The Model 6K00 is designed, manufactured and tested according to Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX114) and ISO 16852 and meets or exceeds seat leakage acc. International Standards (ISO28300 and API2000).
What is a pressure/vacuum conservation vent?
A pressure/vacuum conservation vent, often referred to as a breather valve or pressure vacuum relief valve, is a safety device used in industrial equipment, tanks, pipelines, or storage vessels to regulate pressure variations within the system.
The Model 6K00 provides three primary functions:
Pressure Relief
When there is a buildup of excessive pressure within a closed system due to factors such as thermal expansion of liquids, chemical reactions, or external heat sources, the pressure relief valve opens to release the excess pressure, preventing potential damage to the equipment or structure.
Vacuum Relief
When there is a vacuum or negative pressure condition in the system, often caused by changes in ambient temperature or fluid withdrawal, the vacuum relief valve opens to allow air into the system, preventing the vessel from collapsing or being damaged due to the vacuum.
Flame Protection:
This component helps to mitigate the risk of fire or explosions by disrupting the propagation of flames, sparks, or flammable gases from reaching the potentially volatile contents inside the protected container. The flame arrestor functions by quenching and cooling any flames or hot gases passing through it, thereby reducing the risk of ignition within the system.
