Hydrogen Pressure Reflief Device - BPAV™ - Buckling Pin API Valve

  • BS&B produces fast acting/full opening buckling pin activated pressure relief devices (inline and angle discharge) designed to protect personnel, equipment and the environment from the dangers of overpressure.
  • Buckling pin pressure relief devices combine the accuracy of rupture disks with the ability to be ‘field- reset’ while remaining installed after an overpressure event.
  • Buckling pin technology provides outstanding resistance to operating pressure conditions.
  • Buckling pin devices are well suited to cyclic service pressure conditions.
  • Operating under compression, the buckling pin is not subject to tensile fatigue failure.
  • The BPRV can be subjected to pressure cycles up to its maximum operating pressure ratio with negligible impact to service life.

Key features

  • Sizes from 1" x 1½" to 8" x 10" (25mm x 40mm to 200mm x 250mm)
  • A back pressure independent device that is suitable for variable or constant back pressures
  • Externally reset in minutes, without the need to open the pipeline
  • Continuous processing (fast inline external reset)
  • Hazardous service (limits operator exposure)
  • High flow capacity – no orifice design with high Kd of 0.8 for Gas and 0.686 for Liquid
  • High operating pressure to set pressure ratio, 95% on minimum.
  • ASME “UD” stamped, section XIII
  • European Pressure Equipment Directive “CE” marked

Applications

  • Suitable for hydrogen applications.
