3. 

Make sure the pallets (valves) of the safety valve don’t clamp. If the pallets are shortly lifted by hand, 
they should seal off immediately and should not linger. The safety valve and the pallets can be very 
hot, so it might be convenient to use a tool to lift the pallets up. 

4.  Are the silicon rings of the pallets in order? Disassembly the safety valve according to 8.1.3 

‘Methods for the revision of the vacuum-overpressure safety valve.’ and inspect the silicon rings on 
irregularities and their suppleness.  

 

8.1.2  Criteria for the replacing of the vacuum and overpressure pallets.  

During the check-up of the vacuum and overpressure pallets the following criteria have to be taken into 
account. These determine if the pallets have to be replaced or not. The pallets have to be replaced if: 

1. 

One of the pallets doesn’t seal off correctly automatically. The pallets are always replaced in a set. 
So the overpressure pallet, operating pressure pallet and vacuum pallet need to be renewed as a 
set. 

2.  It is contractually agreed upon that the vacuum and overpressure pallets will undergo a preventive 

renewal every two years.  This has to be mentioned in the maintenance contract of the PRESSCON 
expansion system. 

 

 

 

Example: This safety valve as the pressure of ‘’25-20-2’’, which means: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

De smallest valve opens at 

20 mbar   

(Operating pressure) 

(Figure 3 no. 1) 

The big valve opens at 

25 mbar   

(Maximum pressure) 

(Figure 3 no. 2) 

The vacuum valve opens at  -2 mbar   

(Vacuum)  

 

(Figure 3 no. 3) 

 
If the pressure is lower than 20 mbar the safety valve should be closed; 
If the pressure is higher than 20 mbar the smallest valve should be open; 
If the pressure is higher than 25 mbar the big valve should be open too. 
 
 
 
 
 
De smallest valve opens at 

 

20 mbar   

(Operating pressure) 

(Figure 3 no. 1) 

The big valve opens at 

 

25 mbar   

(Maximum pressure) 

(Figure 3 no. 2) 

The vacuum valve opens at   

-2 mbar   

(Vacuum)  

 

(Figure 3 no. 3) 

 

If the pressure is lower than 20 mbar the safety valve should be closed; 

If the pressure is higher than 20 mbar the smallest valve should be open; 

If the pressure is higher than 25 mbar the big valve should be open too.
