief valve protects equipment and personnel from potential damage or injury caused by excessive pressure buildup. It automatically relieves excess pressure, preventing catastrophic failures and ensures system integrity. This 1000 psi pressure relief valve is used in steam boilers, pressure vessels and piping systems. It is vital in industries where safety and regulatory compliance are important, such as oil & gas, chemical processing and power generation.
Working Mechanism:
- When pressure within the system exceeds a certain level, the valve's spring-loaded mechanism is compressed.
- This compression overcomes the pressure in the system and leads to the valve opening.
- As the valve opens, excess pressure is released through it, reducing the overall system pressure.
- Once the pressure returns to a safe level, the spring extends back, closing the valve and stopping further pressure release.
Features:
- This valve features bronze construction for corrosion resistance and longevity in various pressure regulation applications.
- It utilises a stainless steel disc, enhancing its resistance to corrosion and wear.
- This valve has a 1/2 inch inlet size for connecting to the piping system.
- It is designed to operate within a pressure range of 600 to 1500 psi.
- This 1000 psi pressure relief valve has a stainless steel spring and maintains consistent pressure regulation.
- It is capable of functioning in temperatures ranging from -20 to 400 degrees F.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What pressure is the valve factory set at?
A. The factory-set pressure relief for this valve is 1000 psi, providing a default pressure release point.
Q. What type of connections does this valve use for inlet and outlet?
A. The valve features female national pipe thread (FNPT) connections for both its inlet and outlet, ensuring secure fittings.
Q. How does the bronze seat material contribute to the valve's sealing capabilities?
A. This valve has bronze seat material that offers a combination of malleability and effective sealing properties, allowing it to maintain a reliable seal against the stainless steel disc even during pressure relief events.
Q. How to test this Cash back pressure valve?
A.
- Raise the operating pressure to match the set pressure of the safety/relief valve.
- Allow the valve to open and reset as it would during normal service.
- Monitor the valve's response to ensure it opens and closes properly.
- Verify that the valve effectively relieves pressure and resets without issues.
- Perform regular maintenance and testing according to manufacturer recommendations to ensure the valve's continued reliability and performance.
Q. How do I select the right pressure relief valve for my application?
A. Consider factors such as set pressure, flow capacity, material compatibility and system requirements.
