Leading Supplier of Proportional Relief Valves in China

Beyond Fluid offers proportional relief valves that open when system pressure reaches the set pressure and close when it falls below. Multiple springs are available to select different set pressure ranges. Back pressure (the pressure at the valve outlet) increases the set pressure of these valves.

These proportional relief valves open gradually with increasing pressure and do not have a rated capacity at a specific pressure rise (accumulation). A variety of end connections are available, including female/male NPT, BSPT, BSPP, metric threads, and double ferrule compression fittings.

These valves ensure precise pressure control and prevent spikes in hydraulic, gas, and fluid systems.

Feature:

  • Technical: Forged/Bar Stock
  • Connection: thread, weld, double ferrule
  • End connection size: 1/8″ to 1″, 6mm to 12mm
  • Material: Stainless steel 316, 316L, 304, 304L, 321, 904L

Operation

Relief Valve Operation

Relief valves OPEN when system pressure reaches the set pressure and CLOSE when system pressure falls below the set pressure.

  • High-pressure RA3 and RA4 series—select and install the spring that covers the required set pressure; apply the matching label to the cap.
  • Low-pressure RL3 and RL4 series—the spring is already installed.

❗ For valves not actuated for a period of time, initial relief pressure may be higher than the set pressure.

Set Pressure and Resealing Pressure

Set and Resealing Pressure
  • Set pressure is the upstream pressure at which the first indication of flow occurs. Set pressure of each valve after initial relief is repeatable within:
    • ±3.0 psig (0.20 bar) or ±5% (whichever is greater) of the initial set pressure at 60 to 80°F (15 to 26°C)
    • ±6.0 psig (0.40 bar) or ±20% (whichever is greater) of the initial set pressure below 60°F (15°C) and above 80°F (26°C)
  • Resealing pressure is the upstream pressure at which there is no indication of flow. Resealing pressure is always lower than set pressure.

Testing

Every proportional relief valve is tested for set and resealing performance.

Series Test Set Pressure
psig (bar)
Minimum Resealing Pressure as a Percentage of Set Pressure, %
RA3, RA4 100 to 200 (6.8 to 13.7) 50
RA3, RA4 850 to 1000 (58.5 to 68.9) 84
RL3, RL4 10 to 20 (0.7 to 1.3) 50
RL3, RL4 175 to 225 (12.0 to 15.5) 91

Back Pressure

Valve Pressure Info

High-Pressure Valves (RA3 and RA4 Series)

The effect of system back pressure is minimized by the design of these high-pressure valves.

Low-Pressure Valves (RL3 and RL4 Series)

System back pressure increases the set pressure of the valve. To compensate, multiply the back pressure by 0.8 and subtract the result from the desired set pressure. Use the result to pre-set the valve while back pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.

Applications

Instrument Ball Valves
Relief Valve Notes

Relief valves are proportional relief valves that open gradually as the pressure increases. Consequently, they do not have a capacity rating at a given pressure rise (accumulation), and they are not certified to ASME or any other codes.

❗ Some system applications require relief valves to meet specific safety codes. The system designer and user must determine when such codes apply and whether these relief valves conform to them.

❗ Beyond Fluid proportional relief valves should never be used as ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code safety relief devices.

❗ Beyond Fluid proportional relief valves are not “Safety Accessories” as defined in the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
