Weight-loaded safety valves

Weight-loaded safety valves use a counterweight mechanism to activate pressure relief in the system. They are intended for simple steam and process applications where reliable overpressure protection is required without the use of a spring mechanism.

  • Design: weight-loaded valve (direct loading)
  • Activation: mechanical, using a counterweight
  • Testing standard: EN 12266 / DIN 3230
  • Pressure rating: PN 16
  • Media: steam and process gases
  • Adjustment: set by counterweight position
  • Industrial application
