Kunkle 6010EDM01-KM-200 safety relief valve protects equipment and personnel from potentially dangerous overpressure situations within systems such as boilers, pressure vessels and pipelines. It automatically relieves excess pressure, preventing catastrophic failures, leaks and explosions, ensuring operational safety and regulatory compliance. It is used in the oil & gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical and power generation industries.
Working Mechanism:
- Pressure builds up within the system, prompting the safety relief valve to initiate its operation.
- The valve activates as pressure exceeds the predetermined safe limit.
- It swiftly opens to release the excess pressure, preventing it from reaching dangerous levels.
- The valve controls the flow rate to stabilise the pressure within the acceptable range.
- Once the pressure reduces to a safe level, the valve gradually closes to restore normal operating conditions.
- The safety relief valve is ready to reactivate if pressure escalates again, ensuring ongoing protection of the system and personnel.
Features:
- It features a bronze body and disc made from bronze, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
- This relief valve has a steel seat, providing a secure seal.
- It is equipped with a test lever for easy and reliable testing of valve functionality.
- This relief valve operates at a temperature range of -60 to 406 degrees F.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the preset pressure of Kunkle 6010EDM01-KM-200 safety relief valve?
A. Its factory pressure is preset at 200 psi.
Q. How do you test a kunkle valve?
A. To test a kunkle valve, raise the operating pressure to match the set pressure of the safety / relief valve, allowing it to open and reset as it would during normal service.
Q. What compliance does this Kunkle 6010EDM01-KM-200 safety relief valve hold?
A. The valve meets standards including "V" and "UV" under ASME Section VIII for air and gas applications.
