Requirements depending on pipe classes and application

The requirements on the safety relief valve design, material grades and certificates of pressurised parts
as well as the scope and requirements of production testing depends on the application and pipe class.
The following DNV GL Rules are to be observed:

DNV GL Pt. 2, Ch. 1, Sec. 2 (Approval of material manufacturers)

Ch.2, Sec. 8 – 5 Castings for boilers, pressure vessels and piping systems
Sec. 8 – 7 Stainless steel castings
DNV GL Pt. 4, Ch. 6, Sec. 1 – Table 1 (pipe classes)
Sec. 1 – Table 4 (Certification requirements)
Sec. 2 - Table 3 (material certificates acc. to pipe classes)

In addition, for pressure vessels application

DNV GL Pt.4, Ch. 7, Sec.1 - General Requirements

Sec.2 - Materials
Sec.3 – Thermal - oil installations
Sec.7 – Manufacture, workmanship and testing

Application
The safety relief valves of type 437, 438 and 439 are type approved for application in piping systems
and on pressure vessels as specified in the Rules Pt.4 Ch.6 Piping Systems and Pt.4, Ch.7 Pressure
equipment.

Limitation
The valve types 437, 438 and 439 are not approved for installation on steam boiler.

Valves with threaded pipe connection are not approved for installation in piping systems conveying
flammable or toxic media. For these applications, the flanged version is to be used.
Refer to Pt.4, Ch.6 – Section 9 – 5 Detachable pipe connection.

Application in fuel gas systems is subject to separate approval for each installation.

Marking of product
For traceability to this type approval certificate each valve is to be provided with a name plate with at
least the following data:

Example
Manufacturer's name or trade mark LESER
Type designation 437 – H2
Nominal pressure rating Inlet PN400
Size inlet / outlet DN15
Diameter d0 [mm] 6
Set pressure 180bar
Coefficient of discharge KD / Media 0.904 S/G

Periodical assessment
For retention of the type approval certificate periodical assessments shall be carried out at
production places by DNVGL surveyor.
The objective of the periodical assessment is to verify that the design and production conditions for
the type approval have not been altered.

Main scope of the assessment:

- verification of the production and quality control system
- review of quality control documentation of recent deliveries
- review of drawings in production to verify any design changes which may have an impact on
data specified in the type approval certificate, performance and range of application
- verification of the product marking
Periodical assessment is to be performed after 2 years and after 3.5 years. A renewal assessment will be
performed at renewal of the certificate.
