Low pressure safety valve
Low Pressure Safety Valve
A Low Pressure Safety Valve (LPSV) is designed to release excess pressure in systems operating at low-pressure levels. It ensures protection against overpressure conditions, preventing equipment damage and maintaining safe operations.
Key Features
- Low-Pressure Operation – Specifically designed for systems with minimal pressure variations.
- Automatic Pressure Relief – Opens when pressure exceeds the set threshold.
- Spring or Pilot Operated – Available in both spring-loaded and pilot-operated configurations.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Built to withstand harsh environments.
- Adjustable Pressure Settings – Can be fine-tuned for specific applications.
Types of Low Pressure Safety Valves
- Spring-Loaded LPSV – Uses a calibrated spring to control the opening and closing.
- Pilot-Operated LPSV – Uses an external pilot system for precise pressure control.
- Diaphragm-Type LPSV – Ideal for applications requiring tight sealing and minimal leakage.
- Vacuum Relief Valve – Protects against vacuum conditions in tanks and pipelines.
Applications
- Storage Tanks and Vessels
- Gas Distribution Systems
- HVAC and Ventilation Systems
- Pharmaceutical and Food Industries
- Low-Pressure Steam and Water Systems
Maintenance & Safety Tips
- Regular Testing – Ensure proper functionality with periodic inspections.
- Prevent Blockages – Keep the valve free from dust and debris.
- Correct Pressure Setting – Adjust the valve according to system requirements.
- Check for Corrosion – Use corrosion-resistant materials for extended lifespan.
