Safety valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of Richter Certified Chemical Safety Valves, specifically the KSE model, designed for use in corrosive and high-purity applications. These valves are certified for vapours, gases, and liquids, offering corrosion resistance and flexibility in various industrial settings.
Specifications:
  • Set pressures range from 0.1 to 13 bar (1.45-188 psig).
  • Operating temperature up to 180 °C (360 °F).
  • Suitable for corrosive media where metallic materials are inadequate.
  • Special design for chlorine plants and high-purity media.
Design Features:
  • Direct-acting, spring-loaded, bellows safety valve with angle-type valve body.
  • Complies with German AD 2000 Code for pressure vessels.
  • High discharge coefficients and capacity due to streamlined flow parts.
  • ASME/Sect. VIII, Div. 1 certified safety valve KSEA available.
Materials and Construction:
  • Valve body made of ductile cast iron with PTFE lining.
  • Bellows made of modified TFM-PTFE for enhanced permeation resistance.
  • Optional antistatic lining and highly permeation-resistant PFA-P lining available.
Performance and Applications:
  • Protection against excessive pressure in pressure vessels and plants.
  • Suitable for chlorine electrolysis and metal-reactive media.
  • Adaptable to discharge mass flow with lift reduction.
Installation and Certification:
  • Flanges to DIN EN 1092-2 shape B, PN 16, with optional ASME (ANSI) flanges.
  • Certified discharge coefficients for high discharge capacities.
  • Back pressures for vapours/gases max. 30%, for liquids max. 50% of set pressure.
Additional Information:
  • Formulas for valve sizing provided according to AD 2000 and DIN 3320 standards.
  • Contact details for Richter Chemie-Technik GmbH included for further inquiries.

Advantage: The KSE safety valves can be adapted to the discharge mass flow by means of a lift reduction (details on request) in the event of possible oversizing. Vapours and gases: With pressure conditions p^M) > 0.2 the discharge coefficients ad are to be taken from diagram (2) and applied. For safety valves which are to be adapted to the discharge mass flow by means of a lift reduction, the discharge coefficients ad can be taken from diagram (1); with pressure conditions pa0/p0 > 0.2 a deduction in accordance with diagram (2) is to be made. This deduction is derived from the difference between...
