Model BPH-05  

BACK PRESSURE-REGULATING-RELIEF VALVE

See Pricing Table Below



  • Piston operated
  • 1/8"-1/2" NPT THD (larger sizes can be made available)
  • Orifice sizes 0.047-0.25 inch (1.2-6.4 mm)  
  • Control/Relief pressures up to 4500 PSI (320 Bar) with multiple spring ranges (see table below)
  • Materials: 316 Stainless steel valve, Hastelloy Valve, Titanium Valve & Tantalum valve

Features

  • Pressure-containing parts made from solid bar stock materials — unlike castings which have wall thickness variations.
  • Body: A stainless steel valve is our standard and is available in type 316SS and 303SS. Special alloys are available to make a Monel valve, titanium valve, brass valve, and Hastelloy valve.
  • Piston Valve/Poppet: Type 316 or 303 stainless steel is standard. For very high pressures, hardened stainless steel is avaialable.
  • Seal: Standard elastomers are Viton, PTFE,  EPDM,  Kalrez & other elastomers are also available.
  • In-line porting is the standard piping arrangement.

Applications

This pressure control valve is used for very high back pressure control applications such as maintaining constant pump discharge pressures, bypassing excessive pressures from various types of process equipment, and wherever a constant pressure must be maintained in a process or piping system. Because of the needle nose piston, this valve is also used for relieving high pressures at very low flows. The 303 stainless steel valve can  be used for non-corrosive or mildly corrosive fluids, but can be upgraded to 316SS or even Hastelloy C276, Titanium, Monel or even Tantalum for very agressive applications. Use only clean filtered or strained liquids or gases to remove debris or other solid matter that might cause internal clogging or improper operation of this precision machined valve. Install a filter or strainer with a fine wire mesh (at least #20 mesh) before the inlet of the back pressure valve. High-pressure in-line strainer fittings, basket strainers, and fine wire mesh filters can be purchased from Stra-Val.

When used with high pressure air or gases, the thermal effects of rapid expansion need to be considered, especially if moisture is present in the gas which could result in the valve freezing up and making it temporarily inoperable while in a frozen state. Several preventative measures may need to be considered, such a moisture removal, limiting pressure reduction in stages, or even heating the valve and related piping.



Options

Select from the material options displayed below. Other options available, but not not priced, are:

  1. Panel Mounting,
  2. Hand wheel or hand knob
  3. Locking cap
  4. Hardened Piston and seat 


Principle of Operation

This is a direct-acting back pressure-relief valve with an adjustable spring operating against a piston subjected to the inlet pressure of the valve. Increasing the spring compression will increase the system or line pressure to be maintained. Reducing the spring compression will reduce this pressure. An increase in system pressure beyond the set point will cause the piston to open and relieve the excess pressure through the outlet port of the back pressure relief valve. The needle nose piston results in very smooth pressure control not possible with large orifice, flat nose pistons designed for quick pressure release
