Product catalog summary
Overview: The Richter Low-Pressure Safety Valves (LPV series) are designed for use with corrosive and pure liquids, gases, and vapors. They are suitable for applications involving vacuum and gauge pressures ranging from -120 mbar to +120 mbar (-1.7 psi to +1.7 psi) and temperatures from -60 to +200 °C (-75 to +400 °F). These valves are certified for vapors, gases, and fluids under certification number TÜV.SV.06-1058.
Fields of Application: The LPV series is used in process plants for venting during filling, respiration during emptying, and managing process or temperature-related volume variations. They can be installed as angle valves on vessels or inline valves in pipes, suitable for reactor columns, vessels with glass or plastic lining, and vessels with protective gas layers.
Product Features: The LPV valves are direct-acting and weight-loaded with a proportional opening characteristic. They feature a top-entry design for easy maintenance and anti-adhesive wetted surfaces due to PFA/PTFE lining. The valves are gas and liquid-tight to DIN EN 12266-1 standards and offer easy set pressure adjustments through weight variations.
Materials and Construction: The body, inlet nozzle, and bonnet are made of ductile cast iron with PFA or PTFE lining. The valves include components like a PTFE plug, seat, and lifting aid, with optional antistatic properties. The guide has a stainless steel core, optionally Hastelloy® C4, ensuring stability at high temperatures.
Installation and Identification: The valves are installed with the valve bonnet vertical and identified according to DIN EN 19 and ANSI B16.34 standards. They are available in angle (LPV-A) and inline (LPV-D) configurations, with various lining options including antistatic PFA-L/PTFE-L.
Performance and Adjustments: The set pressure can be adjusted in increments of 5, 10, and 20 mbar (0.07, 0.15, and 0.30 psi). The valves are certified for set pressures from +20 mbar to +120 mbar and set vacuums from -20 mbar to -120 mbar. Discharge capacities are provided for air and water at standard conditions.
Components and Materials: Key components include a ductile cast iron body with PFA/PTFE lining, PTFE plug and seat, stainless steel guide, and optional Hastelloy® core. The valves are designed for high permeation resistance and universal application in corrosive and high-temperature environments.
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for both LPV-A and LPV-D configurations, with specifications for flange bore and installation dimensions.
