General design features

• One design and one spring for steam, gas, liquid
and multi-phase (single trim)
• Self draining body design, avoids
residues and reduces corrosion
• Designed to meet small capacity requirements
of all industrial applications
• Opens rapidly within an overpressure
maximum 10% to full lift
• Maximum blowdown within 10% for steam /gas service
and 20% for liquid service
• Developed in consultation with users from plants,
OEM and service specialists

Approvals
• Designed and tested in accordance with the rules of
DIN EN ISO 4126 and ASME Section VIII Div. 1 at our
test lab in Germany
• IBR Certificate Form III C (without attachment 11)
• Third party inspections possible
