5．Operation

Discharge

When the pressure at the inlet side of the safety valve rises and approaches the set pressure, the

fluid pressure which pushes the valve ⑦approaches the pressure of the spring ⑮which is

holding down the valve ⑦. Pre-leaking which is as low as 3% of the discharge pressure occurs at

this point. (The pressure at this point is called the commence to discharge pressure. In case of

safety valve for gases, the set pressure is generally the commence to discharge pressure.)

The fluid which has started to pre-leak gradually accumulates in the valve holder ⑩, and when it

reaches the prescribed discharge pressure, the valve pops. (The pressure at this point is called the

popping pressure. In case of safety valves for steam, the set pressure is generally the popping

pressure.)

Closing

When the valve ⑦pops, and the fluid is discharged into the air, the pressure on the safety valve

inlet decreases, lowering the pressure of the fluid to raise the valve. Thus, the resilience of the

spring ⑮becomes stronger, and the valve closes. When the safety valve is discharging, the

pressure from the fluid coming in from the back of the valve holder ⑩(back pressure) adds to the

pressure for the valve to close.

7. Installation

Figure 3 Figure of piping example (for steam)

7.2 Warnings and cautions for product installation





Warnings

(1) This product is very heavy. Use a suspension or other device to support it securely at

installation.

＊The falling of the product may result in injuries.

(2) Attach an exhaust pipe onto the outlet so that the fluid is led to a safe place at discharge.

＊Be aware of scalding and other injuries at discharge.





Cautions

(1) Cleanse the inside of the pipe thoroughly and remove any dust or scales before installing the

product.

＊Remaining dust from insufficient cleansing may obstruct proper operation of the product.

(2) Remove the caps on the inlet and outlet of the product before installation.

(3) Match the fluid flow direction with the inlet and outlet of the product to ensure proper

installation.

＊The product will not function if installed improperly.

(4) Please make sure that the product is installed in the proper direction.

＊The product will not function if installed in an improper direction.

(5) Securely support and fasten the piping.

＊Excess stress on the piping will cause deformation, obstructing proper opening and closing of

the valve.

(6) Do not remove the seal from the product.

(7) Upon installation, please choose a place with sufficient space for removal of the product.

＊Insufficient space will obstruct exchange and other necessary work on the product.

(8) If the product is installed in a place where the fluid discharge may trigger the alarm or soil

other equipment, extend the exhaust pipe to the outside of the building.

＊Lack of consideration for the location of the exhaust pipe end can result in soiling of other

equipment.

(9) Please ensure that the piping connections are secure.

＊Improper connections can result in leaking from the joints with vibrations, and scalding from

the fluid.

(10) Since the fluid leaks from model AF-7 upon operation, please take measures to prevent

soiling of other equipment.

●Cleansing the inside of the piping

(1) Please cleanse the inside of the pipe thoroughly and remove any dust or scales before

installing the product. Please note that all repairs for disorders due to foreign matters shall

be charged.

●Installation pipe mount for the safety valve

(1) The pipe mount for the safety valve should have sufficient strength and rigidity

against compression, shear and bending stress that is caused in the reaction against

the exhaust flowing up through the exhaust pipe attached to the safety valve.

(2) Install the safety valve vertically as close as possible to the can body and header. By

doing so, the pressure loss of the mount can be suppressed, preventing decrease in

the discharge volume and unstable functioning of the safety valve.

●Installation of an exhaust pipe onto the safety valve

(1) Install an exhaust pipe and expansion joint so that the stress caused by the thermal

expansion of the equipment or the fluctuation of the exhaust pipe due to the heat of

the safety valve does not affect the safety valve.

●Installation of the flange on the safety valve inlet

(1) As the valve seat is screwed on to the flange inlet, there is a difference in level on the

flange surface of this product. Upon installation, apply a flange gasket that suits the

nominal size and make sure that the gasket seals the valve seat completely (See

Figure 4).

8．Maintenance





Cautions

(1) Be sure to wear gloves when touching the product or piping.

＊Be aware of scalding or injuries.

(2) Wear earplugs when checking the operation of the product, and do not stand in front of the

exhaust pipe .Do not look into the pipe or put your hand out to the pipe.

＊The product makes a loud blowing noise during operation. Be aware of spluttering fluid from

the product.

(3) In case of raising the fluid pressure, check beforehand that no problems will occur regarding

the equipment installed onto the piping.

＊Be aware of damage to the equipment.

(4) Do not disassemble the product.

8.1 Daily inspection

Please check to see if there is any fluid leaking from the product or piping on the outlet side of

the product.

＊Please contact us if you notice anything abnormal.

■EＰＤＴ－１６８a■

- 7 -

8.2 Operational inspection (every half year)

(1) Check to see that installation bolts and nuts at the product inlet and outlet, as well as nuts ⑭

installed on the product are all fastened securely.

(2) In case of model AF-7 (lever type), raise the fluid pressure to 75% of the set pressure or

higher, raise the lever, and check to see that the fluid blows out. In case of type AF-7M

(closed type), raise the fluid pressure to the set pressure, and confirm that the product

operates.

＊Please contact us if you notice anything abnormal.
