General features
The Model 6400 is an angular type safety valve at 90º between the inlet and the outlet connections. It has flanged connections, a full nozzle,
direct action and is spring loaded. There are three types: Conventional, Balanced (with bellows) and Balanced-Piston. All three are designed
with specific trims to work with gases, steam and liquids.
DESIGN
• The valve body is angular type at 90º between the inlet and outlet flanges. Its large internal capacity and smooth internal body reduces
turbulence.
• Full nozzle type, guided and screwed to body, enabling precise alignment and easy disassembly.
• Disc is separate from disc-holder, and a greater selection of materials can be offered.
• Stem-push rod design in two parts, enables push rod material to be hardened to withstand high pressure, facilitating displacement,
minimizing seizure with the guide.
• The guide has a large push rod area to prevent damage, ensuring precise alignment with all internal components.
• The bellows are made so its average area is equal to orifice area. This achieves precise valve balance and excellent operation with
variable back pressures. The bellows' design enables valve operation at maximum pressures and temperatures.
• Springs are designed with a highly reliable calculation software, and manufactured with the correct material of construction for the
process conditions, ensuring accurate valve opening.
• The standardization of different valve types enables a conventional valve to be converted to a balanced bellow or balanced piston valve
with only a minimal change of parts.

• This catalogue reflects standard valves and operations. Upon request, our technical department can design for special applications.
• The safety valve is an automatic direct action device whose function is to relieve excessive overpressures in the installations that it
protects. Its main operation is to allow sudden fluid discharge with a complete and fast opening (pop).
• The automatic valve opening is produced because of the additional push provided by the overpressure of the fluid itself, overcoming
spring resistance. Once the installation has recovered to its normal service conditions, the valve closes again.
• Safety valve behavior is different according to whether the fluid it works with is in a single phase (gas or liquid only), or in two or more
(multiple) phase conditions.

Operation
The safety valve protects a pressurized installation. It remains closed until the force exerted by the pressure of fluid P1, against the disc, is
equal to the force of spring Fr. (Fig.1). From this point of equilibrium, the disc holder comes away the nozzle, releasing a small amount of
fluid, (valve set pressure) which is applied in the ring chamber (C) formed between the disc holder and adjusting ring (Fig. 2). Chamber
pressurization (C) creates an additional force contributing to total instantaneous valve opening (Fig.3). Maximum valve lift shall be achieved
without the installation exceeding 10% of overpressure, regardless of whether fluid is a gas or liquid.
Once the overpressurization has dissipated, the pressure will reduce to a certain value below the set pressure, a closing the valve. The
difference between set pressure and re-seating pressure (blowdown), may be between 7% and 15% depending on whether the valve is
designed for a gas or liquid.
Overpressure and blowdown values may be corrected by positioning the adjusting ring closer to or further from, the internal disc holder
surface.

OPERATION AT CONSTANT BACK PRESSURE
When a conventional safety valve (without bellows) Model 64GC, is installed where the outlet of the valve has a constant (back) pressure applied
(P2), the back pressure must be taken into account. This back pressure influences the upper and lower disc holder surface, remaining balanced
except for the area occupied by the inlet orifice ( Sa ), (where the back pressure does not act upon.) This results in additional force added to the
spring. When adjusting the valve pressure on the test bench, one must subtract the back pressure ( P2 ) from the set pressure ( P1 ).
OPERATION AT VARIABLE BACK PRESSURE

If conventional valve Model 64 GC discharges fluid where the back pressure is variable, then the set pressure is affected by the same variation. If
this variation is greater than 10% of the set pressure, a balanced valve (with bellows) Model 64 GF must be installed. The bellows function is to
eliminate effects caused by back pressure.
The bellows mean diameter area ( Sf ), equals the valve inlet orifice area ( Sa ). It isolates the disc holder upper surface from back pressure action,
setting it to atmospheric pressure through the vent hole in valve bonnet. Additional forces on the spring are eliminated. When the valve set pressure
is adjusted on the test bench, no back pressure correction is required.
BACK PRESSURE EFFECT

When the valve opens under back pressure due to build-up of back pressure or superimposed back pressure, two conditions occur. It prevents the
valve from achieving total lift without exceeding 10% overpressure. The force on the upper disc holder surface, and pressure reduction on the lower
disc holder surface are eliminated. Back pressure data indicated on the operation technical characteristics tables are experimental back pressures
performed in a laboratory on different valve types, and at no time exceed the maximum overpressure of 10%.

Definitions (ASME PTC 25)
Actual discharge area: The measured minimum net area that determines the flow through a valve.
Coefficient of discharge: The ratio of the measured relieving capacity to the theoretical relieving capacity.
Conventional direct spring-loaded PRV: A direct spring-loaded pressure relief valve whose operational characteristics are
directly affected by changes in the back pressure.
Back pressure: The static pressure existing at the outlet of a pressure relief device due to pressure in the discharge system.
Balanced direct spring-loaded PRV: A direct spring-loaded pressure relief valve that incorporates means of minimizing
the effect of back pressure on the operational characteristics (opening pressure, closing pressure, and relieving capacity) of the
valve.
Blowdown: The difference between actual relieving pressure of a pressure relief valve, and actual reseating pressure,
expressed as a percentage of set pressure (or in pressure units).
Blowdown pressure: The value of decreasing inlet static pressure at which no further discharge is detected at the outlet of a
pressure relief valve, after the valve has been subjected to a pressure equal to or above the relieving pressure.
Bore area: The minimum cross-sectional flow area of a nozzle.
Bore diameter: The minimum diameter of a nozzle.
Built-up back pressure: Pressure existing at the outlet of a pressure relief device caused by the flow through that particular
device into a discharge system.
Cold differential test pressure: The inlet static pressure at which a pressure relief valve is adjusted to open on the test stand.
This test pressure includes corrections for service conditions of superimposed back pressure and/or temperature.
Constant back pressure: A superimposed back pressure that is constant over time.
Developed lift: The actual travel of the disk from the closed position to the open position reached when the valve is at flow-
rating pressure.
Effective discharge area: A nominal or computed area of flow through a pressure relief valve, differing from the actual
discharge area, for use in recognized flow formulas to determine the capacity of a pressure relief valve.
Effective seat area: A computed area for use in calculating the set pressure of a given pressure relief valve when tested using
an auxiliary lift-assist device.
Flow path: The three-dimensional and geometric characteristics of a device that affects the measured relieving capacity. It is
defined from the cross section of the inlet to the cross section of the outlet.
Inlet size: The nominal pipe size of the inlet of a pressure relief valve.
Leak test pressure: The specified inlet static pressure at which a quantitative seat leakage test is performed in accordance
with a standard procedure.
Lift: The actual travel of the disk away from the closed position when a valve is relieving.
Maximum allowable pressure: The maximum pressure for which the equipment is designed as specified by the
manufacturer.
Outlet size: The nominal pipe size of the outlet of a pressure relief valve, unless otherwise designated.
29
Definitions (ASME PTC 25) continued
Overpressure: A pressure increase over the set pressure of a pressure relief valve, usually expressed as a percentage of set
pressure.
Popping pressure: The value of increasing the inlet static pressure, so the disk opens faster.
Pressure: The pressure unit used in this standard is psi or bar. It is quoted as gauge (relative to atmospheric pressure) or
absolute as appropriate.
Pressure Relief Valve (PRV): A pressure relief device designed to actuate on inlet static pressure and reclose after normal
conditions have been restored.
Re-seating pressure: The value of decreasing inlet static pressure at which the valve disk re-establishes contact with the seat
or at which lift becomes zero.
Relieving pressure: Set pressure plus overpressure.
Safety valve: A pressure relief valve characterized by rapid opening and normally used to relieve compressible fluids.
Set pressure: The value of the inlet static pressure at which a pressure relief device displays one of the operational
characteristics as defined under opening pressure, popping pressure, start-to-leak pressure, burst pressure, or breaking
pressure. (The applicable operating characteristic for a specific device design is specified by the device manufacturer).
Safety relief valve: A pressure relief valve characterized by rapid opening or by gradual opening that is generally proportional
to the increase in pressure. It can be used for compressible or incompressible fluids.
Superimposed back pressure: The static pressure existing at the outlet of a pressure relief device at the time the device is
required to operate. It is the result of pressure in the discharge system from other sources.
