GROTH CORPORATION
Groth Corporation was established as Groth Equipment Corporation in Houston, Texas, in 1960. In 1971 Groth began manufacturing pressure/vacuum relief valves and flame arresters. Today, Groth is a global leader in manufacturing pressure/vacuum relief valves, flame arresters, blanket gas regulators, and other low pressure relief products. In September, 1999, Groth became a part of the Continental Disc Corporation family of companies that produce pressure relief products for industrial applications. In 2002, Groth relocated to a new facility in Stafford, Texas (southwest Houston).

within a tank. They can also be used as an in-line flashback prevention device.
EMERGENCY VALVE
DEFLAGRATION/ DETONATION FLAME ARRESTERS
The primary function of the emergency relief valve is to provide a controlled opening. An emergency relief valve is a seal used to prevent rupturing of the tank under severe pressure increases caused by proximity to intense fire. Each of these safety devices are used on the atmospheric, fixed or floating roof, nonrefrigerated storage tank.
Flame arresters are fire safety devices. They prevent flames from entering a tank and also provide protection from flashes
PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVES
PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
The pressure/vacuum relief valve is a protection device which is typically mounted on a nozzle opening on the top of a fixed roof atmospheric storage tank. Its primary purpose is to protect the tank against rupturing or imploding. Without an opening or a controlled opening, a fixed roof atmospheric tank would rupture under increasing pressure caused by pumping liquid into the tank or as a result of vapor pressure changes caused by severe thermal changes. Imploding, or the collapsing of a tank, occurs during the pumping out procedure or thermal changes. As the liquid level lowers, the vapor space pressure is reduced to below atmospheric pressure. This

1. Saves money by saving product. 2. Protects tank from over or under pressure when sized properly. 3. Protection against fire hazard when conforming to API standards. 4. Minimizes evaporation loss. 5. Reduces atmospheric corrosion of tank. 6. Generally required by OSHA, EPA, etc.
IN MOST CASES A PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVE WILL PAY FOR ITSELF BEFORE YOU PAY THE INVOICE
PRESSURE/VACUUM VALVES SAVE MONEY
Although any properly sized opening in the tanks upper structure protects the tank from damage, utilizing a pressure and vacuum valve offers additional advantages. Two of the more important advantages are: economic savings and fire hazard protection. In 1952, American Petroleum Institute developed a formula to determine tank evaporative losses. The API equation was formulated after the results of a total of 178 individual tests were compiled (1/2 with open vents and 1/2 with pressure/vacuum valves). The principle factors are: turnovers per year, true vapor pressure of the product, diameter of the tank in feet, the average outage in feet, the average daily ambient temperature change, and the paint factor. The test was conducted on tanks containing gasoline with pressure and vacuum valves set at 1/2 oz. pressure and 1/2 oz. vacuum. American Petroleum Institute (API) 2521 states that 1/2 oz. is the usual setting.

Where: Ly = the breathing loss in barrels per year TPY = turn overs per year P = the true vapor pressure at bulk liquid temperature in pounds per square inch absolute D = tank diameter in feet H = the average outage in feet T = average daily ambient temperature change Fp = the paint factor C = adjustment factor for smaller diameter tanks. C=1 for tanks 20 feet in diameter or larger.
The results of these tests indicate that the evaporation loss on a tank with a 55,000 barrel capacity would be 2,000 barrels per year if an open vent was installed, and only 1,382 barrels per year if a pressure/vacuum valve was utilized, thereby saving 618 barrels per year. This study also coined a new catchword, Conservation Vent. So if you hear the term conservation vent, you know that the valve referred to is a pressure/vacuum valve or breather valve. If the product in the tank cost $80 per barrel, this would be a savings in one year of $49,440 per tank. Pressure/vacuum relief valves provide savings of millions of dollars and millions of barrels of product in a large facility such as the one illustrated on page 3. Depending on size and materials of construction, a breather valve can pay for itself in less than a month.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves

An advantage of using a pressure/vacuum valve is that the valve provides fire protection for the tank. A pressure/vacuum valve is normally closed except when venting due to pressure or vacuum conditions. An open vent always has a free passageway between the vapor in the tank and atmosphere. Therefore, a pressure/vacuum valve is usually closed allowing the tank vapor to reach true vapor pressure. Under true vapor pressure, the vapor in the tank is too rich to burn. The tank is also closed off eliminating a free passageway for fire or sparks to ignite the potentially combustible vapor in the tank. If the valve has been activated by excessive tank pressure, the now open valve is causing a condition where any vapors escaping are under positive pressure and the fire hazard will be kept away from the vapor content of the tank. If flames are in the area and the tank is being emptied, vapors are not escaping and
BASIC FIRE PROTECTION
combustion is not likely to occur even though the tank may have a combustible mixture. 1. Closed tank principle. When a pressure/vacuum valve is closed, vapors are not escaping to support combustion. 2. Over rich principle due to equilibrium being reached in a closed tank and therefore the vapors are too rich to burn. When emptying or pumping from the tank, oxygen rich vapors are susceptible to burning and flame arresters should be installed between the pressure/vacuum relief valve and tank nozzle. 3. The vacuum created during pump out of product will prevent fumes from escaping which normally does not present a fire hazard.
therefore less corrosion is produced by escaping vapors. This means overall plant maintenance is reduced thereby saving labor and money.
RECOMMENDED AND REQUIRED
Pressure/vacuum valves are recommended by API 2000, EN 14015: 2004, and ISO 28300 for use on atmospheric storage tanks. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that tanks storing Class 1 liquids shall be equipped with venting devices which shall be normally closed except under pressure or vacuum condition. Generally speaking, the majority of the regulatory bodies dealing with tank safety, [API, OSHA, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Insurance Companies, etc.] require installation of these devices on flammable liquid storage tanks.
REDUCED CORROSION
An additional reason for using pressure/vacuum valves, they help reduce overall corrosion in the plant. Plant corrosion is reduced due to less product escaping from the tank and

Pressure/Vacuum Valve Operation

HOW PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVES OPERATE
reach full opening of the valve. However, when determining a set pressure, the weight loaded valve operation Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) should be at least twice the required set pressure to obtain optimum flow. If the MAWP is less than 100% above the required set, the valve could be larger in size than normally required. The possibility of valve chatter and accelerated seat and diaphragm wear will exist if less than 20% overpressure is allowed. Simply stated, a pressure/vacuum valve is not exactly like a high pressure safety relief valve and should not be sized at 10% or 20% overpressure. When sizing a pressure/vacuum valve, consult the manufacturers flow tables and allow sufficient overset pressure.
How does a pressure/vacuum valve operate? Most atmospheric tanks require a venting device that will allow large volumes of vapor to escape under relatively low pressures. Usually, the allowable set pressure is in inches of water column pressure, both for pressure and vacuum conditions. This is because most large storage tanks have a relatively low maximum allowable working pressure. These tanks are generally large volume, welded vessels that are built to API 650 or EN 14015: 2004 standards. In order to accommodate large volumes at low set pressures, these valves have ports that are greater in area than the inlet or nozzle connection. The low setting required necessitates weight loading the valve as opposed to spring loading. Because of the above, a pressure/vacuum valve requires approximately 100% over set pressure in order to
SPRING LOADED VALVES
MODEL 1201B
The spring loaded valve is used on higher pressure tanks (1-15 psig settings). They will protect from overpressure and excessive vacuum while reducing tank breathing, thereby saving product. Spring loaded valves weigh less than a weight loaded valve set at 1 psig.
PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVE

Tank Pressure
The Pilot Operated Relief Valve is designed to provide safe, dependable, and accurate low pressure and/or vacuum protection. Full flow is attained at no more than 10% overpressure. This reduces the need for high overpressure which conserves product and reduces fugitive emissions. Blowdown may be adjusted to requirements between 0% and 20% of set pressure. Properly adjusted, the Pilot Operated Relief Valve is bubble tight up to 95% of set pressure. The Pilot MODEL 1660A Operated Relief Valve provides the maximum available leakage control technology as specified in the Clean Air Act of 1990.

American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards are provided as an engineering aid for specification and selection of normal and emergency pressure and vacuum relief valves for aboveground liquid petroleum storage tanks. Normal venting capacity is obtained without exceeding pressure or vacuum that would cause physical damage or permanent deformation to the tank. The following will help in sizing a pressure/vacuum valve: 1. Normal Relief: The sum of vapor replacement resulting from emptying or filling and thermal in-breathing or outbreathing. 2. Emergency Relief: Thermal out-breathing from fire exposure. 3. All Tanks: Generally require the sizing of a normal pressure and vacuum relief valve to be sized and an independent emergency relief valve to be sized separately. 4. Flow Curves: These curves
OSHA AND API REQUIREMENTS
API 2513
The OSHA requirement for tank protection published by the Department of Labor as part 1910.106, revised July 1, 1985, addresses sizing requirements. OSHA suggests sizing shall be in accordance with API 2000, which clearly defines all requirements.
PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVE SETTING

API 2521
Pressure/vacuum valves on atmospheric pressure fixed-roof tanks are usually set at 1/2 oz. per square inch pressure or vacuum. Test data indicates that an increase of 1 oz. per square inch in the pressure set point over the usual 1/2 oz. per square inch reduces breathing losses by approximately 7 percent. However, the test data indicates that each additional increase of 1 oz. per square inch in pressure STORAGE TANK DESIGN
The pressure and vacuum setting of a breather valve are dictated by the structural characteristics of the tank and should be within safe operating limits. A certain amount of pressure and vacuum beyond this setting is necessary to overcome pressure drop in order to obtain required flow. Proper size and settings can best be determined by reference to API Std 2000: Venting Atmospheric and LowPressure Storage Tanks (1992) and to the manufacturer's tank data determined in accordance with this publication. The pressure setting for pressure/ vacuum valves to be installed on large tanks constructed in accordance with API 12: Specification for Large Welded Production Tanks (1957) usually is limited to 1/2 oz. because roof plates will start to shift when the pressure increases above 1 oz.
(National Fire Protection Agency)
1. TO HOLD LIQUID
Liquid exerts pressure on the sides and base of the tank. Pressure is directly related to the height of the liquid.
2. TO BE FILLED
For liquid to get in, air and vapor must get out. If they cant, the tank will be pressurized. For air and vapor to be pushed out, the pressure in the tank must be slightly above atmospheric pressure. The tank is designed for an internal pressure of 8 in. water gauge (WG).
3. TO BE EMPTIED
For liquid to get out, air must get in. If it cant, the tank will be underpressured. For air to be sucked in, the pressure in the tank must be slightly below atmospheric pressure. The tank is designed for an external pressure (or vacuum in the tank) of 2-1/2 in. WG.
PRODUCT DETAIL
FLAME ARRESTER
A flame arrester is a safety device installed on a nozzle on top of a tank when the flash point of the stored product is lower than the possible tank temperature. A majority of the time, a vent to atmosphere pressure/vacuum valve is installed on top of the flame arrester. A flame arrester is also used as an in-line safety device
In order to be an effective flame prevention device, a flame arrester must have a quenching or hydraulic diameter small enough to stop the flame created by the combustible gas. Each combustible gas has a different required hydraulic diameter to stop the flame. In addition to stopping the flame, an arrester must be able to dissipate heat. Flame element mass ensures that hot gases above the auto ignition temperature never reach the downstream side of the flame arrester. With an in-line installation, structural integrity is important to insure safety if a detonation should occur. Proper gasketing to insure an oxygen-free environment in the event of a detonation is also important. Unless a flame arrester meets or exceeds the above mentioned design criteria, it is not a true flame arrester.
successfully tested and USCG approved as a Type II Detonation Flame Arrester suitable for applications where stationary flames may rest on the element.
AIR OPERATED RELIEF VALVE
Air operated relief valves are used to replace weight loaded and pilot operated valves in severe applications where polymerization and crystallization may take place and plug as well as corrode the pilot valve. The pressure switch coupled with a solenoid valve and using plant instrument air instead of corrosive product vapor provides a bubble tight seal in the valve.
where combustible gases are transported through low pressure pipe lines to actual combustion, as in an incinerator or flare or where combustion fumes are vented through piping to atmosphere where lightning can cause a flame. Flame arresters should be designed to stop tank farm fires caused by lightning, sparking, or actual flame in the immediate tank area, and to prevent flashbacks in lines. In order to accomplish the above, a flame arrester must act as a barrier (stop a flame), a flame holder (contain the flame at the barrier), and dissipate heat in order to prevent auto ignition on the down side of the flame arrester.
DETONATION ARRESTER
A detonation arrester is another safety device installed in a piping system. A detonation is defined as a flame front propagating through a flammable gas or vapor at a velocity equal to or greater than the speed of sound. A detonation arrester should be installed when the source of a flashback is greater than ten pipe diameters from the installation of the arrester or when there is a possible restriction in the line. Groth Detonation Flame Arresters are bi-directional and can be installed in a vertical or horizontal piping installation. The Model 7658A has been

EMERGENCY VALVES
Emergency valves are required by API on storage tanks in order to protect the tank against excessive pressure caused by external fire exposure or flashes within the tank. The excessive pressure caused by an external fire is generally because an adjacent tank is on fire or some other structure in proximity is on fire. Flashes are generally caused by a chemical reaction in the tank. Regardless of the cause of the excessive pressure, an opening larger than the normal pressure/ vacuum valve is necessary in order to carry off the additional volume resulting
from the fire exposure the tank is experiencing. API 2000 states emergency venting may be accomplished by the use of: 1. Larger or additional open vents 2. Larger or additional pressure/vacuum valves or pressure relief valves 3. A gauge hatch which permits the cover to lift under abnormal internal pressure 4. A manhole cover which permits the cover to lift under abnormal internal pressure (ERV Model 2000A/2400A) 5. A connection between the roof and shell which is weaker than the weakest

VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM
With the implementation of the Clean Air Act of 1990, most Liquid Product Storage terminals and hydrocarbon processing plants must control evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from loading and storage operations. Two types of recognized technologies are vapor recovery using carbon absorption or vapor combustion. Both systems require pressure/vacuum valves and flame or detonation arresters to minimize emissions and maximize safety.

VAPOR EMISSION REDUCTION
GAS BLANKETING
The Groth Blanket Gas Regulator ensures that a constant gas pressure is maintained in the vapor space of a storage tank. When liquid is removed from a tank or the temperature is reduced, a vacuum would be developed.
CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1990 METHOD 21 LEAK TEST
The 1990 amendment to the 1977 Clean Air Act requires the emissions of any of the identified volatile organic compounds (VOCs) be kept to under 500 parts per million (PPM). Method 21 is the leak test procedure used to detect rate of leakage from process equipment, including valves, flanges, pressure relief devices, etc. Groth Corporation Pilot Operated Valves (with the film seat option) and Blanket Gas Regulators provide pressure and/or vacuum protection for liquid storage tanks while assuring your compliance with the Clean Air Act.

Tank protection equipment is specialized. Understanding this equipment and how it should be applied will ensure that your storage tank is protected properly from any number of potential hazards. Protection from rupturing or imploding and protection from fire hazards are the major considerations. Environmental and conservation features enhance the value of these products.
With the Groth Blanket Gas Regulator, a blanket gas is supplied to prevent a vacuum from developing and to maintain the desired blanket pressure. In addition to preventing outside air and moisture from entering the storage vessel, a blanket gas pressure, as low as 1/2 WC, reduces the evaporation of the stored product to a negligible amount. The result not only conserves product but also greatly reduces emissions. These advantages are in addition to the fire protection that is provided.

Flow capacity is certified by Groth Corporation, based on actual tests conducted in compliance with API Std. 2000. Flow measurement accuracy has been verified by an independent testing laboratory.
Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% overpressure. For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. Read the flow capacity at 100% overpressure directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set pressure is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable overpressure is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable overpressure is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage overpressure by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure. Pf = Flowing pressure Ps = Set pressure % OP = [(Pf - Ps)/Ps] x 100 Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% overpressure according to the following example.

PRESSURE / VACUUM RELIEF VALVE WITH FLAME ARRESTER
The Model 8800A Pressure/Vacuum Valve & Flame Arrester combination units are designed to protect your tank from damage created by overpressure or excessive vacuum, at the same time that they provide protection from externally caused sources of heat and ignition. The result is increased fire protection and safety. The Model 8800A Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valve offers Groths special cushioned air seating. Superior performing Teflon1 seating diaphragms are standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric moisture. Self draining housings and drip rings protect seating surfaces from condensate and freezing. The wafer construction of the Model 8800A Flame Arrester affords easy accessibility to the flame bank for maintenance. All Groth flame arresters utilize spiral wound, crimped ribbon constructed flame elements. These proven, Factory Mutual approved elements have been reported by NTIS of the Department of Commerce to provide the best flame quenching performance for the least pressure drop. Groth flame arresters are pneumatic tested to 15 psig as standard.

PRESSURE / VACUUM RELIEF VALVE WITH PIPE-AWAY FEATURE

Model 1220A is used for pressure and vacuum relief where vapors must be piped away. Escaping vapors are piped away through a flanged outlet connection. This helps to provide increased fire protection and safety.
MODEL 1220A
Model 1220A offers Groths special cushioned air seating. Superior performing Teflon 1 seating diaphragms are standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric moisture. The Model 1220A has a self draining housing body and drip rings to protect seating surfaces from condensate and freezing. This design also avoids pressure or vacuum buildup due to binding or clogging of the valve. Buna-N, Viton2, and other seating diaphragms can be provided when required. Model 1221B may be spring loaded when required for use on blanketed tanks or other type installation requiring higher settings. To insure the proper alignment of seating surfaces there is peripheral guiding and a center stabilizing stem.

Flow capacity is certified by Groth Corporation, based on actual tests conducted in compliance with API Std. 2000. Flow measurement accuracy has been verified by an independent testing laboratory. Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% overpressure. For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. Read the flow capacity at 100% overpressure directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set pressure is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable overpressure is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable overpressure is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage overpressure by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure. Pf = Flowing pressure Ps = Set pressure % OP = [(Pf - Ps)/Ps] x 100 Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% overpressure according to the following example.

Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% over-vacuum. Read the flow capacity at 100% over-vacuum directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation to approximate the capacity if the set vacuum is not listed (Ref: page 173 of Groth product catalog). If the allowable over-vacuum is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable over-vacuum is more than 100%, consult your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage over-vacuum by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure. Pf Ps % OV = Flowing vacuum = Set vacuum = [ (Pf - Ps) / Ps ] x 100 Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% over-vacuum according to the following example.
Example - To find C factor from table: Read C factor for 75% over-vacuum at intersection of row 70 and column 5. C factor at 75% OV = 0.87

Relief Valves
FIBERGLASS SERIES 1200A, 1300A, 2000A, AND OTHERS
Fiberglass valves are used the same as their counterparts manufactured in metal, primarily on aboveground storage tank installations. Fiberglass construction can be used where highly corrosive and toxic liquids are being stored. The fiberglass series design will protect the tank from damage created by overpressuring or excessive vacuum. Costly product evaporation losses due to normal tank breathing are greatly reduced. Retention of product vapors reduces the possibility of atmospheric contamination. Fiberglass valves offer Groths special cushioned air seating. Superior performing Teflon1 seating diaphragms are standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric moisture. These valves have a self draining housing body and drip rings to protect seating surfaces from condensate and freezing. This design also avoids pressure or vacuum buildup due to binding or clogging of the valves. These fiberglass valves may be spring loaded when required for use on blanketed tank or other type installations requiring higher settings. To insure the proper alignment of seating surfaces there is peripheral guiding and a center stabilizing stem.

I I I I I
Both models are designed to inhibit flame propagation in gas piping systems and to protect low pressure tanks containing flammable liquids. Arresters protect low flash point liquids from externally caused sources of heat and ignition. This provides increased fire protection and safety.
MODEL 7618
SPECIAL FEATURES
Both models are built of corrosion resistant materials throughout. Wafer design construction affords easy accessibility to the flame bank. Additionally, jack screws aid in the removal from the shell assembly. All Groth flame arrester flame banks utilize spiral wound, crimped ribbon constructed flame elements. These proven Factory Mutual approved elements have been reported by NTIS of the Department of Commerce to provide the best flame quenching performance for the least pressure drop. Groths special recessed flame bank seating construction uniquely provides an extra measure of protection against leakage and possible flame propagation.
MODEL 7628
Note:
All Groth flame arresters are bi-directional. Factory Mutual regulates that flame arresters be installed less than 10 pipe diameters from the source of ignition.

I Modular construction PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Pressure Relief Valve Model 1260A is for use where pressure relief is required and all relieving vapors must be piped away. Tank relief, to avoid tank damage, is controlled by a spring or weight loaded pallet in the valve housing. Pressure relief valves help provide increased fire protection and safety. The Model 1260A can also be used for inline vacuum relief where flanged inlet connection is required. Back pressure in the system must be considered when using flow curves. Model 1260A offers Groths special cushioned air seating. Superior performing Teflon1 seating diaphragms are standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric moisture. The Model 1260A has a self-draining housing body and drip rings to protect seating surfaces from condensate and freezing. This design also avoids pressure or vacuum buildup due to binding or clogging of the valve. Buna-N, Viton2, and other seating diaphragms can be provided when required.

Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% overpressure. For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. Read the flow capacity at 100% overpressure directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set pressure is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable overpressure is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable overpressure is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage overpressure by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure.

EMERGENCY RELIEF VALVE
Model 2300A is designed for emergency relief capacity above that supplied by a standard operating valve used on tanks, piping, and low pressure vessels. Emergency relief valves provide relief from excessive internal pressures which may cause tank damage. Model 2300A is built of corrosion resistant material throughout. Groths self-closing special Teflon1 cushioned air pallet with center stabilizing stem and peripheral guiding provides uniform seating and alignment. Superior performing Teflon1 seating diaphragms are standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric moisture. The guides support a spun weatherhood which covers and protects the entire valve structure. As added protection against the entry of foreign matter, a mesh screen encircles the valve under the weatherhood. Buna-N, Viton2, and other seating diaphragms can be provided when required.

Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% overpressure. For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. Read the flow capacity at 100% overpressure directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set pressure is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable overpressure is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable overpressure is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage overpressure by the following formula.

Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% over-vacuum. For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. Read the flow capacity at 100% over-vacuum directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set vacuum is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable over-vacuum is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable over-vacuum is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Calculate the percentage over-vacuum by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure. Pf = Flowing pressure Ps = Set pressure % OV = [(Pf - Ps)/Ps] x 100 Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% over-vacuum according to the following example.

MODEL 2000A (PRESSURE)
Model 2000A is designed to provide emergency relief capacity beyond that furnished by the normal operating pressure relief valve on the tank. The valve protects the tank against rupture or explosion that could result from excessive internal pressures caused by fire, etc. As excessive pressure builds up, the Groth Model 2000A relieves excess pressure, then reseats when pressure has been dissipated. Removable stops can be provided which restrict the lift of the cover.
MODEL 2050A (PRESSURE & VACUUM)
SPECIAL FEATURES
Model 2000A is built of corrosion resistant materials throughout. A restraining cable connects the head and flange and also serves as a grounding cable. Groths special Teflon1 cushioned air pallet and peripheral guiding insures proper alignment and integrity of seating. Model 2050A incorporates a vacuum breaker for added vacuum relief capability.

Flow capacity is certified by Groth Corporation, based on actual tests conducted in compliance with API Std. 2000. Flow measurement accuracy has been verified by an independent testing laboratory. Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% overpressure. Vacuum flow rating applies only to Model 2050A. Read the flow capacity at 100% overpressure directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set pressure is not listed. (Ref: page 173) If the allowable overpressure is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate C factor from the table. If allowable overpressure is more than 100%, consult page 173 or your Groth Representative. Note: Vacuum capacity is modified using the C factor on page 119. Calculate the percentage overpressure by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure. Pf = Flowing pressure Ps = Set pressure % OP = [(Pf - Ps)/Ps] x 100 Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% overpressure according to the following example.

Model 1660A
Pressure and/or vacuum relief valves are used on liquid storage tanks and other process vessels or systems to prevent structural damage due to excess internal pressure or vacuum. Storage tanks are pressurized when liquid is pumped in and compresses the existing vapor or when increasing temperature causes increased evaporation or expansion of existing vapor. Conversely, vacuum may be created when pumping out or decreasing temperature. To prevent damage, vapor must be allowed to escape or enter the tank at a specified pressure or vacuum. The volume rate of venting depends upon the tank size, volatility of the contents, the pumping rate, and the temperature. See API Standard 2000 for the procedures to determine venting requirements. The pilot operated relief valve has two principal advantages over other types of relief valves: 1) It is bubble tight to set pressure. 2) It is fully open at less than 10% above set pressure. These characteristics permit an operating pressure nearer to the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank. High operating pressures reduce evaporation and total venting volume, thereby reducing product loss and cost of processing emissions.
Model 1660A
A tank may also have provisions for emergency pressure relief due to fire exposure and/or an inert gas blanket in the vapor space. A typical tank installation is shown in Figure 1 which includes a pilot operated pressure/vacuum relief valve, a gas blanketing regulator, and a pilot operated emergency pressure relief valve. The Groth Series 1660A Pilot Operated Valve is available in the following configurations:

APPLICATIONS
LOW PRESSURE STORAGE TANKS The Groth Model 1660A Pilot Operated Valves can meet seat tightness requirements of environmental regulations, even when the operating pressure is close to the set pressure, such as when gas blanketing is used. CRYOGENIC STORAGE TANKS Leaking pressure relief valves on low temperature tanks cause unsafe freeze-ups. Tight pilot operated valves with snap action are the safest devices known. Modulating valves must not be used on cryogenic service. NATURAL GAS Some natural gas production facilities require large volume relief capacities at low pressures and pilot operated valves are ideal for these applications. When the relief valve is installed downstream of a pressure reducing valve, the modulating mode can prevent destructive interaction between the two valves. AIR SEPARATION PLANTS Pilot operated valves prevent the accidental loss of gases when used in both low pressure process and storage applications. AIR BLOWERS Air blowers for conveyor systems and waste water treatment plants, as well as other uses, often require accurate relief for both pressure and vacuum. Pilot operated relief valvesboth pressure valves and vacuum valvesare extremely well suited for such services.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION

MODEL 1660APRESSURE RELIEFPILOT ACTUATED
When tank pressure reaches set pressure, the force acting upward on the pilot valve sense diaphragm overcomes the downward spring force. The pilot valve begins to flow through the seat (6) to the breather port (3). This flow results in a pressure drop in the upper dome (B). As a result, pressure acting under the main valve pallet will open the valve and relieve the overpressure condition. Adjustment of the blowdown needle (4) can provide either snap-action or modulating pilot valve operation. For snap-action operation, the main valve pallet lifts quickly to full open. In modulating service, the pallet will lift sufficiently to maintain set pressure regardless of the flow rate up to the rated capacity of the valve at the specified set pressure. The main valve remains open (and flowing) as long as the tank pressure is higher than the pilot valve set pressure. As tank pressure decreases to the pilot valve reseat pressure, the pilot valve closes allowing tank vapors to flow back into the upper dome (B). As the upper dome pressure rises, the pallet assembly is tightly closed against the seat. The adjustable orifice or blowdown needle (4) affects the closing of the pilot valve. Blowdown can vary from zero for modulating operation to 10% for snap-action operation. Note: The actuator diaphragm (1) is not attached to the support plate (5) unless vacuum relief or low set 1402 Pilot is specified. This design provides inherent back-flow prevention when the discharge header pressure exceeds tank pressure. No additional hardware is required for this protection.
Closed Condition
Open Condition 139
The function of the pilot valve (A) is to control pressure in the main valve actuator (B) or upper dome of the main valve. The effective area of the actuator diaphragm (1) is significantly larger than the pallet seat area (2). Tank pressure is applied both on top of the actuator diaphragm and below the main valve seat area. Because of the area ratio, the downward force (actuator) is greater than the opening force (pallet) and results in a tight main valve seat.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION

MODEL 1661APRESSURE RELIEF-PILOT ACTUATED VACUUM RELIEF-DIRECT ACTUATED
Vacuum relief is provided by attachment of the actuator diaphragm to the pallet/support plate assembly. This provides pressure and vacuum protection with a single main valve and a single pilot valve. The valve opens when the tank vacuum acting on the actuator diaphragm overcomes the weight of the pallet assembly. The vacuum applied to the area differential between the actuator diaphragm (1) and the pallet seat area (2) provides the lifting force. The vacuum cracking pressure is approximately 1.0" - 2.0" WC, and is determined by the weight of the pallet assembly and related components. Full open flow is achieved in the 1.7" to 3.5" WC range, depending on valve size, pressure setting, and materials of construction. The diaphragm is attached by the upper support plate (8), so backflow prevention is not provided by this valve.
Open ConditionDirect Actuated
MODEL 1662AVACUUM RELIEF-PILOT VALVE ACTUATED
Operation of a Pilot Actuated Vacuum Relief Valve is similar to pressure relief except for the physical connections between the pilot and main valve. The vacuum sense lines (9 & 10) connect the spring chamber breather port and the pilot valve exhaust port to the main valve total pressure pickup as shown. Atmospheric pressure is applied under the boost and sense diaphragms and in the upper dome (B) through the breather port (3). Below set vacuum, the spring force is greater than the lift created by tank vacuum above the sense diaphragm (7) so both the pilot valve and the main valve will remain closed. At set vacuum, the pilot valve opens and the upper dome is reduced to tank vacuum. The diaphragm is attached by a second actuator support plate (8) for vacuum operated valves. Main valve internal pressure under the actuator diaphragm (1) opens the main valve. The valve remains open and flowing until the system reaches the pilot valve reseat pressure. Note: Backflow pressure relief prevention is provided for pilot operated vacuum relief valves in case positive system pressure can occur. A bypass line with a check valve is used to apply pressure to the upper dome. Another check valve prevents pressure discharge from the pilot vent.

OPTIONS
The following options are frequently utilized to reduce vapor emissions, improve serviceability, or expand the capabilities of a pilot operated relief valve.
Pilot exhaust piped to discharge header
Field Test Connection
A 1/2" NPT(F) Connection, block valve, and check valve is provided for field testing the pilot valve pressure setting. This is accomplished with an independent pressure source; the check valve prevents back flow into the tank during testing. Note: Field test connection shown is for a pressure relief valve. Field test connections for vacuum and pressure/vacuum relief are also available.
Manual Blowdown
A manually controlled block valve is provided to allow the upper dome pressure to be bled to atmosphere or a process vapor discharge system. If the tank is pressurized, releasing the dome pressure will open the main valve. An electric solenoid valve can be provided for remote blowdown control.
Conical Film Seat
To provide maximum tight shut-off, a patented Conical Film Seat is available with Groth pilot operated valves. This unique design will avoid fugitive emissions and will exceed the requirements of Method 21 in the EPA Regulation, CFR 40, Part 60.
145
The exhaust port of the pilot valve may be piped to the outlet body to avoid any vapor emission to the atmosphere.
OPTIONS
Remote Sense
Normally pilot operated relief valves have a total pressure pickup in the main valve inlet. For applications where inlet piping losses are significant, a remote sense connection will assure that the main valve will open fully at the specified pressure regardless of inlet piping pressure loss. Note that the valve sizing must take into account the reduced flow because of the inlet pressure drop. Remote sense is recommended for applications that have entrained particulates (tubing/fittings provided by others).
Pilot Supply Filter

An auxiliary filter for the pilot supply line is recommended for services with an unusual amount of foreign particulates. The standard filter is equipped with a 35 micron stainless steel screen that can be easily cleaned.
Model 1900 Check Valve

OPTIONS
Model 1663A Dual Pilot Operated Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valve
The Model 1663A will be required for pilot operated pressure and vacuum relief when the vacuum setting is greater than the direct actuated vacuum setting of the Model 1661. Minimum vacuum setting for Model 1663A is 3" WC and rated capacity is achieved at 10% overpressure. Dual pilot valves allow a single relief valve to provide independent settings for pressure and vacuum. Two Groth Model 1900 Check Valves provide isolation of the pressure and vacuum functions. The valve is closed within the set pressure range specified and opens above the positive pressure setting and below the vacuum setting. Backflow prevention protection is not available if the discharge header pressure exceeds tank pressure.
MODEL 1660A SERIES CRYOGENIC SERVICES

Tested and proven reliable below minus 300 F Snap action at lowest temperatures Tight shut-off with patented conical film seat No freeze-up for safe operation All Teflon1 diaphragms
The Groth Series 1660A pilot operated valves are designed to provide the safest and most reliable operation for cryogenic service. With the incorporation of a Teflon1 FEP diaphragm and aluminum or 316 SS seat materials, the low temperature does not affect valve operation or valve seat tightness. Tight shut-off and dependable service is assured.
147
OPTIONS
The patented Model 1402 Pilot Valve allows the effective pressure range of all Groth pilot operated valves to be as low as 2.0" WC (depending on valve model, size and materials of construction). The Model 1402 Pilot Valve functions as a 4-way valve and the main valve is supplied with a double acting actuator. Below set pressure, the pilot uses tank pressure to pressurize the upper chamber of the actuator and vents the lower chamber. At set pressure, the pilot exhausts the upper chamber and pressurizes the lower chamber, applying sufficient upward force to overcome the weight of the valve stem assembly. The action is modulating and non-flowing (the pilot only emits vapors while the main valve actuator is being exhausted). The pilot valve pressure setting is adjustable throughout the range of 2.0" to 8.0" WC. It is used for pressure relief only and is available with all applicable materials and options shown on pages 144-146.

PILOT OPERATED VALVES

Pilot operated valves are used to replace weight loaded or spring loaded valves in many applications to increase efficiency and reduce evaporation losses. Several advantages are obtained over the traditional type. For example, the process pressures may be closer to the set pressure than would be considered prudent and safe with the traditional valve. Additionally, greater conservation is obtained due to minimum product loss which in turn provides increased profits. The Groth 1400 Series valves provide safe, dependable, and accurate low pressure and/or vacuum protection. Full flow is attained at no more than 10% overpressure. This reduces the need for a large overpressure and saves product, which translates into profit. Blowdown may be adjusted to requirements between 0 and 10% of set pressure. The Models 1400 and 1420 incorporate a vacuum breaker.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
MODEL 1400 SERIES
Pilot operated valves for atmospheric and low pressure storage tanks
FEATURES BENEFITS
PILOT OPERATED Ease of precision settings. Only the pilot needs to be set. Lower profile and weight than spring operated models for high settings. Remote pilot sensing option allows the pilot to sense the true system pressure. Remote or manual blowdown available. Main valve remains tight to set pressure. Full open at less than 10% overpressure. Modulating action conserves product since valve opening is proportional to overpressure. Noise is reduced since the valve only opens fully when required. Soft seats seal tight to conserve product and minimize valve wear which improves reliability. Reduces maintenance costs since the valve can be completely serviced without removal from its mounting. Wide range of materials to meet most corrosive media and temperature applications at the lowest possible cost.

PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVE
OPERATION
The pilot operated valve is a self-contained system which does not require any external power or pressure source. The pilot valve, using system medium and pressure, automatically controls the actuator pressure to either open or close the main valve depending on the pressure setting of the pilot vs. the actual system pressures. System medium and pressure is sensed at the pickup fitting just above the inlet flange. In the case of remote sensing, the pickup point is directly on the vessel and usually close to the valve inlet. The medium and pressure is then channeled to the pilot inlet and is redistributed to the sense chamber and to the actuator. Under normal system operating conditions, the same pressure is acting downward against the actuator and upwards against the seat pallet. Since the
154
actuator has a larger area than the seat pallet, the net force is downward which will press the pallet against the seat and thus keep the main valve closed. While the pilot and main valve are closed, there is no bleed to the atmosphere. When the system pressure rises to the pilot set point due to an overpressure condition, the upward force in the pilot sense chamber will overcome the downward spring force to lift the pilot stem. As the stem lifts, it opens the pilot seat to allow flow through the pilot and out to the atmosphere (in applications where nothing is permitted to discharge directly into the atmosphere, the pilot discharge may be plumbed to the main valve outlet for channeling to a collection header. Notify the vendor if this is the situation in case compensating adjustments need to be made). The flow through the pilot and adjustable orifice will cause a
pressure drop downstream of the orifice which in turn causes the pressure in the actuator to drop. When the actuator pressure decreases to a point where the upward force on the seat pallet is greater than the downward force of the actuator, the main valve will open. The amount the main valve opens depends on the system overpressure. The greater the overpressure, the wider the main valve opens, until full open is obtained at approximately 10% overpressure. After the excess pressure has been relieved and the system pressure is again below the set point of the pilot, the valve will return to its normal closed position.

Air operated valves are used to replace weight loaded, spring loaded, and pilot operated valves in severe application where polymerization and crystallization may take place and plug as well as corrode the control orifices. The air operated valve increases valve efficiency and reduces evaporation losses. The pressure switch coupled with a solenoid valve and using plant instrument air instead of corrosive product vapor provides a bubble tight seal in the valve. Additionally, the use of clean air greatly reduces maintenance time when compared with the pilot operated valve. By using the air operated valve, remote sensing is provided by the pressure switch. This
valve provides greater conservation due to minimum product loss which in turn adds to the profits at the bottom line. The Groth 1500 Series group provides safe, dependable, and accurate low pressure and/or vacuum on your storage tank. A range of pressure and vacuum requirements may be easily set. Full flow is obtainable at set point and the snap acting feature provides immediate efficiency. This reduces the requirement for large overpressure and saves product, translating into profit. The standard valve may incorporate a vacuum breaker when desired.

INLET INLET
The 1500 Series Air Operated Valve is available in five basic models: the 1500, 1520, 1530, 1560, and 1580. The 1500 and 1520 are combination pressure/vacuum valves. The 1500 discharges to the atmosphere and 1520 has an outlet flange for pipe-away applications. The 1530 is a pressure only valve that discharges to atmosphere. The 1560 may be used for pressure or vacuum for pipe-away applications. All valves are held in the closed position by low pressure plant air. When the air pressure is removed, the valve is forced open by the process pressure or vacuum. Full open position is achieved as low as 5" WC pressure or vacuum in some cases. The system is composed of the air operated valve, a pressure switch and a three-way solenoid valve. The pressure switch is attached to the tank or vessel and connected to the solenoid valve which controls the instrument air or N2 line. This is the normal configuration but if desired or necessary more than one switch or solenoid valve may be used. Placement on the tank for the
pressure switch and placement of the solenoid valve may be located to meet your requirements. The pressure switch is adjusted to the desired valve set point. When the pressure in the tank reaches the set point, a signal is sent to the solenoid valve which is de-energized and the plant air is cut off and exhausted. This releases the pressure on the valve actuator allowing the main valve seat pallet to move up thereby venting the tank. In a similar manner, the reverse takes place when the set point pressure is reached when the valve is open. The pressure switch energizes the solenoid valve which is then energized to open. This opening permits the line to open and plant instrument air enters the actuator forcing the main valve seat pallet to move down closing the valve which eliminates the tank vapor flow.

APPLICATIONS
Blanket gas regulators from Groth Corporation ensure that a constant gas pressure is maintained in the vapor space of a storage tank. A blanket gas regulator supplies an inert gas to prevent a vacuum from developing when liquid is removed from a tank, to maintain the desired blanket pressure when the temperature drops, and to prevent outside air from contaminating the tank or creating a flammable or explosive environment. A blanket gas pressure as low as 0.5" water column prevents outside air and moisture from entering the storage vessel and reduces the evaporation of the stored product to a negligible amount. The result is conserved product, great reduction in emissions, and prevention of internal tank corrosion. The simple design of a Groth blanket gas regulator eliminates the need for a multiple regulator system or for complicated pilot operated blanketing valves. Groth units have totally balanced chambers to offer high accuracy and reliability, and ensure a leak-tight design without the need for a pilot valve to operate the unit, thus reducing maintenance costs.

OPTIMUM PROTECTION
For optimum protection of a tank and to meet regulatory requirements, each tank should be protected by 1) a properly-sized blanket gas regulator, to maintain the vapor pressure in the tank, 2) a properly-sized pressure/vacuum relief valve or pilot operated valve, to release the vapor during pump-in or thermal expansion, and 3) a properly-sized emergency relief valve to protect against pressure rise due to external fire. Tank protection systems can be combined across multiple tanks, but careful consideration must be given to provide adequate relief and input capacity and to prevent fouling or clogging of system piping. Consult Groth Corporation for assistance in these situations.

ADDITIONAL DATA FOR USE WITH GROTH'S FLOW TABLE
TPD1
IN RESPONSE TO THE MANY REQUESTS FOR AN EASY REFERENCE, WHICH WILL PERMIT THE QUICK DETERMINATION OF FLOW AND PRESSURE QUANTITIES THAT ARE BETWEEN THE STATED FLOW CAPACITIES SHOWN ON THE FLOW TABLES OR BEYOND THOSE INCLUDED ON THE TABLES, WE ARE PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING FORMULAS AND INFORMATION. THESE FORMULAS ASSUME THAT THE VALVE IS FULL OPEN (100% OVERPRESSURE)
INTERPOLATION ON FLOW TABLES

1. To obtain flow capacities that are in between stated flow capacities on the chart, use the following formula:
2. To determine flow at a pressure (vacuum) beyond the limit of the flow capacity table, use the following formula:
Fn =
Pn Fn Ph Fh Pl Fl = =
(Pn - Pl) X (Fh - Fl) (Ph - Pl)
sqrt (Pa/Pmax) * Fmax = CF

3. To determine pressure (vacuum) at a flow beyond the limit of the flow capacity table, use the following formula:
+ Fl
Set pressure to be interpolated. Flow corrected to correspond to the new set pressure Pn. = Next higher set pressure shown on table above Pn. = Flow at Ph ; shown on table. = Next lower set pressure shown on table below Pn. = Flow at Pl ; shown on table. Note: All pressures are gauge pressure. C factor must then be applied, if applicable.
(Fr2/Fmax2) * Pmax = CP
Pa = Fr = Pmax = Pmax = Fmax = CP = CF = Allowable pressure (vacuum), beyond the limits of the table. Required flow, beyond the limits of the table. Maximum tank pressure or pressure drop shown in the table for flame arresters and free vents. 2x maximum set pressure shown in the table for all other valves. Maximum flow shown in the table. Pressure at required flow. Flow at allowable pressure.
Ph
4. To approximate flow through a larger unit, multiply the 12 unit capacity (at the desired flow pressure) by the following constants:

STANDARD SETTINGS AND MAXIMUM TANK WORKING PRESSURE
1200A SERIES VALVES
TPD2
Due to the modular construction of Groth pressure/vacuum relief valves, internal components can be utilized which permit settings as low as 0.5 oz/in2 and as high as 15 psig. Similarly, vacuum relief valves may withstand tank working pressures as high as 100 psig (special construction required). However, the light weight formed pallets required for low vacuum settings may not withstand the high working pressures, and the heavier machined plate pallets required for high working pressures may not permit low vacuum settings. The following table defines the minimum vacuum setting as a function of the maximum tank working pressures for Models 1201B, 1221B, 1300A, and 1360A valves based on the dead weight of each pallet assembly.

PILOT OPERATED VALVE/ MODES OF FAILURE
TPD3
A pilot operated pressure relief valve uses tank pressure acting on the actuator diaphragm to hold the valve closed, while tank pressure acting on the pallet attempts to force it open. The pilot directs tank pressure into the valve actuator below set pressure and atmospheric pressure into the actuator above set pressure. If any part of the pilot operated system fails, the valve actuator pressure will be vented and tank pressure on the pallet will force the valve open, for example: If the actuator diaphragm fails, the actuator will be vented to the valve outlet. If the pilot valve diaphragm fails, actuator pressure will be vented to atmosphere through the failed diaphragm. If a pilot valve component [spring, seat/seal, etc.] fails which prevents the pilot from holding tank pressure, the actuator will be vented to atmosphere. Therefore, the mode of failure is fail open. A pilot operated vacuum relief valve uses tank vacuum acting on the actuator diaphragm to force the valve open, while tank vacuum acting on the pallet attempts to hold it closed. The pilot valve directs atmospheric pressure into the valve actuator below set pressure and tank vacuum into the actuator above set pressure. If a pilot valve component [spring, seat/seal, etc.] fails which allows the pilot to supply tank vacuum to the actuator, the valve will open prematurely. However, if a part of the system fails which prevents the supply of tank vacuum to the valve actuator above set pressure, tank vacuum acting on the pallet will hold the valve closed indefinitely, for example: If the actuator diaphragm fails, the actuator will be vented to the valve outlet. If the pilot valve diaphragm fails, the pilot valve will not open, and will continue to direct atmospheric pressure to the actuator above set pressure. Therefore, the mode of failure may be fail closed. When a Model 1402 Pilot Valve is used to provide additional opening force at low tank pressure, the failure of either the pilot valve diaphragm or the valve actuator diaphragm will prevent pressurizing the actuator. In this case, the weight of the valve stem assembly will tend to hold the valve closed. The valve may not achieve full open flow capacity until tank pressure reaches 4"-7" WC. The reliability of molded Teflon1 diaphragms has been proven by accelerated cycle tests under maximum overpressure conditions. Therefore, it is good tank protection practice to use pilot operated vacuum relief valves or Model 1402 pilot valves under operating conditions. However, additional emergency or safety vacuum relief valves should be provided for tank protection in case of an operating valve failure.
