The Shand & Jurs Model 94110 Vacuum Vent has been designed
utilizing over 75 years experience in the development of quality safety and
conservation fittings. The function of this vent is to relieve vacuum conditions
in liquid product storage tanks, and also withstand the pressure of the stored
product when not operating under a vacuum.
Vacuum breathing requirements of some
petroleum products may vary so much from pressure breathing, that it is sometimes
desirable and more economical to have separate vents to perform these respective
functions.
A minimum number of model options are required to cover the wide
variety of fluids and temperatures encountered in the petroleum, chemical and
general process industries. Many trims, body materials and settings are standard
options for those few conditions where standard construction is unsuited.
Standard materials of construction include low copper aluminum, steel, stainless
steel or cast iron body. Metal seats are provided to withstand high pressures
to which the vent may be subjected.
The body is self-draining and drip rings
keep condensates from the seating surfaces. The Teflon diaphragm of the pallet
has high resistance to adhesion by ice and gum formation, thus preventing
sticking to the seat ring.
