KUNKLE 11334059 Liquid Relief Valve, 1/2 Inch Inlet Size, Non Code Liquid, 300 PSI, 302 Stainless Steel

Kunkle 0140-C01-ME0300 safety relief valve prevents excessive pressure buildup within enclosed systems. It is effective in the manufacturing, oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation and pharmaceutical industries to maintain operational safety. This Kunkle valve is suitable for boilers, pressure vessels and pipelines to ensure personnel well-being and a safe environment.

Working Mechanism:

• When the pressure inside a system increases beyond safe limits, the safety relief valve comes into play.
• This Kunkle valve comprises a spring that applies force to keep it closed. This force opposes the pressure inside the system.
• When the pressure inside the system reaches the preset level, it overcomes the spring force and causes the valve to open.
• As the valve opens, it creates a pathway for the pressurised fluid to escape.
• The pressure inside the system decreases as the excess pressure is released.
• When the pressure falls below the set point, the spring force overcomes the pressure, causing the valve to close again.

Features:

• Kunkle 0140-C01-ME0300 safety relief valve is compact and can be installed effortlessly in confined spaces.
• It has an angle-tapped PTFE seat to provide tight seals.
• This Kunkle Valve features stainless steel construction that can handle pressures up to 300 psig.
• Also, it has an operational temperature range of -60 to 406 degrees F.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How should I determine the set pressure?

A. Consider factors like the maximum allowable pressure for the system, potential pressure spikes and safety regulations to determine the appropriate set pressure for Kunkle safety relief valve.

Q. What does the blowdown of a safety relief valve signify?

A. Blowdown refers to the difference between the set pressure at which the valve opens and the pressure at which the valve reseats or closes after relieving excess pressure.

Q. Will multiple safety relief valves provide more protection?

A. Installing multiple safety relief valves in a system parallel to each other provides redundancy and reliable pressure relief.
