Apollo 511DCBKMAA0175 pop safety valve is used in boilers, pressure vessels and pipelines to prevent overpressure situations. It safeguards equipment and systems by releasing excess pressure when it exceeds a predetermined level, thus preventing potential damage or accidents. This valve offers safe operating conditions and complies with industry safety standards during critical pressure regulation.
Working Mechanism:
- When system pressure increases beyond safe limits, it lifts the valve's disc and open the valve.
- This allows the pressurised fluid or gas to escape, lowering the pressure.
- As pressure decreases, the disc reseats due to spring force.
- The pressure is then relieved, preventing equipment damage or accidents.
- The valve resets automatically or the user can manually reset it for future overpressure events.
Features:
- This pop safety valve has an inlet size of 1/2 inches and comes with an outlet size of 1 inches for a larger flow path, ensuring efficient fluid or gas movement.
- This safety pop off valve features bronze construction, providing increased durability and corrosion resistance.
- It is integrated with an MNPT inlet and FNPT outlet, allowing easy connection and secure attachment to other threaded components.
- This pop safety valve is equipped with a 316 stainless steel disc and spring, contributing to an increased lifespan and optimum performance.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What's the factory-set pressure of this Apollo 511DCBKMAA0175 pop safety valve and does Raptor Supplies offer pop safety valves with lower factory-set pressure?
A. The factory set pressure of Apollo 511DCBKMAA0175 pop safety valve is 175 psi. Customers searching for variants with lower factory-set pressure can opt for 511DCDKMAA0150, 511DDDKMAA0150 and 511EDBKMAA0150 pop safety valves having factory set pressure of 150 psi each.
Q. How do I determine leakages in this pop safety valve?
A.
- Check for visible signs of fluid or gas around valve connections and joints.
- Listen for unusual hissing sounds that might indicate escaping fluid or gas.
- Apply soapy water to valve connections. Bubbles indicate leaks.
- Increase pressure slightly and monitor for pressure drop, suggesting a leak.
