Operation
Down Force on Main Valve Piston

In the normal closed position, full system
pressure is sensed at the pressure pick-
up in the main valve inlet. This pressure
is transmitted through the pilot and into
the dome (volume above the main valve
piston). Because the piston seal area is
greater than the main seat sealing area,
the net force on the piston is downward,
keeping the valve tightly closed. The
higher the system pressure, the greater
the downward force on the piston —
exactly the opposite of direct spring
operated valves. 0 Set

Series 500 Soft Seated Valve
The Anderson Greenwood Series 500 is a

unique soft seated safety relief valve de-
signed to handle higher temperatures. It
was created with a specific design objec-
tive: to decrease the leakage associated
with metal-seated safety relief valves
under extreme operating temperature con-
ditions.
The result is a modulating, soft-seated,

pilot operated valve offering premium
tightness with the ability to handle temper-
atures from -65°F to 515°F [-54°C to
268°C] and a set pressure range of 15
to 720 psig [1.03 to 49.6 barg].
The soft seat in the Series 500 main valve

is more resistant to particulate damage
than a metal seat, has a longer service
life, and can be quickly replaced while the
valve body remains installed in the line.

Series 800 Modulating Valve
The Series 800 modulating valve utilizes

the most advanced design in pilot operated
valves. The non-flowing, modulating pilot
can be set at pressures up to 6170 psig
[425.52 barg]. Under these process condi-
tions, the pilot and main valve can be tight
up to 98 percent of set pressure.
Since the pilot is modulating, the main

valve lifts proportionally according to de-
mand, restricting product loss to only that
which needs to be relieved to prevent the
process pressure from exceeding the
code allowance. The pilot provides stable
lift even on hard liquid systems due to its
unique trim. The 800 Series can also be
used in gases or mixed phase lading flu-
ids, including dirty and/or wet services.
The Series 800 valve is available with the

following: effective orifice areas of 0.110 Features and Benefits • Increased System Output. Because

Sense Seal With no system pressure, the pilot inlet

As pressure is admitted to the main valve
inlet, it enters the pilot through a filter
screen. Pressure is then transmitted
Main Valve through passages in the feedback piston,
past the inlet seat, into the main valve
Dome dome, which causes the main valve piston
to remain closed.
As system pressure increases and ap-

proaches valve set pressure, it acts
upward on the sense O-ring seal, with
the feedback piston moving upward to
close the inlet seat. This seals in the main
valve dome pressure, since the outlet seat
is also closed. A small, further increase in

sure constant at the required flow. Full
main valve lift, and therefore full capacity,
is achieved with relatively little overpres-
sure. As system pressure decreases
below set pressure, the feedback piston
moves downward and opens the inlet seat
to admit system pressure to the dome.
This closes the main valve. The pilot ex-
haust is always piped to the main valve
outlet.

valve capacity is the main valve nozzle bore.
For a restricted lift valve, the area controlling
the valve capacity is the ‘curtain area’ be-

Outlet Flange Ratings
When pressure relief valves are used for valves discharging direct to the atmos-
