FAQ's of REGO Angle Relief Valve, ASME AR5100 Series:
Q: How is the REGO AR5100 Series Angle Relief Valve installed?
A: The valve is designed for vertical mounting and features a 1/2 M NPT inlet and 1/2 F NPT outlet thread. Simply connect it to the appropriate ports in your pressure system according to standard piping practices, ensuring proper alignment and secure sealing.
Q: What types of media are suitable for use with this relief valve?
A: The AR5100 Series is constructed to handle a wide range of gases and liquids, including LPG, ammonia (NH3), air, and other compatible fluids. Ensure that your media is non-corrosive or suitable for contact with brass and stainless steel.
Q: When should this relief valve be used in a system?
A: This valve is ideal for scenarios where pressure relief is critical, especially in LPG, ammonia, and compressed air systems. It is designed for use when set pressures between 175 PSIG and 400 PSIG are required to protect system integrity.
Q: Where can the AR5100 Series valve typically be applied?
A: Typical applications include industrial storage tanks, process equipment, and pipeline systems that require overpressure protection. Its robust construction suits indoor and outdoor installations across diverse industries including chemical, energy, and gas distribution.
Q: What is the process for setting the relief pressure of this valve?
A: Set pressure is factory calibrated between 175 and 400 PSIG as specified by the application. If a different set pressure is needed, consult the manufacturer or an authorized service provider for precise adjustment following industry standards.
Q: How does the valve ensure safety and reliability?
A: The valve's spring-loaded, angle-body design offers quick, reliable response to overpressure events. Metal-to-metal seat sealing provides leak-tight shutoff, while the vented discharge helps safely direct relived media away from operators and equipment.
Q: What are the benefits of using an AR5100 Series valve in your system?
A: Key advantages include high flow capacity (Cv: 0.92), mechanical spring operation for simple maintenance, and compliance with ASME Section VIII, ensuring regulatory adherence and peace of mind for overpressure protection.
