1.1 Introduction

We appreciate your business and your choice of Welker products. The installation, operation, and maintenance liability for this

equipment becomes that of the purchaser at the time of receipt. Reading the applicable Installation, Operation, and

Maintenance (IOM) Manuals prior to installation and operation of this equipment is required for a full understanding of its

application and performance prior to use.*

If you have any questions, please call Welker at 1-281-491-2331.

*The following procedures have been written for use with standard Welker parts and equipment. Assemblies that have been modified may have additional

requirements and specifications that are not listed in this manual.

1.2 Product Description

The Welker RV-1, RV-2, and RV-3 Relief Valves are designed to protect instruments and regulators from overpressurization. The

RV-2CP is designed to be used in place of a rupture disc to protect cylinders from overpressurization. Unlike a rupture disc, the

RV-2CP will only relieve enough pressure required for it to reseat, thus limiting the amount of product discharged. As an added

safety feature, the RV-2CP outlet can be vented to a safe location.

lThe RV-1 is specifically designed to relieve moderate capacity instruments in the 0–200 psig range.

lThe RV-2 is specifically designed to relieve low capacity instruments in the 0–1900 psig range.

lThe RV-2CP is specifically designed to relieve low capacity cylinders in the 0–1900 psig range.

lThe RV-3 is specifically designed to relieve high capacity instruments in the 0–200 psig range.

Welker may custom design the RV-1, RV-2, RV-2CP, and RV-3 to suit the particular application and specifications of each customer.

1.3 Specifications

2.1 Before You Begin



After unpacking the unit, check the equipment for compliance and any damage that may have occurred during shipment.

Immediately contact a Welker representative if you received damaged equipment.



When sealing fittings with PTFE tape, refer to the proper sealing instructions for the brand used.

2.2 Setting and Installing the Relief: RV-1, RV-2, and RV-3



If installing and setting an RV-2CP, see Section 2.3, Installing and Setting the Relief: RV-2CP.



To accurately set the relief, a safe gas source, regulator, and pressure gauge are needed.

Setting the Relief Valve

1. Connect the regulator to a safe gas source.

2. Screw the spring adjuster of the relief valve clockwise to fully close the relief valve.

3. Install the relief valve to the regulator.

4. Set the regulator to the desired pressure, and then apply auxiliary gas through the regulator to the relief valve.

5. Screw the spring adjuster of the relief valve counterclockwise until pressure starts to relieve. A hissing sound will be

audible.



For the RV-1 and RV-2, use a hex key to screw the spring adjuster.

For the RV-3, use a Phillips head screwdriver to screw the spring adjuster.



6. Screw the spring adjuster of the relief valve clockwise until the hissing sound stops and the relief valve obtains a

positive shutoff.

Testing the Relief Valve

7. Set the regulator to a pressure slightly below the relief valve set point, and then slowly increase the pressure of the

regulator until it is slightly higher than the relief valve set point. A hissing sound should be audible.

8. Slowly decrease the pressure of the regulator until it is slightly below the relief valve set point. The hissing sound should

stop as the relief valve reseats.

9. If the relief valve does not begin to relieve pressure or does not reseat, it may be necessary to repeat steps 4–6 to reset

the relief valve.

10. If the relief valve is to be used with the regulator it was set with, reset the regulator to the desired point.

Installing the Relief Valve

11. Either wrap the threads of the relief valve with PTFE tape or apply pipe dope to the threads.

12. Using a wrench, install the relief valve to the correct port on the instrument it will be relieving.

13. Installation is complete, and the relief valve is now operational.

2.3 Installing and Setting the Relief: RV-2CP



If setting and installing an RV-1, RV-2, or RV-3, see Section 2.2, Setting and Installing the Relief: RV-1, RV-2, and RV-3.

Installing the RV-2CP



Prior to being set, the RV-2CP must be installed to the cylinder it will be relieving.



1. Install the seat of the RV-2CP to the cylinder the RV-2CP will be relieving (Figure 3). The O-ring side of the seat must face

away from the RV-2CP.

2. Either wrap the threads of the RV-2CP with PTFE tape or apply pipe dope to the threads.

3. Install the RV-2CP on top of the seat.

4. Using a torque wrench, tighten the RV-2CP to 30 ft•lb. The RV-2CP may now be set.

Setting the RV-2CP



To accurately set the relief, a safe gas source, regulator, and pressure gauge are needed.



5. Connect the regulator to a safe gas source.

6. Using a hex key, screw the spring adjuster of the RV-2CP clockwise to fully close the RV-2CP.

7. Connect from the regulator to the cylinder end cap to which the RV-2CP is installed.

8. Set the regulator to the desired pressure, and then apply auxiliary gas through the regulator to the RV-2CP.

9. Using a hex key, screw the spring adjuster of the RV-2CP counterclockwise until pressure starts to relieve. A hissing

sound will be audible.

10. Screw the spring adjuster of the RV-2CP clockwise until the hissing sound stops and the RV-2CP obtains a positive

shutoff.

Testing the RV-2CP

11. Set the regulator to a pressure slightly below the RV-2CP set point, and then slowly increase the pressure of the

regulator until it is slightly higher than the RV-2CP set point. A hissing sound should be audible.

12. Slowly decrease the pressure of the regulator until it is slightly below the RV-2CP set point. The hissing sound should

stop as the RV-2CP reseats.

13. If the RV-2CP does not begin to relieve pressure or does not reseat, it may be necessary to repeat steps 8–10 to reset

the RV-2CP.

14. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder end cap.

15. The RV-2CP is now operational.

3.1 Before You Begin

1. Welker recommends that the unit have standard maintenance under normal operating conditions: for gas

every six (6) months; and for liquid every twelve (12) months. In cases of severe service, dirty conditions, excessive

usage, or other unique applications that may lead to excess wear on the unit, a more frequent maintenance schedule

may be appropriate.

2. Prior to maintenance or disassembly of the unit, it is advisable to have a repair kit available for repairs of the system in

case of unexpected wear or faulty seals.



New seals supplied in spare parts kits should be lightly lubricated before being installed to ease the installation of the seals and

reduce the risk of damage when positioning them on parts. Wipe excess lubricant from the seals, as it may adversely affect

analytical instrument results.



For sample-exposed seals, Welker recommends non-hydrocarbon-based lubricants, such as Krytox®.

For non-sample-exposed seals, Welker recommends either non-hydrocarbon-based lubricants or silicone-based lubricants, such

as Molykote® 111.



After the seals are installed, the outer diameter of shafts and inner diameter of cylinders may be lubricated to allow smooth

transition of parts.



3. All maintenance and cleaning of the unit should be performed on a smooth, clean surface.

4. Welker recommends having the following tools available for maintenance. Please note that the exact tools required may

vary by model.

a. Adjustable Wrench

b. Channel Lock Pliers

c. Flat Head Screwdriver

d. Hex Key Set

e. Phillips Head Screwdriver

3.2 Maintenance: RV-1

Figure 5: RV-1 Maintenance Diagram

1. Isolate and depressurize the RV-1 from the supply source.

2. Remove the RV-1 from the supply.

3. Using a hex key, remove the spring adjuster, spring, and ball.

4. Inspect the spring. If the spring is in good condition, it can be reused.

5. Inspect the ball for nicks and scratches. Replace as necessary.

6. Unscrew the base from the spring housing, and then replace the O-ring on the base.

7. Remove and replace the O-ring in the spring housing side of the base.



DONOT lubricate the O-ring on which the ball seals (Figure 5, #1).



8. Screw the base into the spring housing.

9. Return the ball and spring to the spring housing.



The ball must rest on the O-ring. If the ball rests on the metal trim, the relief will not seat.



10. Screw the spring adjuster into the spring body.

11. The RV-1 is now ready to be reset and reinstalled. See Section 2.2, Setting and Installing the Relief: RV-1, RV-2, and RV-3,

for instructions on setting and installing the relief.
