Casing and Tubing Overload Relief Valves (For Use On Standard Swabs Only)
For use in heavy-load swabbing, these valves act as bypass valves for maximum efficiency going in the hole. They also release excess fluid head, preventing overloading of swabs and cups when lifting heavy loads. Excess fluid relief takes place through an internal, spring-loaded, shim adjusted relief valve. Settings may be adjusted by use of shims beneath the valve spring (see tables). These valves resist corrosion and abrasion to assure long, troublefree valve service. The relief valve should be set to support a slightly greater fluid column than is normally pulled. The valve then serves as a regular bypass system and the relief feature is not used. Should the fluid column exceed the valve setting, the relief valve opens as the swab starts out of the hole, relieving the excess load. When desired fluid head has been attained, the relief valve closes and swabbing proceeds. The valve responds only to fluid pressure, not to line load. To keep line loads the same, relief valves on larger swabs must be adjusted to support a shorter fluid column than those on smaller swabs.

More oil than salt water, for example, will be delivered with the same valve setting; however, the line load will remain the same for any fluid with a given setting. Relief valve should be set to support a column of fluid a little greater than the operator normally pulls. The valve serves only as a regular swab bypass and inner valve remains seated throughout operations.
