Applications: 6 3 4 2 1 5 • Large scale chemical plant – Tank protection – Blow-down systems • Oil extraction, transport and processing – Drilling platforms – Oilfields (“Christmas trees”) – Storage tank facilities – Refineries 3 API 526 is a purchase specification in which nominal diameters [1], flange pressure ratings [2], centre to face dimensions [3], flow areas [4], body [5] and spring materials [6], and their service limits are stipulated for “API safety valves”. API safety valves are used worldwide in the petrochemical industry, both on- and off-shore. <strong>The</strong>se applications are characterised by standardised plants, blow-down systems and long pipework sections. <strong>The</strong> capacities of API safety valves are relatively low in relation to their nominal diameters. <strong>The</strong> LESER type 526 combines the requirements of the API standards and the ASME Code with the tried and tested service reliability of the LESER product range.
