Bleed Valves
RB Series
Introduction
Bleed valves can be used on instrument devices such as multi-valve manifolds or gauge valves to vent signal line pressure to atmosphere before removal of an instrument or to assist in calibration.
Features
◎ Compact design for easy installation
◎ Hardened stem and tip to extend cycle life
◎ Working pressure up to: 10000 psig (690 bar)
◎ Working temperature: -65 F to 850 F (-54 C to 454 C)
◎ Variety of end connections Leak-tight performance testing with Nitrogen or compressed air for every valve at the rated pressure (not higher than 6000 psig) to meet the requirement of no visible leak
Caution
When installing a bleed valve, position the vent tube to direct system fluid away from operating personnel. Always open bleed valves slowly. These valves contain no packing, so some fluid leakage will occur when the valves are opened. Operating personnel must protect themselves from exposure to system fluids.
