Valves for safety

October 2007 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

The Spirax Sarco SV615 spring loaded full lift safety valve range has been designed to protect against excess pressure across a broad spectrum of industrial processes.

Suitable for use with steam, air and water, the safety valves provide a comprehensive and competitive solution to most applications, including the protection of steam or hot water boilers, generators, vessels, receivers and air compressors, autoclaves, downstream or pressure reducing valves and for most general industrial applications.

The SV615 is simple in design and available with inlet sizes of DN15 to DN50 with the option of a sanitary clamp inlet connection on sizes DN15 to DN25. All valves have a closed bonnet with either lifting lever or tamper-proof cap. An optional soft seat is available in nitrile, EPDM or Viton.

Where frequent washdown occurs or aesthetic appearance is a consideration, this product can also be supplied with an electroless nickel plated (ENP) finish to the body, lever housing (or sealed cap) and lever.

By investing in safety, a company's most valued asset - people - are secure in the knowledge that their safety has been put first; it also safeguards the plant against major damage from excess pressure and ensures continued efficient operation against major shutdowns, which interferes with production, potentially losing customers.

The SV615 is approved by SAFed TAS (Royal and Sun Alliance) and meets the requirements of EN ISO 4126:2004 and also of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and is marked accordingly.

The quality of shut-off tightness is a critical feature of any safety valve and each Spirax Sarco safety valve is tested to ensure that the integrity of shut-off complies with the requirements of ANSI/API STD 527-1992.
