Introduction
The Parker HPRV relief valve provides an automatic protection mechanism for process instrumentation systems.
When upstream pressure exceeds the closing force exerted by the valve’s spring, the lower stem opens and permits
flow through the valve’s outlet port - which can be ducted to a safe place or released to atmosphere. Flow rate
increases proportionately to the increase in upstream pressure.
CE marked and certified to the highest Category-IV level of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), the HPRV
valve’s design provides users with accurate and consistent cracking and resealing operation. The valve’s innovative
seat design additionally operates over an extremely wide pressure range (150 to 6000 psi, 10.3 to 414 bar),
providing a universal solution for the vast majority of instrumentation applications.
Pressure settings are externally adjustable. Eight different spring ranges provide greater system sensitivity and
enhanced performance.
