For testing and adjusting spring loaded safety and relief valves under full pressure in a built in condition a special process was developed.
The physical basic priciple is:
P (bar) = F ( N ) / A ( cm^2)
( pressure = force / area)
<The variable in question is P (set
pressure).
<The area A is determined from the
valve data (averaged seat area).
<The variable F is measured directly
on the safety valve spindle.
During the test the system pressure p2
(bar) and the displacement of the valve spindle s (mm)
are supplementary recorded.
The variables mentioned above are simultaneously processed in a computer. For every tested valve a test report will be handed over to the customer. Our equipment requires a power supply of 220V/50Hz and an axial free space of only 500 mm above the valve spindle.
