How to Use This Catalog
Anderson Greenwood is the established and consistent leader in pilotoperated, pressure relief valve technology.More than three decades of pilot valve experience enables us to produce, supply,and support safety relief valves that:
• assure leak-free system operation veryclose to PRV set pressure
• relieve consistently within code tolerances
• reseat bubble-tight after a short andstable blowdown
• operate through many relief cycleswithout maintenance
This catalog is divided into three primaryparts, which provide step-by-step instruc-tions that make it easy for you to select avalve type, determine the proper orificearea, and order the valve.
Part 1, Selection, helps you determine the type of valve that best suits your application.
Part 2, Sizing, provides the informationyou need to choose the correct valve ori-fice area. (Sizing is actually part of valveselection, but since sizing is such an im-portant factor in selection, a separatesection is provided to help you make theproper choice.)
Part 3, Ordering, explains how to selectand order the specific model number, afteryou have chosen the appropriate valvetype and size.

Higher Maximum Set PressuresAnderson Greenwood’s POPRVs are ableto operate at considerably higher set pres-sures than is possible with conventionalSRVs. In some cases one POPRV can re-place five conventional SRVs therebyconsiderably reducing capital and installation costs.
Lower Height ProfileBecause the Anderson GreenwoodPOPRV does not use a spring to hold the main valve seat closed, considerableheight savings are achieved in the valvedesign. The same pilot valve is used for all main valve sizes providing significantheight saving particularly on larger andhigher pressure valves. This enables thePOPRVs to be used in situations wherespace is at a premium.
Weight SavingsAs valve size and set pressure increases,a larger spring is needed to keep the seat of a conventional SRV closed — increasing the weight of the valve. Signifi-cant weight savings are provided by theAnderson Greenwood POPRV, whichuses system pressure via the pilot valve to maintain seat tightness. These weightsavings allow cost reductions on plantconstruction and, in particular, on offshoreoil and gas platforms.

Series 200 Pop Action Safety Valve
Anderson Greenwood’s Series 200 popaction, safety valve, with non-flowing pilot,provides system overpressure protectionyou can count on. Since its 1966 introduc-tion, it has been continuously refined andremains the standard against which allother pilot operated valves are compared.This valve is well suited for gas, vapor,and most mixed phase services, includingdirty and/or wet services. The Series 200is available with effective orifice areas of0.110 through 38.96 inch2 [0.710 through251.3 cm2], valve inlet sizes 1-inchthrough 8-inch [25 mm through 200 mm],set pressures from 25 to over 6000 psig[1.72 to over 413.7 barg], and continuousservice temperatures from -423°F to+500°F [-253°C to +260°C].
Features and Benefits• Balanced Design. Proper valve opera-
tion and lift are unaffected by backpressure. Costly and fragile metal bel-lows are not required.
• Ease of Adjustment. Adjustment forset pressure allows accurate and de-pendable setting. Externally adjustableblowdown, reducing costly removal ofvalve or system downtime.
• ASME Section VIII Code Stamp.Certified National Board capacities forgas service assures user of indepen-dent third party flow rate verification.
• Reduced Maintenance Cost. Softseats greatly extend service life, mak-ing costly and time consuming metalseat lapping unnecessary.
• Suited for Dirty or Wet Service.Non-flowing pilot minimizes entrance ofdirt and formation of hydrates in thepilot. Due to low velocities within thepilot and supply tubing, most particleswill drop out upstream of pilot inletscreen. Optional cartridge type pilot fil-ter is available for extremely dirtyservices.
• Increased System Output. Becauseof total valve tightness to at least 95percent of set pressure, the systemcan be operated nearer set pressurewithout valve leakage, resulting ingreater system throughput.
• Unique Field Test Capability. Thisoption allows accurate set pressureverification with valve in service. Nosystem isolation block valve or rupturedisc required.
• Vertical Pilot Mounting. Ensures consistent set pressure and blowdown,as contrasted to erratic, horizontallymounted pilots.
• Reduced Product Loss and Pollution.Soft seats for premium tightness be-fore and after relief cycles.
• Rugged Bracket Pilot Mounting.Extremely rigid mounting protectsagainst vibration and careless han-dling. Shake table proven.
• Full Lift at Set Pressure. AllowsD.O.T. installation to be set higher than Maximum Allowable OperatingPressure (MAOP), resulting in in-creased system throughput.

OperationIn the normal closed position, full systempressure is sensed at the pressure pick-up in the main valve inlet. This pressure is transmitted through the pilot and intothe dome (volume above the main valvepiston). Because the piston seal area isgreater than the main seat sealing area,the net force on the piston is downward,keeping the valve tightly closed. Thehigher the system pressure, the greaterthe downward force on the piston —exactly the opposite of direct spring operated valves.
When the pilot senses set pressure, its re-lief seat snaps open and the blowdownseat snaps closed simultaneously, ventingthe dome pressure through the pilot reliefseat to atmosphere. This allows the mainvalve to open fully at set pressure. Theblowdown seat is held tightly closed duringthe relief cycle until the desired systemblowdown is achieved, at which time theblowdown seat snaps open and the reliefseat snaps closed simultaneously. Thisfully repressures the dome to systempressure and closes the main valve.
The valve reseat pressure is dependentupon the lift of the spindle off the reliefseat. Higher spindle lift results in morespring compression and a higher spindleclosing force stored in the pilot spring. Thehigher the lift, the shorter the blowdown(higher valve reseat pressure). The spin-dle lift and thus blowdown are externallyadjustable by raising or lowering the blow-down assembly of the pilot, thus changingthe spindle travel.

OperationWith no system pressure, the pilot inletseat is open and the outlet seat is closed.As pressure is admitted to the main valveinlet, it enters the pilot through a filterscreen. Pressure is then transmittedthrough passages in the feedback piston,past the inlet seat, into the main valvedome, which causes the main valve pistonto remain closed.
As system pressure increases and ap-proaches valve set pressure, it actsupward on the sense diaphragm, with thefeedback piston also moving upward toclose the inlet seat. This seals in the mainvalve dome pressure, since the outlet seatis also closed. A small, further increase insystem pressure opens the outlet seat,partially venting the main valve domepressure. This reduced dome pressureacts on the unbalanced feedback piston toreduce feedback piston lift, tending to‘lock in’ the dome pressure. Thus, at anystable inlet pressure, there will be no pilotflow (i.e., zero leakage).
As inlet pressure rises above set pres-sure, dome pressure reduction will providemodulating action of the main valve pistonproportional to the process upset. Thespool/feedback piston combination willmove, responding to system pressure, to alternately allow pressure in the mainvalve dome to increase or decrease. Thismoves the main valve piston to the exactlift that will keep system pressure constantat the required flow. Full main valve lift,and therefore full capacity, is achievedwith relatively little overpressure. As system pressure decreases below setpressure, the feedback piston movesdownward and opens the inlet seat to admit system pressure to the dome. Thiscloses the main valve. Due to the ex-tremely small pilot flow, the pilot ongas/vapor valves normally discharges to atmosphere through a weather and bug-proof fitting. Pilots for liquid service valveshave their discharge piped to the mainvalve outlet.

The Anderson Greenwood Series 500 is aunique soft seated safety relief valve de-signed to handle higher temperatures. Itwas created with a specific design objec-tive: to decrease the leakage associatedwith metal-seated safety relief valvesunder extreme operating temperature con-ditions.
The result is a modulating, soft-seated, pilot operated valve offering premiumtightness with the ability to handle temper-atures from -65°F to 515°F [-54°C to268°C] and a set pressure range of 15 to 720 psig [1.03 to 49.6 barg].
The soft seat in the Series 500 main valveis more resistant to particulate damagethan a metal seat, has a longer servicelife, and can be quickly replaced while thevalve body remains installed in the line.
Its unique design enables the main valveto be tight at pressures up to set point.After relieving and reseating, it stays bub-ble-tight, cycle after cycle. Applications forthe Series 500 include hot water, steam(ASME section VIII Unfired PressureVessels), hot hydrocarbon vapors or liq-uids, and corrosive services.
Features and Benefits• Reduced Product Loss and
Pollution. Soft seats for premium tight-ness before and after relief cycles.
• All Teflon® Soft Goods. All seats andseals are Teflon® providing additionalchemical compatibility with the ladingfluid.
• Increased System Output. Becauseof total valve tightness to at least 95percent of set pressure, the systemcan be operated nearer to set pressurewithout valve leakage. The result isgreater system production capability.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs.Resilient seats greatly extend servicelife. Costly and time consuming metalseat lapping is unnecessary.
• Balanced Design. Proper valve opera-tion and lift are unaffected by backpressure. Costly and fragile metal bel-lows are not required.
• ASME Section VIII Stamp. CertifiedNational Board capacities for steam,gases, and liquids assures user of in-dependent third party flow rateverification.
• Unique Field Test Capability. Allowsaccurate set pressure verification withvalve in service. No system isolationvalve or rupture disc is required. Singleindicator button is available.
• Reduced Noise. Modulating actionminimizes flow and resultant noise during normal system upset reducingnoise abatement costs.
• Ease of Adjustment. Adjustment forset pressure allows accurate and de-pendable setting.

Series 500 Soft Seated Valve
OperationIn normal operation, the system pressureacts on the area contained by the mainvalve seat at the bottom of the free-float-ing differential area piston and on the topof the piston. Since the top of the piston is larger than the bottom (seat area), thereis a large downward net force holding thepiston closed. Under static conditions, theseating force increases as the systempressure increases and approaches setpoint.
When the set pressure is reached, the pilot opens and partially depressurizes thedome. This reduces the force on the top ofthe piston to the point where the upwardforce on the seat area can overcome thereduced downward loading. This causesthe piston to lift, resulting in modulatedflow through the main valve.
When the relief demand has been satis-fied, the pilot closes, full system pressureis diverted to the dome, and the pistonmoves downward, closing the main valve.
A patented, pressure responsive pistondrag system in the larger Series 500valves eliminates resonant chatter and the severe valve and/or piping damage it can cause. The wedge ring creates apressure-actuated sliding friction force between the piston and liner, preventingresonant chatter.

Series 700 Operation
OperationSteam ServiceIn the closed position, when operatingbelow set point, the valve internal pressureis equal to the system pressure and the pis-ton is pressure balanced.
System pressure is directed to three keyareas of the valve:
1. The Dome, via the dome charging ori-fice;
2. The Pilot, via the integral pressure sens-ing connection and the external pilot inletsensing line; and
3. The Unloader, via the sensing line con-nections from the pilot dome and theintegral sensing connection from thedome through the cap.
The seating force is produced by systempressure acting on the internal exposeddisc surface area. As system pressure in-creases, the seating force increasesproviding maximum seat tightness up to setpoint when the valve opens.
When system pressure reaches set pointand overcomes the pilot spring force, thepilot pops open and sets into motion fourkey reactions:
1. The normally open reseat piston movesinto full lift and closes against the blow-down seat preventing further systempressure from flowing through the pilot.This is the non-flow pilot feature.
2. Unloader dome pressure is ventedthrough the pilot vent to atmosphere. Withthe internal pilot pressure relieved, thepilot spring is now sensing system over-pressure in the pilot inlet sensing line viathe spindle-disc-spacer rod-reseat piston.
3. The venting of unloader dome pressurecreates a pressure imbalance whichopens the unloader piston. Main domepressure is now being vented into thevalve outlet, and the pressure drop back-seats the drain plunger, preventingsystem pressure from charging the dome.

4. The depressurization of the piston domepressure produces a pressure imbalancewhich moves the piston/disc assemblyoff the nozzle seat. As the media beginsto exit through the valve outlet, thedownstream disc surface area is sub-jected to system overpressure and thepiston/disc assembly goes into full lift in-stantaneously.
When system overpressure has been fullyrelieved, the pilot spring closes the pilotdisc onto the relief seat. The valve nowgoes into the blowdown phase and setsinto motion the above mentioned four keyreactions in reverse:
1.The pilot disc-spacer rod pushes the re-seat piston off the blowdown seat andthe internals of the pilot spring-spindle-disc assembly are once again sensingsystem pressure.
2.With the pilot closed and the pilot ventisolated, system pressure is now di-rected to the unloader dome.
3.Recharging the unloader dome causesthe unloader piston to close and stopsthe depressurization of the piston domepressure.
4.System pressure is now charging thepiston dome via the dome charging ori-fice. The pressure imbalance is nowclosing the piston/disc assembly.
With the main disc closed and outlet pres-sure on the disc eliminated, the systempressure acting on the internal exposedarea of the disc once again re-establishesmaximum seat tightness.
Air, Gas or Vapor ServiceFor air, gas and vapor service, the assem-bly of the main valve and pilot is modifiedas follows:
1.The unloader is deleted and the pilotdome connected directly to cap.
2.The unloader discharge port in the valveoutlet is plugged.
3.The dome charging orifice in the pistonis deleted.
4.A snubber is installed at the pilot inlet todampen system pulsations.
The operation of the main valve and pilotin air, gas and vapor service is the sameas the steam valve.
The pilot is able to vent and depressurizethe main dome with sufficient speed toprovide proper opening and closing perfor-mance without the use of an unloader.
For mixed phase flow, consult the factoryto determine if unloader is required.

The Series 800 modulating valve utilizesthe most advanced design in pilot operatedvalves. The non-flowing, modulating pilotcan be set at pressures up to 6170 psig[425.52 barg]. Under these process condi-tions, the pilot and main valve can be tightup to 98 percent of set pressure.
Since the pilot is modulating, the mainvalve lifts proportionally according to de-mand, restricting product loss to only thatwhich needs to be relieved to prevent theprocess pressure from exceeding thecode allowance. The pilot provides stablelift even on hard liquid systems due to itsunique trim. The 800 Series can also beused in gases or mixed phase lading flu-ids, including dirty and/or wet services.
The Series 800 valve is available with thefollowing: effective orifice areas of 0.110through 9.489 in2 [0.710 through 61.21cm2], valve inlet sizes 1-inch through 4-inch [25 mm through 100 mm], set pres-sures between 1481 and 6170 psig[102.13 and 425.52 barg], and continuoustemperatures from -40°F to +400°F [-40°Cto + 205°C].
Features and Benefits• High Set Pressure Capability.
Provides modulating, non-flowing pilotvalve performance to 6170 psig[425.42 barg].
• Unique Field Test Capability. Allowsaccurate set pressure verification withvalve in service with minimal amount of test gas.
• Reduced Product Loss andPollution. Soft seats for premium tight-ness before and after relief cycles.Modulating action relieves minimumproduct to prevent overpressure.
• ASME Section VIII Code Stamp.Certified National Board capacities forboth gas and liquid service assuresuser of third party flow rate verification.
• Suited for Dirty or Wet Service.Non-flowing pilot minimizes entrance ofdirt and formation of hydrates in pilot.Due to low velocities within the pilotand supply tubing, most particles willdrop out upstream of pilot inlet screen.Optional cartridge type pilot filter isavailable for extremely dirty services.
• Rugged Bracket Pilot Mounting.Extremely rigid mounting protectsagainst vibration and careless han-dling.
• Reduced Noise. Modulating actionminimizes flow and resultant noise during normal system upset, reducingnoise abatement costs.
• Increased System Output. Becauseof valve tightness to 98 percent of setpressure, the system can be operatednearer set pressure without valve leak-age, resulting in greater systemthroughput.
• Ease of Adjustment. Single adjust-ment for set pressure allows accurateand dependable setting.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs. Softseats greatly extend service life, mak-ing costly and time-consuming metalseat lapping unnecessary.
• Balanced Design. Proper valve operation and lift are unaffected by back pressure. Costly and fragile metalbellows are not required.

OperationWith no system pressure, the pilot inletseat is open and the outlet seat is closed.As pressure is admitted to the main valveinlet, it enters the pilot through a filterscreen. Pressure is then transmittedthrough passages in the feedback piston,past the inlet seat, into the main valvedome, which causes the main valve pistonto remain closed.
As system pressure increases and ap-proaches valve set pressure, it actsupward on the sense O-ring seal, with the feedback piston moving upward toclose the inlet seat. This seals in the mainvalve dome pressure, since the outlet seatis also closed. A small, further increase insystem pressure opens the outlet seat,partially venting the main valve domepressure. This reduced dome pressureacts on the unbalanced feedback piston to reduce feedback piston lift, tending to‘lock in’ the dome pressure. Thus, at anystable inlet pressure, there will be no pilotflow (i.e., zero leakage).
As inlet pressure rises above set pres-sure, dome pressure reduction willprovide modulating action of the mainvalve piston proportional to the processupset. The spool/feedback piston combi-nation will move, responding to systempressure, to alternately allow pressure inthe main valve dome to increase or de-crease. This moves the main valve pistonto the exact lift that will keep system pres-sure constant at the required flow. Fullmain valve lift, and therefore full capacity,is achieved with relatively little overpres-sure. As system pressure decreasesbelow set pressure, the feedback pistonmoves downward and opens the inlet seatto admit system pressure to the dome.This closes the main valve. The pilot ex-haust is always piped to the main valveoutlet.

Valves are selected on the basis of theirability to meet an expected relieving con-dition, flowing a sufficient amount of fluidto prevent excessive pressure increase.This means that the size of the valve orifice must be calculated taking the required flow, performance characteris-tics, lading fluid properties, and otherfactors into consideration.
The sizing procedure presented utilizesthe recommended practice of API 520Part I. The valve orifice areas and nozzledischarge coefficients shown are effectivevalues in that they are not specific to aparticular valve type. The use of theseeffective orifice areas and effectivenozzle discharge coefficients will al-ways allow for the selection of a valveorifice area that will meet or exceed therequired capacity.
The calculation of the actual certifiedvalve capacity can be performed with theAnderson Greenwood sizing software pro-gram enclosed in the catalog binder.

In addition to the beneficial features avail-able through the use of pilot operatedsafety valves, a variety of accessories andoptions are available to provide additionalfunctions. Some simplify the process ofperiodic testing, an important safety re-quirement today. Others assist in thesuccessful operation of the safety valveunder adverse or special applications.
Please refer to the options and acces-sories availability table on page 52. Onrequest, other options may be availablefor some models for special situations,such as position indicators, purge connec-tions, multiple pilots, differential pressuresensing, etc.
A. Field Test Connection:• In-service verification of set pressure.
• Simplifies the periodic testing of safetyvalves.
Anderson Greenwood pilot operatedsafety valves may be readily tested forverification of set pressure during normalsystem operation with this option. FieldTest Connection is an option on mostmodels. The customer furnishes a pres-sure source, plus a test gauge andmetering valve for the portable field test-ing system. When test pressure is slowlyadmitted through a metering valve, thepilot and the main valve dome are pres-surized, simulating an increased systempressure.
When set pressure is reached (pop actionpilots only), the pilot will actuate. This ac-tuation pressure may then be comparedwith the nameplate value. Dependingupon the current system pressure, and the characteristics of the specific pilot, the main valve may also briefly open andclose, or partially open and close, provid-ing verification that the main valve pistonis free to move.
When the Field Test Connection is usedwith the modulating type pilots, the pilotwill begin cracking at a pressure justbelow the nameplate setting. In order toaccurately establish the set pressure, an-other accessory, the Field Test Indicator,is recommended.
B. Field Test Indicator:• Simplifies verification of modulating
pilot set pressures.
• Only one test connection and pressuregauge required.
This is a mechanical indicator, availableonly for modulating pilots, allowing for the accurate verification of set pressure.Since the set pressure of all modulatingsafety valves in this catalogue are definedas the point when the dome pressure isreduced to 70 percent of set pressurewhen system pressure reaches the name-plate setting, the indicator is implemented.This gives positive verification that setpressure has been reached. The verifica-tion process for modulating pilots requiresthis option, in addition to the Field TestConnection.
C. Manifold Dual Pilot:• In-Service Replacement of Pilot.
• Extended Outage Cycle. The MDP isavailable both as an option and as aretrofit kit. The dual cartridge pilots aremanifolded in a miniature safety selec-tor valve which allows for in-servicereplacement of the pilot without shut-ting the system down while maintainingfull system overpressure protection.Also, field test connection and manualblowdown are built into the manifold.

D. Backflow Preventer:• Prevents accidental reverse flow
through safety valve.
This option, sometimes called a ‘vacuumblock,’ prevents a pilot operated safetyvalve from reverse flow, when sufficientvacuum is present at the inlet flange. Thebackflow preventer also prevents reverseflow when the pressure at the outlet flange(superimposed back pressure) is greaterthan the current system pressure. Reverseflow will occur with any standard type ordesign of pilot operated safety valve, whensufficient reverse differential pressure exists. Reverse flow, should it be inducedby a reverse differential pressure, will beprevented by this option.
All backflow preventers operate by permit-ting the introduction of outlet pressure intothe dome of the main valve, thereby hold-ing the piston firmly onto the nozzle,overcoming the effect of a reverse differ-ential pressure across the safety valve.The option also includes a built-in provi-sion to prevent reverse flow through thepilot that would otherwise pass throughthe pilot supply line, back into the system.
A Backflow Preventer should be specifiedwhenever:
• A vacuum may be present at the inletconnection due to unusual operatingconditions or a temporary vacuum con-dition that may occur under startupconditions.
• The discharge of the safety valve isconnected to a downstream pressurevessel, where pressure may vary fromtime to time, in excess of the pressurein the upstream system.
• The discharge of multiple safety valvesis combined into a single manifold orvent system, creating superimposedback pressures in excess of the currentupstream system pressure.
E. Pilot Supply Filter:• Protects pilot from excessive particu-
late matter in flow stream.
This is a mechanical filter that is availablefor gas and liquid applications where thereis a possibility of large amounts of particu-late matter in the fluid stream. The filter is optional for liquid or gas service for anypilot model. The pilot supply filter will berigidly mounted to the main valve cap.
F. Pressure Spike Snubber:• Overcomes pressure ‘spikes’ in gas
systems, that would cause prematureactuation.
This option may be provided on the Series200 or 400 non-flowing type pilots, only on gas applications. The snubber is rec-ommended for use on pulsating gascompressor applications, where instanta-neous pressure values (pressure spikes)approach or exceed the set pressure andmay cause inadvertent valve actuation.The device acts as a pulsation dampener;consisting of a series of fixed orifices,combined with small volume chambersthat dampen the transient pressure rises.The average static system pressure is unaffected, so no change in set pressureis experienced with this option. The pres-sure spike snubber is compact and ismounted to the main valve cap. Pleasenote that it is to be applied only for gas applications.
For vapor applications, the Series 700non-flowing pilot is supplied with pressurespike snubber as standard.

G. Remote Pressure SenseConnection:
• 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 tosense system pressure at a location thatmost accurately reflects the actual operat-ing pressure of the protected system. A remote pressure sense connection eliminates the false system pressure indication that will occur during relievingconditions, due to pressure losses in theinlet piping to the safety valve. Most ap-plicable codes recommend that the inletpiping system be designed for a maximumanticipated pressure loss of 3 percent. Ifthis is not possible, the remote pressuresense connection should be specified.
Please note that the addition of a remotepilot sense line allows the pilot to correctlysense system pressure and to keep thevalve from rapid cycling or chattering.With remote sensing the piston type, pilotoperated safety valves described in thiscatalogue will remain stable against theeffects of high inlet pressure loss phe-nomena. However, relieving capacity willbe proportionately reduced wheneverthere is inlet pressure loss to the safetyvalve.
Please note that valves furnished for remote pilot sense, may be converted to integral sense, or vice versa, since the pressure pickup is installed in all instances, and the integral sense connec-tion is closed off with a removable 1/2-inchNPT threaded pipe plug.
H. Pilot Discharge Tubed to MainValve Outlet:
• Eliminates any local venting of fluidmedia from pilot.
This option is desirable when the safetyvalve is within a closed environment andeven the small amount of gas dischargedfrom the pilot is to be avoided. When liq-uid service is specified, the appropriatepilot should be chosen and the factorystandard will be to add this option.
I. Remote Valve Lift Indicator:• Provides remote signal to allow the
plant operator to know when a safetyvalve has operated.
This feature consists of a differential pres-sure switch, actuated when the mainvalve has been operated. The switch isadjusted to sense the difference betweenthe system pressure and the main valvedome pressure. Electrical indication isthen available to a remote location.Furnish full particulars on electrical poweravailable, the switch contact style and rat-ing, the type of enclosure and hazardrating. The switch will be mechanicallymounted to the main valve cap. Externalwiring enclosures are not normally fur-nished.

J. Manual Unloader:• Permits the safety valve to be opened
to depressurize the system.
• Acts as manual override to normalpressure setting, but has no effect onthe sealed pressure setting.
A manual unloader consists of a smallhand valve connected to the dome line ofthe main valve. Opening of the hand valvevents the dome pressure faster than it canbe recharged by the pilot supply. Sufficientdome pressure reduction results in pistonlift, due to unbalanced forces, simulatingpilot actuation. This option is used to allowthe safety valve to be used, along withother valves, for the emergency reductionof system pressure due to potential safetyhazards. When permitted, the manual un-loader may be substituted for a mechanicallift lever.
K. Pilot Lift Lever:• Permits manual test of safety valve
operation.
This feature is provided for those applica-tions where the mechanical lifting of thepilot is required for verification of valve operation. Lifting of the pilot spindle willpermit the main valve to lift when the sys-tem pressure is at least 75 percent ormore of set pressure. The pilot lift lever ispacked to prevent external leakage. Somesafety regulations and codes require thata lift lever be furnished for air, hot waterover 140°F [284°C] and steam applica-tions.
Remote Unloader:• Permits the safety valve to be remotely
opened to depressurize the system.
This is the same scheme as the manualunloader, except that the unloader valve isremotely operated. Either solenoid orpneumatic operation may be used. Pleasefurnish full particulars of the type of un-loader electro valve to be furnished, andthe desired valve action: normally open orclosed. For solenoid operation, specify thevoltage and current (AC or DC). Furnishthe frequency in Hertz for alternating cur-rent. The type of enclosure, such asexplosion proof, splash proof, corrosionresistant, etc., must also be specified forelectrical operators. Unless otherwisespecified, no separate wiring enclosure isfurnished.
If the remote unloader is supplied, it willbe mechanically mounted to the safetyvalve with the pressure connection to thedome line of the main valve. Venting willbe to the atmosphere through a weatherfitting.
NACE Option:• Essential option for sour gas service.
This is a material option to meet the stresscorrosion problems associated with sourgas service. The materials in both the pilotand main valve will meet the requirementsof NACE MR-01-75.

Outlet Flange Ratings
When pressure relief valves are used with discharge tailpipes or are piped todischarge headers, the PRV outlet flangerating must be selected based on thepressure at the flange during a relief cycleor other worst-case condition.
The valves listed in this catalogue showinlet/outlet flange combinations suitable
for valves discharging direct to the atmos-phere through a tailpipe with an L⁄D ratio of 15, set at the maximum, 100°F [38°C],inlet flange pressure rating or the pressure limits shown below. A tailpipe with a longradius, 90 degree elbow and 12-inch ofstraight pipe has a L⁄D ratio of approxi-mately 15.
1. Higher rated outlet flanges are available forhigher set pressures.
2. This limit is for steam only. Otherwise, themaximum set pressure is the same as forthe inlet flange rating.
Note: Pressure limits are for CS bodied valves.SS valve ratings are 97% of those shown.
