Introduction
Today’s industrial needs are being driven by requirements for
high capacity, leak-tight safety relief valves to reduce fugitive
emissions and to save customer product. The FLOW SAFE
F7000/8000 Series Pilot Operated Safety Relief Valves, with
accurate operational characteristics, are engineered to provide
superior performance for today’s industries.

F7000/8000 SERIES
OPERATION
System pressure is routed from below the valve through
the pilot valve to the dome cavity of the main valve. This
pressure, acting on a piston (dome) area Ad larger than
the seat area (As), creates an effective downward force
( F=Px( A d -A s )) holding the main valve piston down in
the closed position.
At the designated set pressure, the pilot valve
reduces the dome pressure, proportional to demand
if modulating (F300 or F500), or fully if snap-acting (F200),
and allows the piston to go into lift. Once the system
pressure is relieved, the pilot valve closes at the preset
blowdown, allowing the dome to repressurize and the
main valve piston to close. When closed, dome pressure
acting on a differential area between the top and bottom
of the piston assembly, creates a downward force on
the seat providing leak-tight shutoff.
The F7000/8000 utilizes an elastomeric or plastic seat
on the piston to achieve leak-tight seating. A dynamic
piston seal prevents any leakage from the dome to the
discharge. Wear rings on the piston eliminate metal-tometal contact with the liner and help to provide smooth
and consistent operation. Elastomeric/plastic seals seal
the main valve and pilot valves.
The orifice size may be easily selected by choosing
a full-bore fixed inlet nozzle on the F7000, or by
converting to a reduced size orifice (F8000) by
attaching FLOW SAFE’s unique annular-flow plug
to the bottom of the piston assembly. This plug reduces
the ef fective flow area of the valve by directing the
fluid between the plug O.D. and the nozzle I.D. This
feature in orifice selection allows the valve owner
greater versatility in valve standardization, utilization,
and minimized inventor y.
The F7000/8000 Series is particularly advantageous
and cost-effective in installations where:
There may be size and weight limitations
for the valve.
A high cycling rate exists.
A long service life is required.
Minimal product loss is important.
Reduced maintenance and installation
time is desirable.

The F200 Snap-Acting pilot valve blowdown is set at
5-7% of the set pressure and can be adjusted from 3%
to 20% if so specified. The F300 and F500 modulating pilot
valves provide zero blowdown, i.e. the main valve opens in
proportion to demand and closes at the set pressure.

ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
Backflow Preventer (Standard Feature)
If outlet pressure exceeds the inlet pressure, the main valve can
open and backfow may occur. To prevent backflow, a standard
backflow preventer is incorporated in the F200, F300, and
F500 pilots. An increase in the outlet pressure above the inlet is
transmitted to the top of the main valve piston, thus keeping
the main valve closed and protecting the vessel from exposure
to backpressure and backflow contamination.

Manual/Remote Blowdown
This allows the main valve to lift without opening the pilot valve,
by discharging the piston dome pressure directly to the
atmosphere. This is accomplished by use of a manual or
automatic blowdown valve, e.g. hand valve or solenoid valve.

ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
Field Test Connection (FTC)
This allows the user to verify the set pressure while
in service without valve removal. An external pressure
source is attached to the FTC to direct pressure
to the pilot valve, while blocking off the inlet pressure,
thus checking the set pressure and the general
operation of the valve.
Inlet Supply Filter
A filter should be used for dirty applications to clean
the supply fluid to the pilot valve. This is supplied
with a drain fitting.

Remote Pressure Pickup
Remote pressure pickup is recommended when
inlet piping pressure losses exceed 3% of relief valve
set pressure. This allows a remote, more direct
pressure sensing to the pilot valve.

SIZING FOR VISCOUS FLUIDS
Viscosity Correction,
per API RP520
When sizing a valve for viscous liquid service,
first size the valve for non-viscous conditions,
to determine a preliminary required orifice area.
Select the next larger orifice and then use that
area in determining the Reynold’s number (R).
The formulas below can be used to determine R.

After the value of R is determined, Kv is obtained from

above procedure using the next larger orifice size.

SIZING AND SET PRESSURE CONSIDERATIONS FOR BACKPRESSURE
Constant Backpressure Sizing Factor (Kb)
(Gases & Vapors Only)
In general, backpressure has no effect on the flow
capacity of the FLOW SAFE F7000/8000 Series of pilotoperated valves as long as a critical flow condition exists.
The critical flow pressure ratio for a particular gas may be
estimated per API RP 520 by the equation below:

Backpressure, psia
Set pr essure, psia
Overpressure, psi
When sufficient back pressure exists to create
a subcritical flow condition, the critical sizing equation
shown on Page 16 should be used along with the Backpressure Sizing Factor (Kb) shown in the chart below.
This method is described in detail in API RP520.
Set pressures are not affected by backpressure when
using the F300 or F500 pilot valve as it is balanced against
such pressure, or the F200 as it is normally vented to
atmosphere. Caution should be used if the F200 vent is
routed to the main valve discharge or other pressurized
vessel, as the set pressure and blowdown may be
affected.
Backpressure greater than the system inlet pressure
normally would cause the main valve piston to open.
Because the F200, F300, and F500 pilot valves are equipped
with backflow preventers as standard features, this
cannot occur on the F7000/8000 valves. The
backpressure is routed to the main valve piston
dome, keeping the valve closed and bubble-tight.
Example: See figure below.
Set Pressure = 100 psig
Overpressure = 10 psi
Superimposed backpressure = 70 psig
Built-up backpressure = 10 psig

ENGINEERING DATA
Molecular Weights and “C” Factors
On the following pages are published capacity charts
for two common gases, air and natural gas, and for
water. These charts can be used for direct selection
of the safety relief valve orifice required without
calculations. Capacities in these charts are based
upon a process media temperature of 60F , and a
compressibility factor (Z) = 1.0. To determine capacities
at other temperatures, further calculations should be
made using the formulas on Page 16.
Listed below are the molecular weights, specific heat
ratios, and “C” factors for common gases. This “C”
factor is used in formulas for sizing valves for
gas or vapor service.
