74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ SAFETY SIGNS AND LABELS Signs or labels are included throughout this document. These signs or labels communicate the following messages: • The level of hazard seriousness • The nature of the hazard • The consequence of human or product interaction with the hazard •...
• Never modify or change the valves, especially when they are under pressure. It is essential that you inform Trillium Flow Technologies™ in ALL instances if any machining of parts is to be considered. Deviation from critical dimensions can adversely affect the performance of a safety valve.
Trillium Flow Technologies warrants that its products (including performance) and work will meet the specifications of the customer’s Purchase Order. If any issue arises whilst operating the product, the customer should inform Trillium Flow Technologies as quickly as possible. A return to the original plant should then be considered in order for Trillium Flow Technologies to inspect the product.
74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 5 TERMINOLOGY For the purpose of this manual, the following abbreviations, definitions and terms apply ACCUMULATION The pressure increase over the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel, expressed in pressure units or as a percentage of maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) or design pressure.
The recommended practices indicated within this manual must be respected to prevent any potential damage to goods. It is important that all points of advice are followed closely and are implemented by suitably qualified personnel. Trillium Flow Technologies disclaims all responsibility for maintenance operations which may be...
• Above than +5% adjustment can cause permanent deformation to the spring. • Below than -5% adjustment can cause the pilot not to open fully. • For more than +/- 5% adjustment you must contact Trillium Flow Technologies Sarasin-RSBD Aftersales Department.

74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 74LP SERIES BASICS 7.1 DESCRIPTION Pilot operated pressure relief valves dedicated to LNG and FLNG installations but can also be used in any moderated temperature application. The nozzle has been designed to have the best flow coefficient possible.
74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 8 INSTALLATION 8.1 GENERAL DANGER WARNING CAUTION CAUTION Be aware that the Never face the outlet of a Protect against high noise Helmets and gloves must environment might be valve when it is levels which occur during be worn to prevent any extremely hot.
74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 8.3 OUTLET PIPING The safety valve must not support either the weight or the installation stresses of the outlet piping. The backpressure should be reduced by using outlet piping with a nominal diameter of at least equal to the nominal diameter of the safety valve outlet flange, together with large radius elbow.
74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 8.5 OPTIONS REMOTE SENSE • Safety valve will respond to actual system pressure conditions. • Eliminates undesirable cycling due to excessive inlet pressure losses. • Improves safety, under adverse operating conditions. This optional feature permits the pilot to sense system pressure at a location that most accurately reflects the actual operating pressure of the protected system.

• In-service verification of set pressure. • Simplifies the periodic testing of safety valves. Trillium Flow Technologies pilot operated safety valves may be readily tested for verification of set pressure during normal system operation with this option. Its connection is 1/4” NPT. The customer furnishes a pressure source, plus a pressure-reducing valve and a test gauge for the portable field testing system.

74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ • Back flow preventer • Prevents accidental reverse flow through safety valve. This option prevents a pilot operated safety valve from reverse flow, when sufficient vacuum is present at the inlet flange. The backflow preventer also prevents reverse flow when the pressure at the outlet flange (superimposed back pressure) is greater than the current system pressure.
74LP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SARASIN-RSBD ™ 8.6 OUTDOOR INSTALLATION A safety valve which is installed outdoors must be protected against any inclement environmental conditions to ensure that it will provide the highest level of safety and will operate in the most effective & responsive manner. If the safety valve is exposed to hazardous weather conditions, ingress of dirt or other foreign matter or any extremes of temperature conditions, please ensure that: •...
No particular tool is required for the maintenance operations on the main valve of the 76 series valve. Regarding the pilot, a tool kit is recommended to ease the lapping and the re-assembly of disc in the pilot body. Maintenance may be performed without taking the valve off line. Please contact Trillium Flow Technologies SarasinRSBD aftersales team in the event of any uncertainty.

Such work must be carried out by a skilled technician. The Trillium Flow Technologies Group offers trainings and education programmes to cover all areas of maintenance and repair. Please consult your nearest Trillium Flow Technologies representative for more details. To perform basic maintenance tasks within the shortest possible timeframe, it is recommended that class “A” spare parts are purchased at the same time as new valves.
