  • API Standard 527.

DESIGN SCOPE

  • Sizes 1D2 [25mm D 50mm] to 8T10
    [200mm T 250mm].
  • Flange Classes ANSI 150 - ANSI 2500in accordance with the limits of API
    Standard 526. Set pressures from 3
    psig [0.2 barg] to 6000 psig [414 barg].
  • Temperatures from -400°F to +1000°F
    [-240°C to +538°C].
  • Nineteen standard material variations
    for corrosive, toxic, or unique applications.


VALVE TYPES

  • Model R is a conventional, top guided,
    single ring, full nozzle, unbalanced
    pressure relief valve.
  • Model RB is a balanced bellows valve.
  • Model RO is the model R with an elastomer soft seat for improved seat leakage protection.
  • Model RBO is the model RB with soft seat.
  • Model RS is an open yoke pressure relief valve with a plain lever cap style for steam service.
  • Model JR or JRB is steam jacketed valve for applications involving viscous or polymerizing fluids.
  • Model NR or NRB is the corresponding model meeting the requirements of ASME III.

CAP STYLE

  • Screwed cap.
  • Plain lift lever cap.
  • Packed lift lever
  • Bolted cap.
  • Optional test gag screws.
  • Yoke type gag, Model TYW-3 or TYW-
    5 for plain lever caps.
  • All R/RB models use a threaded stem
    and a drilled/tapped bonnet to permit
    easy cap conversions in the field without
    internal parts change out.

NACE MR-0175 (H2S) SERVICE

  • Three bill of material levels.
  • Level 1 for compliance of wetted parts
    in closed position.
  • Sour gas trim for CS valve in H2S environment.
  • SS trim for SS valve in H2S environment.


ADVANCED DESIGN ALL MEDIA TRIM

  • One trim design meets the ASME
    Code Sections VIII and III performance
    criteria for steam, gas, vapor,
    and liquid applications. No special liquid
    trim is required, as is required in
    competitive designs.
  • The unique disc holder and nozzle
    ring design provides stable operation
    on steam, gases, vapors, and liquids.
  • Full capacity rating at 10% overpressure.
  • Conversion liquid trim not necessary,
    reducing spare parts.
    Superior Alignment Internal
  • Nozzle threads into the valve body at
    the body bowl. The thread alignment
    is closer to the critical seating surface
    and guiding surfaces.

SUPERIOR CORROSION RESISTANT BELLOWS

  • Standard Inconel 625 provides corrosion excellent resistance and mechanical toughness.
  • No stress corrosion cracking in harsh
    environments involving sour gas (H2S) or chlorides.
  • The bellows threads on the disc holder with a locknut and gasket.
  • No welded attachment permits lower cost replacement of the bellows.


ADVANCED DESIGN TO REDUCE SPARE PARTS

  • The standard disc is reversible to provide a spare seating surface on every part.
  • Every O-ring soft seated disc retains the standard metal seating surface on the reverse side.
  • The lower half of the stem assembly, called the Point, is not integral with the disc holder. This permits lower cost of replacement for a critical guiding component. Competitor designs incorporate the guiding surface on the disc holder shaft.
  • Springs within an orifice and pressure class are designed with a fixed inside diameter to eliminate custom machined spring steps.
  • Nozzle ring is common to all pressure
    ranges or seat designs within an orifice size, reducing spare parts.


COST OF OWNERSHIP

  • When considering the total cost of continued operation, maintenance, and spare parts, the Series R/RB is the leader. It delivers exceptional performance through state of the art design features, and provides real value to its users. Backed by our extensive repair and service organization network, customers receive high quality, safety products which continue our unequaled reputation as the leader in pressure relief valve. Technology for Safety, Environmental Protection, and Productivity Improvement.
