Threaded Safety Relief Valves Spring Loaded General
LESER s compact performance valves are spring loaded

safety relief valves of specially compact design, developed in close cooperation with plant engineers and service specialists to protect special processes and installations against overpressure. Extensive testing at the LESER ASMEcertified test lab together with up to date manufacturing processes ensure the reliability of these state of the art products.
LESER s compact performance valves are designed and

manufactured to highest standards and compliant with and approved according to ASME (Sec. VIII, Div. 1), the Canadian CRN, the European PED standard (CE), the German AD 2000Merkblatt A2 and those of many other countries, covering requirements from end-users, OEM s and engineering companies worldwide.

Metal Seat (Type 437)
The LESER metal seats (disc and nozzle) are lapped to optical flatness to ensure a tight shut off. LESER safety relief valves are supplied with a standard leak tightness according to API 527. Type 4373 Standard material for the disc is a hardened stainless steel. The combination of a hard disc material and a softer seat material (316L) provides for improved wear resistance and longer product life. Type 4374 Disc and seat are provided in 316L material for highest corrosion resistance. Any other material which is available from bar stock can be supplied as well (e.g. Hastelloy, Monel, Alloy20,).

Stellited sealing surfaces For high temperature applications, or applications with abrasive fluids wear resistant sealing surfaces are recommended. The sealing surfaces of the disc, seat or nozzle can be stellited by build-upwelding. The minimum thickness of the stellite is 0.06 inch. In addition to the corrosion resistance, the stellited surface also offers a high resistance to impact and sudden changes in temperature.

Acc. to ASME Sec. VIII the certified coefficient of discharge K is calculated by K = 0.9 * KD For sizing acc. to ASME Sec. VIII K must be used in the sizing equations.
Rated slope Within the capacity certification according to ASME Sec. VIII the coefficients of discharge for series 437 are issued as rated slope values instead of K values.

Threaded Safety Relief Valves Spring Loaded Material Options Type 4594
The Heavy Duty Design of Type 459 offers the possibility to easily obtain special material versions. The fact that all product wetted parts are machined from bar stock materials makes it easier and faster to fulfill almost all material requirements according to the material availability. Two special material levels are available: q Level 1 special materials for the trim = wetted parts in closed position q Level 2 special material for trim and outlet = wetted parts in open position

Threaded Safety Relief Valves Spring Loaded Accessories and Options Balanced Bellows
Balanced Bellows
Application Bellows protect the guides, moving parts and the spring from dirt, corrosion, impurities or temperature to guarantee the proper function of the safety relief valve. Additionally they provide for back pressure compensation 1. Design Series 459 with balanced bellows is provided with a bonnet spacer to house the bellows. The spacer serves for cooling and shields the bellows against turbulences during discharge to avoid vibration and to guarantee longer lifetime.

The bellows for type 459/462 is back pressure compensating for orifice size 0.206 Inch2 (133 mm2). It is over compensating for orifice size 0.099 Inch2 (63,6 mm2) and under compensating for orifice size 0.373 Inch2 (241 mm2). Please ask factory for details. 2 Type 4594 with heavy duty body: up to 1022 F, the temperature limits for type 462 depend on other parts e.g. soft seal materials. 3 The so called built up back pressure limit defines limit for which the proper function of the pressure relief valve is ensured. The superimposed back pressure limit of a bellows refers only to the static stability of the bellows design and does not consider the influence of the backpressure on the opening and closing of a pressure relief valve.
Conversion kits are available for an easy change from a conventional design to a balanced bellows design. Conversion kits contain all necessary parts which must be replaced (bellows, spacer, spindle and gaskets). Please refer to page 56 Spare Parts.

Threaded Safety Relief Valves Spring Loaded Accessories and Options Metal Seat
Metal Seat (Type 459)
The LESER metal seats (disc and nozzle) are lapped to optical flatness to ensure a tight shut off. LESER safety relief valves are supplied with a standard leak tightness according to API 527. Type 4592 / Type 4593 Standard material for the disc is a hardened stainless steel. The combination of a hard disc material and a softer seat material (316L) provides for improved wear resistance and longer product life. Type 4594 Disc and seat are provided in 316L material for highest corrosion resistance. Any other material which is available from bar stock can be supplied as Monel, well (e.g. Hastelloy, Alloy20,).

The sealing surfaces of the disc, seat or nozzle can be stellited by build-upwelding. The minimum thickness of the stellite is 0.06 inch. In addition to the corrosion resistance, the stellited surface also offers a high resistance to impact and sudden changes in temperature.

Threaded Safety Relief Valves Spring Loaded Accessories and Options Heating Jacket
Heating Jacket
Application Pressure relief valves in systems to be protected from media which are viscous, sticky or have a tendency to crystallize out of solution can be fitted with a heating jacket. For type 459 the outlet body is fitted with a fabricated heating jacket. The position of the heating connections is shown in the drawing.
Balanced Bellows Design For safety relief valves with balanced bellows, the bonnet spacer required to house the bellows is fitted with an additional heating jacket. Both heating jackets are joined by a tubing.
Specifications of the heating jacket The operating data for the heating jacket are shown on a separate name plate.

Lift Indicator
(proximity switch)
Lift indicators are an important component for automation. They are used to monitor operating status. As an option, Series 459 can be provided with an inductive proximity switch. The lift indicator will indicate an opening of the pressure relief valve when the vessel pressure has increased so that the valve opens with a pop. LESER provides DC proximity switches type N using two-wire technology. These intrinsically safe proximity switches can be used in explosion hazard area zone 0. Other types of switches can be used as well. The lift indicator option is available for series 459 in combination with the packed lever H4 either with or without proximity switch. The connection size is M18 x 1. A = closed position B = open position
