Features

  • Suitable for back pressure to 50 psig (3.45 barg)[1].
  • Seats lapped for optimum performance.
  • Spherical pivot between disc and spring corrects misalignment and compensates for spring side thrust.
  • Stainless steel springs.
  • Tested and inspected for pressure setting and leakage.
  • All SS 316 model 171S suitable for sanitary applications, depending on requirements.

NOTE 1. Back pressure increases set pressure on a one to one basis, and reduces capacity. Back pressure in excess of 10% of set pressure is not recommended.

General Application
