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
NOTE
Special materials and lower set pressures are also possible. Please check availability.
In case of flanged Safety Valves without stainless steel bellows, only the bodies are fitted with a heating jacket. The heating

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.

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.

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.
