Pipe Rupture Valves series RS 32-P / RS 32-W

Series RS…-P-… / RS…-W-…, pipe rupture valves, which belong to the safety valves group, are available as screw-in cartridges or as a body-mounted design. Pipe rupture valves are used wherever a load must not be allowed to drop rapidly and without control if a pipe or hose bursts (ex. uncontrolled movement of the cylinder). In its normal position the pipe rupture valve is open and allows the flow in both directions. When the actuating flow rate is exceeded – by a hose burst, for example – the pipe rupture valve closes suddenly and blocks flow form Z to P without leakage. The pipe rupture valve opens again automatically when the pressure at port P is higher than the pressure at port Z.
