Stainless Steel Breather Valve
Stainless Steel Breather Valve is a crucial component in various industrial applications, particularly in storage tanks and vessels, to maintain pressure equilibrium and prevent over-pressurization or vacuum conditions.
Key Features:
Material: Typically made from stainless steel (SS316, SS304), offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
Function: Designed to allow the tank to "breathe" during filling and emptying, preventing the build-up of excessive pressure or vacuum.
Overview
Specifications:
1. Pressure Setting: Adjustable to a range of pressures, commonly from a few inches of water column (W.C.) to several psi.
2. Vacuum Setting: Similarly adjustable to a specified vacuum range.
3. Flow Capacity: Defined by the valve size and design, ensuring adequate ventilation under normal and emergency conditions.
4. Connection Sizes: Available in various sizes to fit different tank and piping configurations, typically ranging from 1/2 inch to several inches in diameter.
5. Sealing Material: The sealing elements are often made from materials like PTFE, Viton, or EPDM, suitable for various chemical environments.
6. Operating Temperature: Capable of operating within a wide temperature range, depending on the materials used.
7. Advantages:
8. Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel construction provides long-term durability and resistance to harsh chemicals.
9. Safety: Prevents tank rupture or implosion by managing pressure variations.
10. Compliance: Helps in meeting environmental and safety regulations.
