Safety Valves protect plants of all kinds from impermissible overpressure. They prevent damage to persons, the
environment and investments. As the last link in the safety chain, their perfect function must be ensured. The
requirements for development, design, production and quality management are correspondingly high.

Only comprehensive tests and trials can ensure that Safety Valves will always function perfectly, even under
extreme service conditions. Since the inception, FAINGER LESER has been operating micro processor based test
lab. for determining the function and characteristics of Valves. Critical components are machined on CNCs to
accomplish the demanding requirements placed by the International standards like DIN 3320, ISO 4126, ASME Sec.
VIII etc.
..

The main ADVANTAGES of FAINGER LESER Valves are:

l Universal, without changing trim applicable for steam/gas or liquid service, simple and user friendly in
construction.
l No hassles of adjusting complicated Blow down rings, because of fixed Blow down type.
l Blow down, in general not exceeding the limits of valves with adjusting ring(s).
l Higher capacity possible per size; for smaller API/ASME capacities lift stopper is used.
l Spring loaded valve as a standard for pressures as low as 0.15 bar g.
l Valve capacity & performance test, in-house by computer controlled test facility within its range.

Thus, in the above example, Model No. H/CC4…...., is Type FL 441 Standard Pressure Series
BH/CC4…...., is Type FL 441 Standard Pressure Series, IBR approved.
*H/CC4…...., is Type FL 441 High Pressure Series
*BH/CC4…...., is Type FL 441 High Pressure Series, IBR approved.

PROCEDURE FOR VALVE SIZING & SELECTION


First refer to Type FL 441, Standard Pressure Series. If the range is insufficient, refer to Type FL 441, High Presure Series.
..
Valves manufactured by FAINGER LESER based on DIN design are type tested & approved by the International Agency, TUV (the German
Type Test approving Authority) and the local statutory bodies like the CCoE (Chief Controller of Explosives), the IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations
Act, 1950) etc.
Sizing calculations are according to ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 / API RP 520 or DIN 3320 / TRD 421, AD-Merkblatt 2000 - A2, IBR 1950, where
applicable. For IBR Valves of FAINGER LESER, the assigned value of constant is: C=38. Relieving capacity of the selected Valve would meet
the customer required capacity.
Flange rating and center to face dimensions are according to API 526 / DIN 3320. Valves with special connections and
different center to face dimensions can also be provided on request.

1. Safety Valves with Stainless Steel Bellows

There are two reasons for the use of stainless steel bellows:

a) Bellows reliably seal the bonnet to the outlet chamber, protecting the guides, moving parts and the spring against
failure through action of the fluid, such as dirt, corrosion, impurities or temperature.

b) Stainless-steel bellows compensate for the effects of back pressure. They are so designed that the effective area
of the bellows is equivalent to that of the seating area.

Stainless-steel bellows must be used when built-up back pressure exceeds 15% of set pressure. Stainless steel
bellows can be used for back pressure up to a maximum of 35% of the set pressure.

The stainless-steel balanced bellows’ inherent stiffness affects set and function performance. The min. set pressure
is also dependent on the nominal dia. (DN) chosen. Depending on the set pressure, either single or double-
walled stainless steel bellows (standard) are used. A shield may also have to be installed if the
unit is subjected to a particularly high level of stress, such as abrasive fluids, flow

A ¼” BSP/NPT control thread is fitted into the bonnet to

2. Safety Valves with Heating Jacket
Safety Valve can be fitted with a heating jacket for special applications. Areas of application are systems to be protected
from media, which are viscous, sticky or have tendency to
crystallize out of solution.

In case of flanged Safety Valves without stainless steel bellows, only the bodies are fitted with a heating jacket. The heating

Safety Valves with stainless steel bellows


For Safety Valves with stainless steel bellows, the bonnet spacer required to house the bellows is fitted with an additional
heating jacket. Both heating jackets are joined by a threaded pipe bend.

3. Safety Valves with Cooling Spacer for higher temperature (above 400 oC)
To protect the sliding parts and the spring against inadmissible influence of temperature an additional equipment will be
necessary for all flanged spring loaded valves if the fluid temperature is 400 oC (752 oF) and higher.

If the temperature is higher than 450 oC (842 oF) stainless steel bellows should be provided as far as they are not fitted
already by reason of the back pressure ratio.

4. Safety Valves with Test Gag
In order to allow the adjustment of each Safety Valve in a plant provided with several Safety Valves or to carry out a pressure test
above the allowable operating pressure a test gag is required. The test gag is fitted in the lever cover and exerts force on top of
the spindle. After testing the test gag shall be removed.

5. Safety Valves with Lift Stopper


That Safety Valves are only available in standardized nominal diameters, the valve could in a given application be oversized. It
is therefore recommended to reduce the lift by means of a lift stopper, thus reducing the coefficient of discharge in addition.

Lift stoppers must allow a lift of at least 1 mm.

PROCEDURE FOR VALVE SIZING & SELECTION


Valves manufactured by FAINGER LESER are based on DIN design. Relieving capacity of the selected valve would meet the customer
required capacity. Sizing calculations are according to DIN 3320 / TRD 421, AD-Merkblatt 2000-A2 or
ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1/ API RP 520, where applicable.

FAINGER LESER Valves are tested for seat leakage according to API 527.

2. Safety Valves with Test Gag
In order to allow the adjustment of each Safety Valve in a plant provided with several Safety Valves or to carry out a pressure
test above the allowable operating pressure a test gag is required. The test gag is fitted in the lever cover and exerts force on
top of the spindle. After testing the test gag shall be removed.

3. Safety Valves with Lift Stopper


That Safety Valves are only available in standardized nominal diameters, the valve could in a given application be oversized. It
is therefore recommended to reduce the lift by means of a lift stopper, thus reducing the coefficient of discharge in addition.

D. Sizing Calculations as per Fire Exposure

There are various ways in which a pressure vessel can be subjected to heat in such a manner as to result in an unacceptably
high pressure increase. One cause of such subjection to heat is an external fire.

As the course of development of heat caused by external fire may vary considerably, depending on the cause of the fire, it is
necessary to standardise these causes under the term “standard fire”. The amount of heat resulting from such a “standard
fire” can be calculated using the formula specified in API RP-520 & 521.

First of all, the wetted surface of the vessel is required to be determined. On the basis of this value, the total heat absorption,
“Q”, can then be calculated using the formula from the above stated API standard. The mass flow “W”, which is to be
discharged by the Safety Valve is then calculated from the total heat absorption, “Q”, and the heat of evaporation, “L”.

On the basis of the determined mass flow, “W”, sizing of Safety Valve can then be established using standard formula as per
ASME [Link], Div. 1/API RP-520.

Sizing
Sizing of Safety Valves
Acc. to IBR 1950 6
For all steam service Safety Valves covered under IBR, the sizing calculations are based on IBR formula (IBR-1950,
Regulation No. 293) as under.

where,
E
A = --------------- x F A = Calculated throat/flow area, mm²
100 x C x P = p d² /4; d = Calculated throat/flow dia, mm
E = Required Relieving Capacity, kg/h
C = IBR constant
= 38 for FAINGER LESER make Safety Valves
P = Set Pressure, bar abs.
F = Superheat correction factor (F=1 for saturated steam)

2.7 Ts
= 1 + ---------- ,
1000

Ts is degree of superheat, °C

NOTE
Using the above formula, the smallest flow Area “A” shall be calculated to discharge the required mass flow. The flow
area/dia selected shall be equal to or larger than the required one. Based on the selected flow area/dia, the inlet & outlet
size of the Safety Valve shall be chosen to match with the size as indicated in API 526 or as per customer requirement.
