Controlled safety relief system

Controlled safety relief system

Cashco’s Controlled Safety Relief System includes advanced pilot-operated and spring-loaded vents designed to deliver precise overpressure protection, tight resealing, and configurable venting pathways. These systems play a critical role in maintaining structural safety, minimizing emissions, and ensuring regulatory compliance across industries handling volatile or blanketed storage tanks.

Product Categories

  • Model 5500: Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Vent (Pipe‐Away)
  • Model 6K00: Pressure/Vacuum Relief Vent with Flame Arrestor
  • Model 1078: Pilot Operated Blanketing & Relief Valve

Shared Key Features

  • Set Point Accuracy: Each unit ships with certified test certificates; Model 5500 offers ±2% accuracy; Model 6K00 likewise guarantees verified seat pressure.
  • Tight Shutoff: Bubble-tight seals reduce product loss and emissions under zero pressure differential.
  • Modular, Top Entry Design: Pilots, diaphragms, and seats maintainable without removing the unit from the tank.
  • Compliance Standards: All models conform to API 2000 and ISO 28300; 6K00 meets ATEX & ISO 16852 flame arrestor criteria.
  • Material Options: Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum bodies; 316SS or Hastelloy trim; elastomers include FKM, EPDM.
  • Pressure Range: From very low (inches WC) to 15 psig set points across models.

Individual Model Features


Model 5500 – Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Vent

Pilot operated relief vent suited for tanks requiring piped emissions control.

  • Operating Pressure: Adjustable 1.2 in WC up to 15 psig; ±2% accuracy with certificate
  • Temperature: Standard industrial carbon/alloy stainless materials.
  • Flow & Cv: Available in sizes 2″–12″ (DN50–DN300); high-capacity pilot allows full lift and precise control
  • Line Size/Connections: Flanged; 2″ to 12″ sizes
  • Leakage Class: Bubble-tight, air-cushioned pallet seating minimizes leakage
  • Standards: Meets API 2000/ISO 28300; pilot provides tight shutoff and pipe-away capability
  • Maintenance: Top-entry design; pilot and valve internals serviceable; self-draining housing reduces freeze and clog

Model 6K00 – Pressure/Vacuum Relief Vent with Flame Arrestor

Spring loaded breather valve for tank vapor control with integrated flame protection.

  • Operating Pressure: +5 to +50 mbar; vacuum −2.5 to −50 mbar (other settings on request)
  • Temperature: Service temperature up to approximately +60 °C
  • Flow & Cv: Covered line sizes 2″–12″; capacity sized per API 2000 formula for tank vapor requirements
  • Connections: Flanged 150#, DIN PN10; DN50–DN300 range
  • Leakage Class: Meets ISO 28300/API 2000 seat leakage standards
  • Standards: ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, ISO 16852 flame arrestor certified; independent explosion protection
  • Maintenance: Flame arrestor elements removable for cleaning; modular design allows service without full disassembly

Model 1078 – Pilot Operated Blanketing & Relief Valve

Pilot-operated valve delivering precision blanketing and overpressure relief in inerted tanks.

  • Operating Pressure: Inlet 30–200 psig (2–13.7 bar); outlet 0.5 in WC to 14 psig (1.24 mbar–0.96 bar)
  • Temperature: Specified up to at least ambient/industrial; pilot control ensures stability across temp variation
  • Flow & Cv: 1″ and 2″ line sizes with selectable flow plug options (10–75%) to suit Cv requirement
  • Connections: FNPT, integral RF flanges, weld neck RF flanges—1″ DN25, 2″ DN50
  • Leakage Class: Bubble-tight closure with pilot balanced seat irrespective of supply pressure
  • Standards: Pilot set point verifiable on-site without flushing tank; designed for stable blanketing control
  • Maintenance: Top-entry pilot and internals serviceable; recommends annual lubrication and verification

Applications

  • Petrochemical & Oil & Gas: Vapor control, emergency pressure relief, flame protection.
  • Storage Tanks: Both inerted (1078) and atmospheric (6K00, 5500).
  • Chemical Process Vessels: Precision relief and fugitive emissions control.
  • Environmental & Safety: Tight-shutoff to reduce VOC emissions and protect personnel/equipment.

Notable & Unique Features

  • Pressure tolerance: Models regulate from inches of water column to 15 psi.
  • Certifications: ATEX compliance for flame protection; API and ISO for venting and leak control.
  • Bubble-tight sealing: Standard prevents evaporation or gas loss.
  • Self-draining 5500 body: Prevents condensate in cold climates.
  • Modular cartridges and pilots: Simplify maintenance across models.
  • Pilot verification without flow: Saves blanketing gas—especially critical for Model 1078.
