KUNKLE 6010DCM01-KM-60 Safety Relief Valve 1/2 Inch x 3/4 Inch 60 Psi

Kunkle 6010DCM01-KM-60 relief valve safeguards equipment, personnel and the environment from overpressure dangers in systems such as boilers, pressure vessels, pipelines and tanks. It automatically relieves excess pressure buildup and prevents catastrophic failures, leaks & explosions, ensuring operational safety and regulatory compliance.

Working Mechanism:

• Pressure builds up within the system, prompting the safety relief valve to initiate its operation.
• The safety relief valve activates as pressure exceeds the predetermined safe limit.
• It swiftly opens to release the excess pressure, preventing it from reaching dangerous levels.
• The valve actively controls the flow rate to stabilize the pressure within the acceptable range.
• Once the pressure reduces to a safe level, the safety relief valve gradually closes to restore normal operating conditions.
• The safety relief valve remains prepared to reactivate if pressure escalates again, ensuring ongoing protection of the system and personnel.

Features:

• It features a metal seat, ensuring secure sealing and long-term reliability in various industrial applications.
• This relief valve is equipped with a bronze disc for structural rigidity and corrosion resistance.
• This relief valve offers a test lever for convenient and reliable testing of valve functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to size a pressure relief safety valve?

A.

• Consider the connection size and type, ensuring compatibility with the inlet and discharge piping sizes.
• Determine the appropriate set pressure (PSIG) to ensure effective pressure relief.
• Account for the temperature conditions to select a valve that can operate reliably within the specified temperature range.
• Evaluate the back pressure to ensure the valve can function properly under anticipated system conditions.
• Assess the specific service requirements to choose a valve suitable for the intended application.
• Determine the required capacity of the valve to effectively relieve pressure and protect the system from overpressure situations.

Q. How to install a Kunkle valve?

A.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before starting the installation process.
• Verify the model number of the pressure relief valve to ensure compatibility and accuracy.
• Mount the valve securely in the designated location according to manufacturer specifications.
• If applicable, connect the discharge piping to the valve to facilitate the safe release of pressure.
• Attach the valve to the connecting pipe using suitable fittings and fasteners for a secure installation.
