NH3

Relief valves for NH3 applications

NH3 relief valves are designed to discharge excess pressure within mainly above and underground containers, skid tanks and bulk plant installations in which they function as primary relief valves.

Product description

NH3 relief valves have internal 'pop-action' functionality which enables the valves to discharge at full capacity and not gradually if the pressure exceeds the permitted limit. Afterwards the valve will automatically return to its original position and firmly reseat.
