Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to some of the most common questions
What is an Atmospheric Discharge Safety Valve?
An atmospheric discharge safety valve releases excess pressure directly into the surrounding atmosphere through open body ports without connected outlet piping. It is designed for non-hazardous, non-flammable gases like compressed air, nitrogen, and inert gases.
What are the advantages of Atmospheric Discharge Safety Valves?
Atmospheric Discharge Valves eliminate downstream outlet piping, reducing installation cost, weight, and space requirements. With no outlet restriction, they avoid backpressure and deliver full lift capacity immediately at set pressure.
What media can be vented with a Goetze Atmospheric Safety Valve?
Goetze Atmospheric Discharge Valves are suitable for neutral and non‑neutral liquids, air, gases, and steam. Typical applications include air receivers, compressors, pump protection, steam systems, and process vessels where direct atmospheric venting is allowed.
How do operators manually test a Goetze Atmospheric Safety Valve?
Many Goetze Atmospheric Valves can be supplied with manual lifting devices such as twist caps or lifting rings. These allow operators to manually lift the disc under appropriate operating conditions to verify mechanical movement, following plant safety procedures and certification requirements.
