The vast array of options & accessories for POPRVs is a true differentiator when it comes to application versatility and flexibility. The following slides outline some of the various options and accessories available as well as their function, applicable specifications, and availability.
1. 1
Remote Sense Option

Inlet Line Loss > 3%
Creates Valve
Chatter
Remote Sense
Eliminates
Valve Chatter
Eliminate Valve Chatter with Remote Sense Option
Sense the pressure at an alternate
location rather at the inlet of the main
valve
Availability
This is a standard option
available upon request. The
remote since tubing would be
installed during the installation
and commissioning of the
POPRV.
Function
Inlet line loss >3% can create
instability in a relief valve
known as valve chatter. This
instability can damage parts,
create leakage, damage the
valve, or even the entire
system. Remote sense option
can sense the pressure at an
alternate location (typically
closer to the protected vessel)
eliminating valve chatter and
improving stability.
2. Allows the stroking of the valve with an auxiliary media
(e.g.,air ornitrogen)
