TEMET BLAST VALVE PV-KK

Applications
The PV-KK blast valve is used as air intake and outlet valve in Civil
Defence and military shelters and blast protected industrial
facilities. The valve is particularly suitable for low pressure
applications within the oil refining industry.
Specification
Manufacturer of PV-KK blast valve is Temet, Helsinki Finland.
The PV-KK blast valve block comprises three spring balanced
closing elements moving in a slot and closing the air passage
against the valve seats in response to both positive and negative
(suction) phase of the blast. The valve blocks are mounted in
structural steel wall frames to be cast in concrete wall. The wall
frames are of flush design leaving no parts to extent beyond the
concrete wall surface.The valve is completely corrosion resistant.
The valve closing elements are made of special non-corroding
aluminum alloy, all springs are made of stainless steel, and the
valve body and wall frame made of structural steel are hot dip
galvanized. The valve can be installed in upright or horizontal
position in a wall or ceiling/floor.
Design Criteria
The PV-KK blast valve is made in accordance with specific
provisions issued by the Finnish Ministry of Interior. The PV-KK
blast valve also meets the requirements of the Swiss Federal
Office of Civil Defence. The PV-KK is type tested and approved for
use by the Technical Research Centre of Finland / VTT Building
Technology, an Independent Testing Authority mandated to
perform type inspection for shelter equipment and systems by the
Ministry of Interior. Type test reports as well as additional test data
are available upon request.
Test and Performance Data

The valve is designed and tested to withstand multiple long
duration (peak duration > 70 ms) blast loads having peak reflected
overpressure of 1100 kPa (11 bar) and short duration (positive
phase duration < 5.0 ms) blast loads having peak reflected Blast Valve PV-KK-4
overpressure of 1500 kPa (15 bar) while retaining its full functional
ability.
Pass through (leakage) pressure and impulse of the valve do not
exceed the values of 80 kPa (0.8 bar) and 35 Pa s (0.35 bar ms)
respectively as measured on the average tributary wall area
occupied by the valve.
The valve is shock tested with a mechanical shock of the
installation base having a maximum acceleration of 30 g and
velocity of 1.5 m/s.
The valve is designed to function within the operating temperature
range of -20 …+200oC.

PV-KK Blast Valve dimensions
BLAST SIDE The standard PV-KK wall frame can incorporate 1 to 10 valve
blocks. The overall width of the frame is always 510 mm and the
A-A width of the opening is 410 mm. The total height and the height of
the opening are dependent on the number of valve blocks as
indicated in the table below.
