KUNKLE 0019-G10-MG0050 Adjustable Relief Valve 1-1/2 Inch 50 Psi

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.
