Kunkle 0019-G10-MG0050 adjustable relief valve provides precise control over pressure levels within systems such as boilers, pressure vessels, pipelines and hydraulic systems. It is used in the oil & gas, chemical processing and manufacturing industries. This valve effectively regulates pressure levels and prevents equipment damage, leaks and potential hazards associated with overpressure conditions.
Working Mechanism:
- The adjustable relief valve detects the pressure within the system through its sensing mechanism.
- Operators adjust the pressure relief setpoint using an adjustable mechanism according to specific requirements.
- When the pressure surpasses the adjusted setpoint, the relief valve initiates its operation.
- The valve swiftly opens to discharge the excess pressure, preventing it from reaching hazardous levels.
- It modulates the flow rate to stabilise the pressure within the desired range.
- After relieving excess pressure, the valve continues to monitor the system pressure to ensure it remains within safe limits.
Features:
- It features a bronze disc, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in diverse industrial environments.
- This Kunkle pressure relief valve operates within a temperature range of -60 to 406 degrees F.
- It has 316 stainless steel construction for structural rigidity and corrosion resistance.
- This relief valve has a factory preset pressure of 50 psi.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to adjust a Kunkle pressure relief valve?
A.
- Loosen the locking nut on the relief valve.
- When the pressure reaches at least 125 psi, begin rotating the hexagonal cap until you hear escaping air.
- Finger tighten the locking nut, then repeat the process.
- If the valve releases pressure between 125 psi and 130 psi, tighten the locking nut and check once more for proper adjustment.
Q. How to test this Kunkle 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.
