How does a hydraulic relief valve work?

A relief valve works by providing an excessively pressurized fluid an open path to tank with the goal of reducing work port pressure. As fluid pressure begins to rise, force from that pressure is applied to the bottom of the spool or poppet, similar to what occurs to the piston of a cylinder.

What is a piston relief valve?

Relief valves are devices used to limit maximum pressure in hydraulic systems. When system pressure starts to exceed the pressure setting of the relief valve, a controlled amount of hydraulic fluid bypasses through the tank port and limits the system pressure to the valve setting.

How do you install a relief valve?

Stand-alone relief valves are relatively simple to set properly. After installing a relief valve in a circuit, with the pressure port connected to the pressure line and the tank port connected directly to the reservoir, adjust the relief valve to its lowest possible pressure setting.

What holds a relief valve closed?

2. Pilot-operated relief valve has orifice through piston, which is held closed by force of light spring and system pressure acting on larger piston area at spring end. As system pressure rises, the pressure in passage B rises as well, and, when it reaches the setting of the pilot valve, the pilot valve opens.

Who owns husco?

In January 1968 the Koehring company acquired Husco with Schneider remaining as President of the company.

What should pressure relief valve be set at?

The relief valve setting(s) should be at least 10% or 15-psig, whichever is greater, above the maximum operating pressure. Where unstable process conditions exist, this differential should be at least 10% above the maximum operating pressure or 25-psig, whichever is greater.

What do relief valves do?

Relief valves are used to limit the amount of compressed air pressure in a system so that it doesn’t build up above a pre-set level and cause damage to machinery or people. These types of valves are therefore used to stop over-pressurisation, where air pressure exceeds the maximum allowed for that system.
