Safety Relief Valves SV80H, but does not replace the expertise and experience required for the execution of repair and maintenance of valves. Classifications applicable to the identification of the relevant parts of the model are defined in SV80H drawings on page 5.

4.8 Relief Pressure It is the pressure at which the valve relieves the maximum capacity for which was dimensio- ned. It is equal to the opening pressure plus overpressure. 4.9 Overpressure The pressure increase over the set pressure of the relieving device. Overpressure is expres- sed in pressure units or as a percentage of set pressure.
4.17 Simmer The audible or visible escape of compressible fluid between the seat and disc of a pressure relief valve which may occur at an inlet static pressure below the set pressure prior to opening. 4.18 Chatter Abnormal condition characterized by rapid openings and closings in succession, causing serious damage to the valve.

NORMAL LEVEL LIQUID FIG. 02 It is recommended that valves be inspected prior to installation. Calibration and seat tightness should be verified, for this, a suitable testing bench with compressed air or inert gas and water shall be used. The tests shall be performed by qualified professionals, in the presence of an equipment inspector.

STOP VALVE VESSEL VESSEL FIG. 03 • Header nozzle corners must be rounded to a radius of not less than 1/4 of the opening diameter. • The safety and relief valve inlet should not be positioned at the end of a horizontal pipe in which there is normally no flow.

• The calculation of reaction force during valve relief is responsibility of the designer of the vessel and / or piping. Spirax Sarco can provide this information only as technical assistance and does not assume any responsibility for its application.
• External loads resulting from support systems and poorly designed piping may be the cause of excessive stresses and distortion in the valve and inlet pipe. The accumulation of stress may cause the valve to malfunction or leak. • Vibrations in the inlet piping systems may cause leaks, premature wear of certain parts of the valve and / or pipe failure by fatigue.
This is especially recommended for long pipelines. 7. Maintenance and Testing • SV80H valves model can be easily disassembled for inspection, maintenance or parts repla- cement. • The period for maintenance of each valve shall meet at least the requirements of NR13 Standard for the protected equipment;...

7.1.3 Note the dimension A, as shown in Figure 06, this information will be necessary to position the adjusting screw (24) when reassembling the valve. FIG. 06 7.1.4 Remove the lock screw (04) of the blowdown ring (08) and the gasket (03). If the blowdown (2.13) needs to be restored after reassembly, the position of the blowdown ring relative to the disc holder must be observed.

7.1.10 Remove the guide from the disc holder. 7.1.11 In balanced valves, remove the bellows (14) from the disc holder. The bellows is attached to the disc holder by screw thread. Using a 3 or 4 clamps mandrel, attach the bellows skirt ring to the mandrel (Fig.
Page 17
7.1.15 Remove the nozzle (06) from the body (01). The nozzle is mounted to the body by right-hand threads. Using a 3 or 4 clamps mandrel, hold the nozzle in the mandrel and loosen it from the body using a bar or pipe (Figure 07) and rotating the body in an counterclockwise direction.

7.3 Inspection Carefully inspect each internal valve component, noting any defects such as cracks, corrosion, ex- cessive wear or other mechanical defects. For the following parts some details must be observed: 7.3.1 Nozzle (06) Look for cuts, nicks or other damage on the seating surface. The threads of the blo- wdown ring and of fixation to the body must be in good condition without abrasions, tears or other damage.

7.3.2 Disc (09) Look for cuts, nicks or other damage on the seating surface. Check the disc for defects such as cracks (w/ dye penetrant) and/or severe corrosion. The disc can be re-machined, if necessary, up to the dimension A minimum (Figure 10) shown in Table 03. Dimension C should be redone when the disc is re-machined.
Page 22
7.3.5 Guide (17) Inspect the guide inside diameter for galling, and make sure the inside surface is smooth and there is no corrosion on the gasket sealing areas. If some imperfection is found, the surfaces can be polished with emery cloth. If it is badly damaged, the guide should be replaced.

7.4 Lapping SV80H valves have its seating surfaces (nozzle and disc) lapped in an automatic lapping machi- ne, which ensures the best tightness characteristics. In maintenance services, where de lapping machine is not available, a cast iron block or another perfectly flat surface (e.g. glass) can be used, performing lapping according to the conventional method (Figure 11).
Page 24
7.5 Assembly SV80H valves can be easily reassembled, without the need of any special tools. Make sure that the internal parts are clean, especially the seating surfaces and the guided parts. Replace the gaskets. Use a lubricant with anti-seize properties in all threads and bearing surfaces.
