Styles JOS-E and JBS-E product features

Bellows and top flange
Crosby Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E balanced bellows pressure relief valves provide optimum
valve performance when the developed back pressure in exhaust systems or discharge manifolds
becomes excessive.
All standard JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E relief valves feature a standard bellows and top flange
(Figure1)manufactured from Inconel alloy 625 which is a fatigue-resistant material and provides
improved corrosion resistance compared to 316L stainless steel bellows. Inconel alloy 625 is highly
Figure 1 resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion and intergranular attack. The standardization of Inconel Alloy
625 bellows and top flange provides a higher degree of corrosion resistance without the premium
extra charge usually associated with Inconel bellows.

Ease of maintenance and component interchangeability

The disc insert retention, disc holder and nozzle ring of the JOS-E and JBS-E have been
re-engineered to improve maintenance, minimize spare parts and provide more component part
interchangeability. (Figure 2)
The disc insert is inserted into the disc holder with a retention clip which is compressed as it passes
through the smallest diameter in the disc holder recess and then returns to its normal shape once
it has passed through. With the retention clip in its original shape, the disc insert is held securely in
place.
A universal disc holder allows for simple and cost effective conversions from conventional to
balanced bellows design as well as cost-effective bellows replacement. The bellows threads on to
Figure 2 the disc holder with a tailpiece and gasket.
The new nozzle ring encloses the adjustment slot at the bottom of the ring giving a more rugged,
durable design.

Chrome steel spring

Standard chrome steel spring material for applications with inlet temperatures up to 650F [343C].

Dual Certification
Crosby patented Style JLT (Figure 3) pressure relief valves offer a significant increase in capacity
at 10% overpressure resulting in the economic use of a smaller valve as well as a reduction in inlet
and discharge piping costs. The JLT trim is a field-proven patented design providing stable, non-
chattering operation for liquid service.
The JLT design is also capacity certified on gas and vapor service and can be applied in two-phase
Figure 3 flow applications. The JLT design is a logical choice for applications where the process fluid may be
a liquid or a gas depending on the overpressure condition.

Bellows Convertibility
The Crosby flanged, spring operated pressure relief valve is designed and manufactured as a
conventional valve and a balanced bellows valve. The conversion from conventional Styles JOS-E
or JLT-JOS-E in 1 D 2 through 8 T2 10 requires only the addition of a bellows assembly and bellows
tail-piece gasket. No other parts are necessary since all other parts are completely interchangeable.

Seat Design
Styles JOS-E and JBS-E relief valves are available with flat metal-to-metal seats or soft seats.
The JOS-E and JBS-E two-piece disc holder/disc insert construction provides thermal balancing
assuring maximum seat tightness, and meets the requirements of API Standard 527, Seat
Tightness of Pressure Relief Valves.
Where system operating conditions permit, soft seat or elastomer seat construction is available as
an option. The Crosby O-ring soft seat (Figure 4) is a two-seat design, with a metal-to-metal seat
located downstream of the soft seat. The O-ring is the primary seal. The secondary flat metal-to-
metal seat controls the compression of the O-ring and also serves as a secondary seal should the
O-ring be damaged.
Standard O-ring materials include Viton1, BUNA-N, EPR2, TFE3, Silicone Rubber and Kalrez4.
Pressure and temperature limits of each material are shown on page 11. Other soft seat materials
such as Chemraz5 and Aflas6 are available on application.
Cap, Lifting Lever and Spindle Interchangeability
All Crosby JOS-E and JBS-E relief valves use a threaded spindle and drilled and tapped bonnet
which permits easy cap or lifting lever conversions, with maximum standardization and
interchangeability of parts. In addition, standard cap and lifting lever designs can be used with
in-line test devices.

Styles JOS-E and JLT-JOS-E conventional pressure relief valves

Crosby Styles JOS-E and JLT-JOS-E are the standard conventional relief valve designs for
applications when the discharge is to the atmosphere or when the discharge is to a low pressure
exhaust system designed to contain the process fluid. Valves subject to flashing fluids may require
a balanced bellows type valve (see page 6).

This exceptionally rugged design features a high guiding surface ratio, corrosion resistant trim,
upgraded materials of construction and several other design improvements to ensure ease of
maintenance as well as a greater degree of parts interchangeability.

For liquid service applications, Style JLT-JOS-E relief valves provide stable operating performance
using the widely industry recognized liquid trim design patented by Crosby. The disc holder in the
liquid trim design has been engineered to allow the valve to achieve full lift at 10% overpressure
without valve chatter.

Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E balanced bellows construction

Crosby Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E are pressure relief valves incorporating a bellows which is
balanced to minimize the effect of back pressure on the performance characteristics. The balanced
bellows design offsets the effects of variable back pressure on valve set pressure. The balanced
bellows valve can also handle applications involving high built-up back pressure.

Additionally, the bellows serves to isolate the guide, spindle, spring and other parts contained in
the bonnet chamber from corrosive fluids or media such as a highly viscous fluid or slurry which
could render the relief valve inoperative.

For liquid service applications, Crosby offers Style JLT-JBS-E relief valves.
The standard bellows assembly of the Crosby Style JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E threads onto the disc
holder with a bellows tailpiece and gasket. A welded bellows attachment is available as an option.

The JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E bellows and bellows flange are supplied in Inconel 625 as standard
material for improved durability, corrosion resistance and service life.

 JOS-E, JBS-E,JLT-JOS-E, JLT-JBS-E Pressure Relief Valve

Crosby Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E balanced bellows valves with supplementary
back pressure balancing piston
Styles JBS-BP-E and JLT-JBS-BP-E are a modification to the Crosby bellows pressure relief valve
designed and tested in collaboration with engineers of one of the worlds leading petroleum
companies. This adaptation provides additional assurance of safe performance in the event of
bellows failure on installations having discharge manifold systems where back pressures (constant
or variable) are present.
The Crosby bellows pressure relief valve (Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E) was especially developed
for service under back pressure conditions. The balanced area bellows counteracts back pressure
effects. However, in case of a broken or ruptured bellows, the valve would perform in the manner
of a standard valve without bellows. Introduction of the Supplementary Back Pressure Balancing
Piston guarantees full performance characteristics of the valve until necessary replacement of the
bellows can be made. This design, illustrated on the right, thus affords double protection.
Unless compensated for, the effects of back pressure may cause (1) a change in the opening
pressure, (2) a decrease in valve capacity, and (3) valve performance to become unstable at higher
back pressure. Use of the bellows valve with supplementary balancing piston maintains the
balancing effect even after bellows failure and in such event would allow the valve to function in
essentially the same manner as with the bellows intact. However, the bonnet of the valve must be
vented in order to insure proper functioning of the valve. The vent also serves for a tell-tale in case
of a ruptured or broken bellows.

Design
The auxiliary balancing piston is incorporated in the basic bellows valve,
modified to include the piston (5B) and the cylinder (17) which is part of the
disc holder. The guiding clearances are held to a minimum and, in addition,
grooves in the piston form a labyrinth seal to reduce flow between the piston
and cylinder. Thus, in the event of a bellows failure, the leakage of fluid to
atmosphere is kept to a minimum.
