FEATURE & BENEFITS OF TELEFLO SAFETY VALVES

SIMPLICITY IN DESIGN: Teleflo Safety relief valve

simply designed wit minimum number of parts
savings in inventory. All design options and the
various effects of system conditions, back-pressure
etc. Have been checked on Teleflo in- house, in
accordance with API standard
CONSTRUCTION: Continuous design developments
and being
backed by deep knowledge and
infrastructure, Teleflo has created different types
of models to cater to the current needs of industries
INTERCHANGEABILITY: Different models

are
available with optional accessories, by changing
only a few parts, all Teleflo Safety Relief Valve
can be converted from the standard conventional
valve to bellows type, O-ring seat seal or any type
of lever or cap is required, reducing the inventory
cost
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE: Re-engineering
has reduced the number of parts, saving by
minimizing spares inventory & making maintenance
easier and more cost effective
MATERIAL SELECTION: All Teleflo Safety Relief
Valve castings, forgings & raw material are made
from ASTM / ASME specifications. A variety of
materials are offered including non ferrous for low
pressure & temperature, as well as stellited seating
surfaces for high pressure & temperature and Teflon
Lined for chemical and process industries
SEAT LEAKAGE INTEGRITY: Selection of nozzle

and disc materials with precise lapping gives positive

shutoff complies with relevant standard and prevents
loss of flow media.

DEFINITIONS
SAFETY VALVE: An automatic pressure relieving device
actuated by the static pressure upstream of the value and
characterised by rapid full opening or pop action. It is used
for stream, gas or vapour service.
RELIEF VALVE: An automatic pressure relieving device
actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve,
which opens in proportion to the increase in pressure over
the opening pressure. It is used primarily for liquid service.
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: An automatic pressure actuated
relieving device a suitable for use as either a safety or relief
valve, depending on application.
BALANCED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: A balanced
pressure relief valve is a spring loaded pressure relief valve
that incorporates a bellows or other means for minimizing
the effect of back pressure on the operational
characteristics of the valve.

PILOT OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:

A pilot operated pressure relief valve is a pressure relief
valve in which the major relieving device or main valve is
combined with and controlled by a self actuated auxiliary
pressure relief valve (pilot).
SET PRESSURE: The inlet guage pressure of a relief,
safety or safety relief valve at which the valve pops or starts
discharging.
DIFFERENTIAL SET PRESSURE: The pressure
differential in pounds per square inch between the set
pressure and the constant superimposed back pressure. It
is applicable only when a conventional type safety relief
valve is being used in service against constant superimposed back pressure.
OPERATING PRESSURE: The operating pressure of
vessel is the pressure in pounds per square inch guage, to
which the vessel is usual subjected in service. In process
vessel the operating pressure should be less by
10% or 25 psi than maximum allowable working pressure.
OVER PRESSURE: Pressure increase over the set
pressure of the primary relieving device is over pressure. It
is the same as accumulation only when the relieving device
is setatthe maximum allowable working pressure of the
vessel.
BACK PRESSURE: The guage pressure on the discharge
side of a relief valve.
ACCUMULATION: Pressure increase over the maximum
allowable working pressureof thevessel duringdischarge
through the pressure relief valve, expressed as apercent of
that pressure or pounds per square inch, is called
accumulation.
BLOWDOWN: Blowdown is the difference between set
pressure and the reseating pressure of a pressure relief
valve, expressed as percentage of the pressure of pounds
per square inch.
LIFT: The rise of the valve disc in a pressure relief valve
when the valve disc moves from the closed position is
called lift.
BORE AREA: The minimum cross-sectional flow area of a
nozzle is called as bore area. It is also referred as a nozzle
area, nozzle throat area and throat area.
COEFFICIENT OF DISCHARGE: Coefficient of Discharge
is defined as the ratio of the mass flow rate in a valve to that
of an ideal nozzle. It is used for calculating flow through a
pressure relief valve.
Closing pressure is the
CLOSING PRESSURE:
value of decreasing inlet static pressure at which the valve
disc reestablishes contact with the seat or at which lift
becomes zero as determined by seeing, feeling or hearing.
BUILT-UP BACK PRESSURE: Built-up back pressure is
the increase in pressure at the outlet of a pressure relief
device that develops as a result of flow after the pressure
relief device opens.
SUPERIMPOSED BACK PRESSURE: Superimposed
back pressure is the static pressure that exists at the outlet
of a pressure relief device at the time the device is required
to operate. It is the result of pressure in the discharge
system coming from other sources and may be constant or
variable.

BALANCED BELLOWS
This valve is the same as the conventional design
except that a bellows has been added. When the
bellows is installed, the educator tube is removed.
Caution: It is important that the bonnet be vented to
the atmosphere. A bellows is added to the
conventional valve to deal with any of several
situation.
4 Back pressure entering the valve through
the valve outlet is excessive or variable. If back
pressure fluctuates with 10% of a nominal value, a
bellows is required. If a built up back pressure
exceeds 10% of the set pressure or cold differential
set pressure, a bellows must be used.
4If the entering fluid is slurry, highly viscous, or of a
nature that it can enter the critical clearances
between the guides/disc holders, protect that area
with a bellows.
4If the fluid being handled is corrosive to the upper
works of the valve, isolate the bonnet chamber
through use of a bellows. Conventional valves can
be easily converted to a bellows design or vice
versa through the use of retrofit kits. All valves are
balanced bellows designs, meaning that they
fully compensate for the effects of back pressure.

LIFT LEVER / OPEN BONNET

Lever: Standard safety valves are generally fitted

with an easing lever, which enables the valve to be
lifted manually in order to ensure that it is operational
at pressures in excess of 75% of set pressure. This is
usually done as part of routine safety checks, or
during maintenance to prevent seizing. The fitting of a
lever is usually a requirement of national standards
and insurance companies for steam and hot water
applications. A standard or open lever is the simplest
type of lever available. It is typically used on
applications where a small amount of leakage of the
fluid to the atmosphere is acceptable, such as on
steam and air systems. Where it is not acceptable for
the media to escape, a packed lever must be used.
This uses a packed gland seal to ensure that the fluid
is contained within the cap
Open Bonnet: Unless bellows or diaphragm sealing
is used, process fluid will enter the spring housing (or
bonnet). The amount of fluid depends on the particular
design of safety valve. If emission of this fluid into the
atmosphere is acceptable, the spring housing may be
vented to the atmosphere - an open bonnet. This is
usually advantageous when the safety valve is used
on high temperature fluids or for boiler applications as,
otherwise, high temperatures can relax the spring,
altering the set pressure of the valve. However, using
an open bonnet exposes the valve spring and
internals to environmental conditions, which can lead
to damage and corrosion of the spring.

HOW TO INSTALL A SAFETY VALVE ?

After the equipment installation or valve fitting, the
following checks have to be made:
a) Verify that the safety valve corresponds to those
one foreseen by the equipment Manufacturer on the
ground of its final use. Check also all technical data
written on the valve body and on the relative certificate
that must be included in the equipment technical
documentation.
b) Safety valves must be fitted in vertical position and
in a place easy to be reached to facilitate maintenance
and eventual rapid discharge actions.
c) In case of vessels filled with gas or steams and
liquids, the relative safety valve must be fitted in the
vessel area containing gas or steam, anyway as much
as possible far from liquids.
d) Connection between vessel and safety valve has to
be as short as possible and It must have a flow
sectional area bigger than valve outlet area.
e) No narrowing or cutting device must be fitted
between safety valve and vessel unless They are
foreseen and stated by the equipment. Manufacturer
directly and in compliance with the rules and laws in
force.
f) Pipings and connections must be cleaned and free
of deposits, chips and scales.
