Protecting

The SV60 spring loaded full lift safety valve range from Spirax Sarco has been designed to protectagainst excess pressure across a broad spectrum of industrial processes. Suitable for use withsteam, gas and liquids, the SV60 safety valves provide a comprehensive and competitive solutionto most applications, including the protection of steam boilers, pipeline and pressure vessels,compressors and receivers and most general industrial service applications.

The safety valves are simple in design and available with inlet sizes of DN20 to DN150, and aresuitable for set pressures up to 40 bar.

peopleA company's most valued asset is secure in the knowledge that their

profitMajor shutdowns interfere with production and lose customers.

A continuous supply of products protects a company's image and profits

Quality comes as standardSafety valves protect people, plant and profit so there should be no compromise on quality whenselecting a valve.

The SV60 range of safety valves from Spirax Sarco meet the exacting standards laid downby AD-Merkblatt A2 and TRD 421, and their performance has been witnessed and approvedby the TÜV.

The quality of shut-off tightness is a critical feature of any safety valve and each Spirax Sarcosafety valve is tested to enure that the integrity of shut-off complies with the requirements of theAmerican Petrochemical Institute standard API 527.

Spirax Sarco is a company of assessed capability to BS EN ISO 9001

Sizing a valve

Protecting boilersSteam boilers have very specific requirements for safety valve performance.

The safety valve is required to ensure overpressure cannot occur in the boiler.

Establish the maximum flowrateThis value must be the maximum possible for the system, for example at full boiler load or maximum possiblevalve capacity.

Establish the set pressureThe set pressure must be low enough to ensure that the maximum allowable accumulated pressure of the boiler,vessel or system it is protecting, is not exceeded.

The set pressure must be high enough to ensure that there is sufficient margin above the normal system operatingpressure to allow the valve to close. However, it must be no higher than the maximum allowable working pressureof the system. For safety valves used downstream of pressure reducing valves, it is essential to establish thepressure at no load since this may be significantly higher than the working pressure for a direct acting type valve.

Unless operational considerations dictate otherwise, the safety valve set pressure should always be significantlyhigher than the system operating pressure with plenty of margin allowed for blowdown. There is sometimes atemptation to set a safety valve just above the normal operating pressure, which can lead to poor shut-off andnuisance operation.

Select a suitable size safety valveOnce the type of safety valve has been selected and the flow and set pressures established, the correct size canbe determined. For media such as steam, air and water, published capacity charts are usually quite sufficient toselect the correct size safety valve. That is one, whose capacity just exceeds the required capacity atthe desired overpressure. Where sizing charts are not available or do not cater for the particular fluid or conditionsthen the minimum required flow area will need to be calculated and a valve with a larger flow area chosen.

For hot water duty where flashing will occur, the capacity charts for water are unsuitable since a percentage ofthe discharge will be steam and this must be taken into account in the sizing calculation.

How to order

When installing safety valves, the following salient points should be observed.If in any doubt contact your Spirax Sarco engineer.

� The safety valve should always be fitted with the centre line of the spring housing verticallyabove the valve.

� There should not be any shut-off device on the inlet or outlet of the safety valve.

� The discharge pipework must not be smaller in diameter than the valve outlet.

� No undue stresses should be imposed on installation which may cause distortion and leakage.

� If a rise in the discharge pipework cannot be avoided, a small bore drain should be provided at the pointwhere water could collect, and a drain pipe connected to the valve drain plug.

� Discharge pipework should be sized in such a way that built-up back pressure does not exceed 12% ofthe set pressure.

� Spirax Sarco Installation and Maintenance Instructions should be consulted prior to installation.
