Safety, Relief & Pressure Reducing Valves

Pop Safety Valves vs. Relief Valves

There is a difference!

A Pop Safety Valve is used with gases, which include air and steam. Their design always includes a huddling chamber which utilizes the expansion forces of these gases to effect quick opening (“popping”) and closing actions. The difference between the opening and closing pressures is termed “blowdown”.

A Relief Valve is normally used for liquid service, although safety valves may also be used. Ordinarily, relief valves do not have an accentuated huddling chamber nor a regulator ring for varying or adjusting blowdown. Therefore, they operate with a relatively lazy motion, slowly opening as pressure increases and slowly closing as pressure decreases. Such relieving action affords suitable protection for vessels or systems where there is no need for instantaneous release of large volumes of fluids.

Spence Pilot-Operated Pressure Regulator

Spence offers the most complete line of interchangeable pilots and main valves to give you a custom-designed control system … at no extra cost!

With Spence, you can select from over 70 different pilots and 5 main valves to meet your exact control requirements. One size fits all sizes of main valves. By simply switching interchangeable pilots, one main valve can handle different control functions. Multiple control functions can be achieved by using two or more pilots on a single main valve.

Select from standard side or optional integral mountings and a wide choice of ratings and control ranges. Spence main valves are offered in iron, bronze or steel construction in 3/8'' through 12'' sizes.

Match functional and operating requirements of the Type ED Pressure Regulator with the Spence modular design concept.

Here’s how:

1. Choose a main valve to suit your operating conditions.

Spence Water Pressure Reducing Valves

These regulators are designed for dead-end water pressure reduction service. Because of their quick response, they are ideally suited for installations— such as domestic water service—where flow is intermittent and changes rapidly. Due to their balanced design, they are insensitive to varying initial pressure.
