Proportional Lift Safety Valves

Proportional Full-Lift Safety Valve

Proportional Full-Lift Safety Valve

A proportional full-lift safety valve is a flanged safety valve in which the disc lifts proportionally to overpressure as the pressure adjustment value is exceeded, and the discharge quantity increases with pressure. Thanks to its proportional opening characteristic, it delivers smooth and precise pressure relief, especially in liquid (water, hot water, thermal oil) lines and pump outlets without shock.

It is offered in sizes from DN15 to DN100 with EN-JL1040 ductile iron PN16 (300 °C), 1.0619 cast steel PN40 (450 °C) and 1.4408 (AISI 316) stainless steel PN40 (400 °C) body options. The seat is AISI 316Ti and the disc is AISI 420 stainless steel. Open or closed cap and lifting mechanism options are available.
