What is a valve
Security

The safety valve plays a fundamental role in guaranteeing safety in the handling of pressurised fluids in various industrial applications in Colombia. Its main function is to efficiently regulate and evacuate the flow of fluids in containers, installations and equipment, preventing the pressure from constantly exceeding the maximum permitted limits. With our safety valves, you can have the peace of mind of having a reliable and resistant system that protects your operations and complies with the most demanding safety standards in the Colombian market.

Features and functions
of a safety relief valve

In the Colombian market, safety valves play an essential role in protecting both people and installations. These devices are installed in various equipment and installations where it is crucial to guarantee maximum pressure limits. In Colombia, conditions can vary and pressure limits can be challenged due to various circumstances, such as overpressure, control failures, temperature fluctuations and pressure peaks.

Our safety valves are specifically designed to deal with these situations and guarantee reliable protection. They meet the most demanding standards in the Colombian market, offering a robust and efficient solution. With our state-of-the-art technology, you can be confident that your facilities and operations will be optimally protected, providing security and peace of mind for your business in Colombia.

What types of Valves
Security are there?

Direct acting spring loaded valves

In the Colombian market, direct acting spring loaded valves are widely used and recognised. This system has become widespread due to its efficiency and reliability.

By means of a spring mechanism, we achieve that the system overpressures act directly on the closing mechanism of the valve, releasing the pressure according to the characteristics of the actuating spring. This system, besides being simple, stands out for its reliability and generally offers an economical option.

In Colombia, where safety and performance are paramount, our direct acting spring loaded valves are the ideal choice. Rely on our proven technology and enjoy a reliable and efficient protection system in your installations.

Pilot-operated valves

In the Colombian market, pilot operated valves are a prominent option. This indirect-acting system allows the valve to respond to overpressure by means of a secondary bypass that senses the pressure.

Unlike the direct acting system, the reaction of pilot operated valves is slower and more progressive, making them particularly suitable for systems that experience large pressure surges. In Colombia, where conditions can be challenging, our pilot operated valves are a reliable solution to mitigate the effects of pressure spikes.

Thanks to their design and operation, these valves guarantee precise control and efficient protection for your installations. Trust in our experience and enjoy a piloted valve system that adapts to the specific needs of your business in Colombia.

At Zaes, as manufacturers of safety relief valves with more than 60 years of experience, we are proud to offer high quality products designed specifically for the Colombian market.

We know how important it is to have reliable and durable solutions for your installations in Colombia. That is why we are committed to providing you with safety valves that meet the highest standards of the local industry.

Our team of experts ensures that every valve we manufacture passes rigorous quality controls. This ensures that our product delivers optimum performance and reliable protection for your operations.

The correct handling and installation of a safety relief valve are key to avoid malfunctioning of the device.

Avoid components that cause pressure losses (shut-off valves, pipe extensions, etc.) between the system/equipment and the safety relief valve.
Always install in a vertical position.
Clean the inlet and outlet connections to avoid impurities that could damage the sealing system.
The diameter of the connection must be at least the same as the valve inlet.

How do you calculate a safety valve?

For the correct sizing of a safety relief valve, it is essential to know the following data

Tare pressure
Safety relief valve relief capacity or flow rate
Characteristics of the fluid to be relieved
International standard calculation to be performed to use the formulas required in such formula (API, ASME, BS, EN/ISO, NB, GOST, etc.).

Differences between Relief Valves and
Safety Valve

There are significant differences between relief valves and safety relief valves, although both have the same purpose of preventing overpressure in systems at risk of overpressure.

The main distinction lies in how they work and how they protect the equipment or system in question:

Relief Valves: These valves prioritise the maintenance of flow within the installation, relieving excessive pressure internally. Under normal conditions, they remain closed and allow normal fluid flow. However, if the pressure starts to increase progressively, the valve will open to release both pressure and fluid out of the installation, preventing damage or failure of the system.

Safety Valves: On the other hand, safety relief valves protect the equipment or system by venting fluid out of the system in the event of overpressure. They act as a more robust safety measure, as their design allows for a faster and more direct release of excessive pressure. When the pressure reaches a critical point, the valve opens automatically and directs the fluid to a safe point outside the installation, thus preventing potential damage.

In short, while relief valves relieve pressure internally and release fluid only when necessary, safety valves act more proactively, evacuating both pressure and fluid out of the system to effectively protect it.

It is important to select the right valve according to the specific needs and risks of each system in the Colombian market. If you have further questions or need more information, I will be happy to help you.
