Introduction
Crosby® Styles JOS-E and JBS-E spring-
loaded pressure relief valves have been
engineered to provide high quality over-
pressure protection for air, gas, steam,
vapor, liquid and two-phase applications in
an exceptionally rugged, standardized
design to the process and power
industries.
Standard sizes are 1 D 2 to 8 T2 10 with
inlet flange ratings of ANSI Cl 150, 300,
600, 900, 1500 and 2500. Standard outlet
flanges are ANSI Cl 150 or Cl 300
depending on valve size or rating. Inlet and
outlet center-to-face dimensions conform
to API Standard 526, Flanged Steel
Pressure Relief Valves.
Styles JOS-E and JBS-E pressure relief
valves are manufactured in accordance
with ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section
VIII and capacities are certified by the
National Board of Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Inspectors.
All Crosby pressure relief valve castings
and forgings are procured to ASME/ASTM
material specifications and are available in
a number of material combinations such as
Monel®, Hastelloy® and stainless steel. In
addition, Styles JOS-E and JBS-E relief
valves offer a number of special material
combinations such as Titanium, Duplex
Stainless Steel and Inconel®, and are
available on application.
Dimensions of flanges conform to current
ANSI Standards. All steel raised face
flanges are spiral concentric serrated finish
with 45 to 55 grooves per inch and a finish
between 125 Ra and 200 Ra. Other flange
facings, such as Ring Type Joint, are
available on request. Technical Data

Dual Certification
Crosby patented Style JLT (Figure 3) pressure relief valves offer a significant increase in capacity at
10% overpressure resulting in the economic use of a smaller valve as well as a reduction in inlet
and discharge piping costs. The JLT trim is a field-proven patented design providing stable, non-
chattering operation for liquid service.
The JLT design is also capacity certified on gas and vapor service and can be applied in two-
phase flow applications. The JLT design is a logical choice for applications where the process fluid
may be a liquid or a gas depending on the overpressure condition.
Seat Design
Styles JOS-E and JBS-E relief valves are available with flat metal-to-metal seats or soft seats. The
JOS-E and JBS-E two-piece disc holder/disc insert construction provides thermal balancing
assuring maximum seat tightness, and meets the requirements of API Standard 527, Seat
Tightness of Pressure Relief Valves.
Where system operating conditions permit, soft seat or elastomer seat construction is available as
an option. The Crosby O-ring soft seat (Figure 4) is a two-seat design, with a metal-to-metal seat
located downstream of the soft seat. The O-ring is the primary seal. The secondary flat metal-to-
metal seat controls the compression of the O-ring and also serves as a secondary seal should the

Standard O-ring materials include Viton®1, BUNA-N, EPR2, TFE3, Silicone Rubber and Kalrez4.

Styles JOS-E and JLT-JOS-E conventional pressure relief valves
Crosby Styles JOS-E and JLT-JOS-E are the standard conventional relief valve designs for
applications when the discharge is to the atmosphere or when the discharge is to a low pressure
exhaust system designed to contain the process fluid. Valves subject to flashing fluids may require
a balanced bellows type valve (see page 6).
This exceptionally rugged design features a high guiding surface ratio, corrosion resistant trim,
upgraded materials of construction and several other design improvements to ensure ease of
maintenance as well as a greater degree of parts interchangeability.
For liquid service applications, Style JLT-JOS-E relief valves provide stable operating performance
using the widely industry recognized liquid trim design patented by Crosby. The disc holder in the
liquid trim design has been engineered to allow the valve to achieve full lift at 10% overpressure
without valve chatter.

JOS-E, JBS-E,JLT-JOS-E, JLT-JBS-E Pressure Relief Valve
Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E balanced bellows construction
Crosby Styles JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E are pressure relief valves incorporating a bellows which is
balanced to minimize the effect of back pressure on the performance characteristics. The
balanced bellows design offsets the effects of variable back pressure on valve set pressure. The
balanced bellows valve can also handle applications involving high built-up back pressure.
Additionally, the bellows serves to isolate the guide, spindle, spring and other parts contained in
the bonnet chamber from corrosive fluids or media such as a highly viscous fluid or slurry which
could render the relief valve inoperative.
For liquid service applications, Crosby offers Style JLT-JBS-E relief valves.
The standard bellows assembly of the Crosby Style JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E threads onto the disc
holder with a bellows tailpiece and gasket. A welded bellows attachment is available as an option.
The JBS-E and JLT-JBS-E bellows and bellows flange are supplied in Inconel 625 as standard
material for improved durability, corrosion resistance and service life.
