SV74
Carbon Steel
Safety Valve
Description

The SV74 steel series safety valves are built in conformance to Section I and VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. They
are primarily intended for use on power boilers and unfired pressure vessels where ASME Section I and VIII stamped valves are required.
Applications
Protection of steam systems downstream of pressure regulating stations, on inlet to such equipment as air coils, heat exchangers and
process vessels. Also for use on flash recovery vessels on condensate return systems to protect vessels. Air systems to protect accumulation
vessels and air equipment from overpressurisation. Steam boilers and generators.
Available types
The SV74 is available with carbon steel body and stainless steel trim in orifice sizes from 'F' to 'R'. It has an open bonnet and easing
lever and flanged connections.
Certification
A manufacturers' Typical Test Report is provided as standard for each valve which will include valve set and hydraulic test pressure.
Also available on request is material certification in accordance with EN 10204 3.1.
Standards and approvals
Approved by National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Cvode Sections I and VIII.
Seat tightness is in accordance with ASME/API STD 527-1992.
If National Board 'V' or 'UV' stamp is required, then this must be specified at the time of ordering.
The SV74 fully complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97 /23 /EC and carries the mark when so required.

Formulas:
For steam service:

For organic fluid vaporizers - lb / h:

Where:
A = Required orifice area in square inches
P = Relieving pressure in pounds per square inch absolute = set pressure (psi g) + overpressure + 14.7 where the overpressure is
3% or 2 psi, whichever is the greater. P = 1.03 x set pressure + 14.7 or P = set pressure + 2 psi + 14.7.
T = Inlet temperature, F. Absolute (F plus 460).
s

= Required steam capacity in pounds per hour.

= Required vapor capacity in pounds per hour.

Kd = Coefficient of discharge, 0.955 for steam, air and vapour service.
Ksh = Steam superheat correction factor. See Table 1 below.
M = Average molecular weight of vapour. See Table 3, page 5.
C = Gas or vapour flow constant. See Table 2, page 5.
Z = Compressibility factor corresponding to T and P. If this factor is not available, compressibility correction can be safely ignored using
a value of Z = 1.0.
