  • Page 2 VALVULAS NACIONAL, S. A. recommends you read this Instructions Manual carefully, where you can find the minimum precautions to be taken into consideration before the installation of the safety valves to ensure their correct operation. VALVULAS NACIONAL, S. A. guarantees its safety valves against all kind of manufacture flaws for a 12-month period from their installation or maximum 18 months after their delivery, whichever occurs first.
  • Page 3 MAIN DEFINITIONS (UNE-EN ISO 4126-1) Safety valve: Valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the fluid concernet, discharges a quantity of the fluid so as to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and which is designed to re-close and prevent further flow of fluid after normal pressure conditions of service have been restored.

    spring and increase the blow-down, which means that it is more difficult for the valve to close after it has opened. Before increasing the set pressure of an installed valve, make sure that the new pressure is within the nominal pressure range for which it has been designed.

    6 - MANTEINANCE If the valve has been operating on an installation with fluids classified as dangerous or contaminant, it must be decontaminated before it is touched. It is extremely important to follow the disassembly instructions in order as follows, otherwise it may be dangerous for the worker who manipulates the valve, owing to the spring stress.

    c) It is essential to make sure that the valve is not insulated from the earth connection of the installation, since the different layers of paint resulting from its maintenance create a plastic insulation on the valve that favours the accumulation of static electricity which, if not eliminated correctly, can produce radiant discharges that could lead to ignition.
