Series
W2601 and W2602 Threaded Safety Relief Valves
Application
These valves are for general purpose gas and air services, and are
recommended for over-pressure protection on separators, compressors, pressure vessels, heater-treaters, gathering and transmission
lines, meter runs and other systems where the rated capacities of
the valve are commensurate with the requirements of the system.
All of these valves are manufactured in accordance with the ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and have been capacity tested and
certified by the National Board to meet the requirements of Section
VIII of the ASME Code, as signified accordingly by the symbols UV
and NB on their nameplates.
NOTE: These valves are designed for relief to atmospheric pressure only on the downstream side, and are not intended for use in
a closed system. Any backpressure applied to the downstream side
of the valve will result in improper pressure relief.

Sizing of Safety Relief Valves

Given certain information as follows, Safety Relief Valves may be
sized by use of various formulas prescribed by Appendix 11, Section
VIII, Division I of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for

capacities of orifices. The information as shown below allows sizing

using the coefficient method.
