INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Scope This document is used for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a Mercer Valve Co., Inc. 9100 Series pressure relief valve. This document should be read and understood before the valve is installed, put into service, or maintained. Failure to do so can result in improper operation that could result in damage to equipment or affect the safety of individuals around the equipment.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Definitions Accumulation is the amount of pressure increase above the MAWP of the system that is allowed. Accumulation is set from the applicable codes.
Page 6
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Over Pressure is the amount of pressure increase above the set pressure allowed for the pressure relief valve to achieve full lift and full flow. Set pressure plus over pressure should never exceed MAWP plus accumulation, but they will often be equal.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Handling and Shipping Mercer Valve Co., Inc. produces a very durable pressure relief valve. Even though these valves are able to take some abuse, it is recommended that they are handled and shipped with care. This will help prevent damage prior to their installation.
The protectors should also seal the openings so that foreign materials cannot ingress. PRVs are usually stored vertically to keep parts aligned, however, this isn’t required for Mercer’s PRVs. Although vertical storage can help with initial startup in certain circumstances, these valves may be stored horizontally.
Before installation, the valve should be visually inspected for any damage that occurred during shipping and storage. If any damage is found, do not install and immediately contact Mercer Valve Co., Inc.
Page 10
The PRV should be oriented in a vertical position with its inlet pointing downwards and its outlet pointing in a horizontal direction. Mercer Valve Co., Inc. must be contacted to ensure proper operation if the valve cannot be installed in this orientation.
The built-up backpressure still cannot exceed the allowable overpressure. When greater built-up or variable superimposed backpressure exists, a 9100 Series valve may not be suitable and Mercer Valve Co. should be consulted prior to installation.
Page 12
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Extreme caution is required regarding the outlet piping if liquid can be present. The presence of liquid can increase the required force the valve needs to open and this alters the actual relief pressure.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Operation The Mercer Valve 9100 Series is an ASME Section VIII, Division 1 certified PRV for gas/ vapor and liquid applications. It has a set pressure definition for both gas/ vapor and liquid applications of a “POP.” When the valve reaches set pressure, the disk will open, creating a “POP” sound. The valve could exhibit simmer or warn before its set pressure but this is not considered the set point.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Maintenance For dependable performance, PRVs must be maintained regularly. Mercer Valve Co., Inc. recommends its PRVs are inspected and tested annually. After the valve has been installed and a service history has been established, the testing and inspection frequency may be adjusted. Some guidelines for testing frequencies can be found in NB-23, API 576, and API 598.
Page 15
When the start date is not specified, the following is what Mercer Valve Co. recommends for its products, which will clarify this ambiguity should the user/ owner of the PRV adopt it to their standards. This recommendation is irrespective of the warranty Mercer Valve Co.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Inspections Pressure relief valves are used to help with safe operation of the system that they are installed on. They are designed to stop excessive over pressure scenarios. More information on causes of over pressure can be found in API 521.

MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Seal Wire Pressed Security Seal Figure 3: Typical Cap and Seal Wire Flanged Connections – The flanges should be checked for wear, such as pitting, and any reduction in width that would cause improper sealing and reduction in pressure rating.
The procedures for testing set pressure are as follows: 1. Check the set pressure definition from NB-18. For Mercer 9100 Series valves, a crisp “pop” is the definition of set pressure for both gas/ vapor and liquid valves.
If the valve has a CDTP, the leak test pressure will be below the CDTP in lieu of the set pressure. Mercer Valve Co., Inc. should be contacted for proper leak pressure and specification for the valve. In the tests, the pressure is held steady for a length of time and the valve is observed for any leakage.
Page 20
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Flow gauges can also be used to check for leakage. These tests are similar to the API 527 test except a flow gauge is attached to the outlet instead of a cup of water.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Test Equipment Testing and inspections can be performed in multiple locations. They can be performed onsite in place (in situ testing), onsite on a mobile test unit, or offsite in a shop or test facility. Each environment offers its own advantages and disadvantages.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Figure 6: Picture of Typical In Situ Testing b) Offsite Testing Offsite testing allows for the most thorough and accurate testing and inspection. The valves are removed from the units and brought to a shop.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL For liquid testing, the test bench, at a minimum, should have enough volume to perform 5 to 10 consecutive set pressure tests before the test stand has to be refilled with liquid. Approximately 2 (60 liters) of volume is required for most valves.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL d) Test Gauges When testing the set pressure or leak checking, it is recommended that two pressure gauges are used. This enables quick identification if they are reading incorrectly. If the gauges are not reading identical values within their respective tolerances, it is an indication that at least one gauge is inaccurate and both should be checked to make sure they are calibrated correctly.
MERCER VALVE COMPANY, INC. 9100 SERIES DIRECT SPRING OPERATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 10. Tester Qualifications Only qualified individuals should perform PRV tests and repairs. They should be trained to test and calibrate pressure relief valves. They should understand how to properly operate the equipment and know the hazards involved.
