Clean Service Relief Valves from Rupture Pin Technology

The clean service pressure relief valve from Rupture Pin Technology (RPT) uses a precise pin as the sensor and actuator.

The valve is downstream balanced so it senses only upstream pressure, thus downstream containment vessel pressure will not change the set pressure. Accurate, low set pressures are possible.

RPT has over 25 years experience building relief valves and takes pride in making custom valves to take on “Mission Impossible” projects.

    While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
