Pressure / temperature limits

Note: When the BDV1 and BDV2 are fitted for use as blowdown

valves on other products, the limiting conditions are that of the

lowest rated part. See the appropriate TI as listed in the table below

Safety information, installation and maintenance

For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions

(IM-P600-02) supplied with the product.

Warning - Pressure

BDV1 and BDV2 valves are generally used to depressurise a system /

vessel prior to maintenance or removal. Do not assume that the system

has depressurised even if a pressure guage indicates zero.

Consider the direction of the depressurised flow and ensure that this

will not cause a hazard to yourself or others. Suitable tubing should

be fitted to ensure a safe discharge.

Warning - Temperature

Allow time for temperature to normalise after depressurisation to

avoid danger of burns.

Installation note:

Where BDV1 or BDV2 depressurisation valves are fitted to PC3_ or

PC4_ pipeline connectors see IM-P128-06.

PMOB Maximum operating backpressure is 100% of the

upstream pressure

Kv values
