Liquid Surge (F9000)
Liquid Surge Relief Valve
A pilot-less version of the F7000 series, this valve provides quick relief of pressure surges in oil pipelines or other liquid systems. Piston opens against fixed volume of gas in integral dome reservoir. Elastomer seat for tight shutoff. Liquid pipelines operate under pressure. If a pressure surge occurs due to a valve opening or closing incorrectly, or a pump comes on line the result in a non-compressible fluid could be catastrophic. The Flow Safe F9000 surge relief valve has speed of response performance you can depend on.
