SERIES 8300

The Series 8300 range of Pressure & Vacuum Breather

Valves minimize vapour losses from storage tanks
during operations, whilst preventing internal pressure
and vacuum conditions from exceeding the tank design
limits. Hence, both product and vessel are protected, as
well as the tank environmental conditions.
INSTALLATION
The Pressure & Vacuum Breather Valve should be
mounted on tank roof nozzles as close as possible to
the tank roof, to ensure that pressure under the pallet is
maintained within 3% of the tank pressure.
FLANGE ADAPTORS
A range of steel adaptor flanges is available for non-
standard drilling on tank nozzle flange and for use
where tank flanges differ dimensionally for valve
flanges.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Figures 1 and 3 - indicate the position of both the
pressure and vacuum pallets, when tank and
atmospheric pressure are equal. i.e. both pallets are
fully seated.
Figures 2 - shows the position of both pallets, as set
pressure is reached, with escaping vapour lifting the
pressure pallet and holding the vacuum pallet closed.
Figures 4 - shows the position of both pallets, as set
vacuum is reached, with atmospheric pressure lifting the
hinged vacuum pallet to allow ingress of air into the tank,
whilst holding the pressure pallet closed.
VALVE SIZING
Tables 1 and 2 indicate flow rates for Series 8300 Open
Vent Pressure & Vacuum Breather Valves (2" to 12") in
both cubic feet per hour and cubic meters per hour, of
standard air.
FEATURES
COMBINED UNITS
Series 8300 Pressure & Vacuum Breather Valves can
be fitted in combination with Series 8350 Flame
Arresters.
Note - This type of installation reduces valve flow
capacities and thus special sizing calculations are
applicable. (See Table 3)
CHEMICAL SERVICE
Series 8300 Pressure & Vacuum Breather Valves can
be supplied in a range of alternative materials for
chemical and/or cryogenic services and can be used
with air dryers fitted at the vacuum inlet port, to protect
those products which could be adversely affected by
normal atmospheric air.
It is suitable for wide range of services in the petroleum,
chemical and related industries for land tankages only.
LOW BLOW-DOWN
Blow-down is the difference between opening and
closing pressures.
The floating diaphragm operation ensures that blow-
down is minimised to 10% for pressure relief and 10-
15% for vacuum relief.
LOW LEAKAGE
Figure 5 - shows capability of the resilient diaphragm to
wrap around the edge of the pallet seat. The high ratio
of seating force to seating area provides a tight seal.
As the pressure or vacuum rises, the relevant pallet
begins to lift, but the diaphragm wrap around at the
edge of the seat maintains a good seal.
As the pressure or vacuum continues to rise, the pallet
lifts further, but the diaphragm naturally assumes a
good seal.
When pressure or vacuum reaches the set conditions,
the pallet opens fully.

Above values are for Open Vented Valves, use 80% of values for Closed Vent Valves. Over-pressures A = 0.5 in.w.g., B = 1.0 in.w.g., C = 1.5 in.w.g.
Above values are for Open Vented Valves, use 80% of values for Closed Vent Valves. Over-pressures A = 10 mm w.g., B = 20 mm w.g., C = 30 mm w.g.
