KITO – Pressure Relief Valves

Pressure Relief Valves

A pressure relief valve is a safety device that is commonly used in industry to protect a system or equipment from excess pressure. The valve is designed to automatically open and release pressure when the system pressure reaches a certain setpoint, preventing damage to the system or equipment and ensuring the safety of the people operating it. The benefits of a pressure relief valve include increased safety and protection for the system or equipment, as well as peace of mind for the people operating it. Additionally, the use of a pressure relief valve can help to prevent costly repairs and downtime by protecting the system or equipment from damage caused by excess pressure. CMC Technologies is the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for KITO who design and manufacture low-pressure vacuum and overpressure relief devices.

KITO – Pressure Relief Valves with Flame Arrestor Elements

A comprehensive selection of valves for safe pressure relief in an ever increasing range of critical applications.

Deflagration and endurance burning proof pressure relief valves

KITO® DS/KS-IIA-…-A, K

Application:

As venting device for installation on storage tanks incorporating an explosion and endurance burning flame arrester element and a PRV to allow for the passage of excess pressure but prevent or minimize the loss of gas/vapours depending on valve adjustment.
Usually mounted on top of the tank in conjunction with a vacuum relief valve. Approved for all materials of the explosion group IIA with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) > 0.9.

KITO® DS/KS-IIB1-…

Application:

As an end-of-line flame arrester, explosion and endurance burning proof for all inflammable liquids and vapors of explosion group IIB1 and also for alcohols with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) ≥ 0.85 mm.
Safety valve for out breathing pipes of storage tanks as a protection against overpressure. By appropriate pressure adjustment the gasification losses of the storage product are prevented or strongly limited.
Usually mounted on the top of the tank in conjunction with a vacuum relief valve (see KITO® VS/KS-IIB3).

KITO® DS/KS-1-IIA-…-A, K

Application:

As venting device for installation on storage tanks incorporating an explosion and endurance burning flame arrester element and a PRV to allow for the passage of excess pressure but prevent or minimize the loss of gas/vapours depending on valve adjustment. Usually mounted on top of the tank in conjunction with a vacuum relief valve.
Approved for all materials of the explosion group IIA with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) > 0.9.

Pressure relief valves

KITO® DS/o

Application:

As venting device for installation on storage tanks with a PRV to protect against hazardous excess pressure but minimize the loss of gas/vapours.
This device does not protect against the hazard of explosion or stabilized burning.

KITO® DS/o-1

Application:

As venting device for installation on storage tanks with a PRV to protect against hazardous excess pressure but minimize the loss of gas/vapours.
This device does not protect against the hazard of explosion or stabilized burning.

KITO® DS/oP

Application:

As PRV/venting device to prevent dangerous excess pressures that may be attained in storage containers and silos in which granulate and powder products are stored.
All moving parts are outside the storage room.

Deflagration and endurance burning proof pressure relief valves

KITO® DS/M-IIA-…-K, A

Application:

As breather/venting safety device incorporating an explosion and endurance burning proof flame arrester element for installation on storage tanks containing particular categories of inflammable liquids providing for reliable and safe operation whilst ensuring protection against any possible flashback. The PRV allows the passage of hazardous excess pressure but will minimize the loss of gas/vapours depending on valve adjustment. Usually mounted on the top of the tank in conjunction with a vacuum relief valve.
Approved for all materials of the explosion group IIA with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) > 0.9.

KITO® DS/M-IIB1-…

Application:

As an end-of-line flame arrester element to protect vent openings of storage tanks. Explosion and endurance burning proof for all inflammable liquids and vapors of explosion group IIB1 and also for alcohols with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) ≥ 0.85 mm.
This device is not permitted to be installed in enclosed areas.
Installation on top of storage tanks, tank access covers or breather pipes.
The PRV allows the passage of hazardous excess pressure but will minimize the loss of gas/vapours depending on valve adjustment. Usually mounted on the top of the tank in conjunction with a vacuum relief valve.

Emergency vent with pressure relief valve

KITO® EV/O

Application:

As emergency venting device for installation on storage tanks with a PRV to protect against hazardous excess pressure but minimize the loss of gas/vapours.
Also suitable as replacement of a manhole.
