TESTING PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

Acting as a 'last resort', Pressure Relief Valves are installed on process equipment to release excess pressure
due to faulty process operations, external fires and other hazards. Or simply said; the Pressure Relief Valve
serves to protect ‘life and property’. Pressure Relief Valves should be given the right treatment and be correctly
tested to ensure that they will fulfil this so important role when needed.

Test bench VC25-SRV
The Ventil VC25-SRV is an universal and versatile test bench for pressure testing and setting of Pressure Relief
Valves in the range ½ - 10” / DN15 - 250 mm. Main features and unique characteristics;

Gas and liquid testing of all
kinds of Pressure Relief
Valves with flange and
thread connections,
according to all common
international test
standards, such as; API
526, API 527, ANSI / API RP
576.
Design and configuration
based on many years of
experience in valve testing
and repair.
Fully built in-house, only
first class components are
used.
Standard completed with the unique, fully integrated, Win 10 Ventil Computer Registration System.
Delivered ready for use, including all necessary safety features, globally used by numerous manufacturers,
end-users and valve repairers.

Test systems
Gas test system 0 - 300 bar / 4,350 psi
Liquid test system 0 - 300 bar / 4,350 psi
Seat tightness test system (API 527) full range

Range and application
The 25 Metric ton strong 3-Claw clamping system enables you to conduct the following tests per valve size;

VALVE SIZE MAXIMUM TEST PRESSURE
Inch mm (GAS / LIQUID)
½ - 3 15 - 80 300 bar / 4,350 psi
4 100 200 bar / 2,900 psi
6 150 100 bar / 1,450 psi

Test bench Control panel

The ergonomically designed, fully Stainless Steel Control panel contains all parts and systems for operating the
clamping and test systems. Smart design has led to a minimum amount of operating components, allowing very
easy and intuitive operation and control. Just like the CRS test program, the Control panel will be completed
with text plates in your native language.

3-Claw clamping system
The 25 ton strong 3-Claw clamping system
enables quick and easy clamping of the
complete range of valves. Pressure Relief
Valves can be somewhat unstable and may
need to be supported. Therefore the VC25-
SRV clamping system works with a fixed
clamping table and vertically moving claws.
After positioning of the valve on the Stainless
Steel clamping table, the operator uses the
hand lever to move the claws simultaneously
to the center until they overlap the flange. The
foot – operated switch is used to activate the
hydraulic system and clamp the valve on the
inlet flange.

0 - 25 Metric ton, fully adjustable for all types, sizes and materials, range ½ - 10” / DN15 - 250 mm.
Suited for all flange types and valves with thread connections (see options for Male/Female adapters).
¾’’ full bore test connection to the 4 liter test vessel to ensure sufficient dynamic lift reaction!
Exchangeable adapters for extending the range, clamping exotic types and protecting the main claws.
Stainless Steel test liquid reservoir / sump with filter.
Easy lever controlled centering system for simultaneously moving the claws from and to the center.

O-ring sealing plates
The delivery includes one Vulcolan rubber plate and a set of 8 pcs. O-ring sealing plates (see picture above) for
clamping all Raised Face flanges, ANSI Cl. 150 - 2500 / DIN PN2.5 - 500. The galvanized steel O-ring sealing
plates are easily positioned and the grooves help the operator with aligning of the valve. These plates ensure
the highest level tightness for gas and liquid service. To enhance safety and prevent premature wear of the O-
rings, the rings are stored in a bracket on the side of the control panel.

Seat leakage detection and measuring
The test bench is completed with a ‘laser’ bubble counter for easy and
accurate testing / measuring of the gas seat leakage, according to the
API 527 standard.
Included in the delivery is a spring loaded, rubber lined outlet adapter
set for connecting the bubble counter to the outlet of the valve. The
smart designed instrument automatically counts the bubbles and
displays the leakage on the CRS screen. The found leakage is than
automatically subjected to the allowable leakage, described in the
applicable standard.

Safe design approach

With over 5000 test benches installed and a zero accident track record, we can conclude and emphasize that
we ‘deliver safety’. A long, reliable, and most of all, safe working effect starts with a ‘safe design approach’.
Each particular part and system is subject to a thorough risk assessments.
With the design of the VC25-SRV
we consider the position and role of
the operator and character of tests
executed. Good work - design and
ergonomics helps to achieve
reliable and consequent test results
and keep the operator safe at work.
The VC25-SRV is standard
completed with;

Fully surrounding safety
enclosure with 12 mm thick -
bulletproof Polycarbonate
screens and manually
operated locking device.
Kill switch to ensure that the operator stays with the control panel while the pressure rises.
Automatic safety interlock system to prevent that the clamping force can be released while the valve is
still under pressure.
Flash light on top of the control panel, automatically activated to warn personnel in the surrounding that
a pressure test is in progress.


Computer Registration System
The fully integrated Windows 10 operated ‘CRS’, exists of a complete PC system, a set of accurate - calibrated
pressure transducers, A/D conversion unit and fully in-house developed test software.
Besides digital reading of the test data (pressure, time and leakage), the CRS system includes a variety of
unique functions to help the operator with achieving accurate and reliable test results, for example; automatic
verification of the found set pressure and leakage against the applicable ASME/API standards or a user defined
tolerance.

Accurate digital reading of pressure, time and leakage.
Printing and automatically storing a complete test
certificate, with a fully customized lay-out, showing
company logo’s, texts and in the preferred language.
CRS test program is available in a variety of languages or
can be converted into your native language by using the
text translation function.
Complete DELL PC system including fully integrated HP
Deskjet color printer and industrial track ball.
‘Laser’ bubble counter with validation function for
accurate seat leakage detection/measuring.
Prepared for installation on your LAN network.
Need help, an upgrade or an additional function..? The Ventil IT service team is available for answering
questions, remote access and support over internet, anytime, anywhere.
