WEH® Pressure Relief Valve
WEH® pressure relief valves relieve fluid systems when a preset pressure is reached. This protects the installed components from wear or damage caused by excessive pressure.
The WEH® pressure relief valve remains closed until the set pressure is reached thanks to a built-in spring. If the set pressure is exceeded, the valve opens and discharges excess medium via a medium outlet (B2). The valve is sealed by a replaceable metal sealing seat. The valve is supplied with pressure rings and pressure screws for the corresponding Cone & Thread high pressure tube connections.
The customer must specify the desired set pressure when ordering. A tolerance range of +/- 100 bar must be taken intoaccount. WEH adjusts the valve at room temperature and tests it for leaks and release behavior.
The adjustment screw is then sealed.
The actual set pressure may vary due to temperature fluctuations or after long intervals between actuations.
