The Heavy Duty Design of Type 459

offers the possibility to easily obtain
special material versions. The fact that
all product wetted parts are machined
from bar stock materials makes it easi-
er and faster to fulfill almost all materi-
al requirements according to the mate-
rial availability.

Note s: 1 The bellows for type 459/462 is back pressure compensating for orifice size 0.206 Inch2
(133 mm2). It is over compensating for orifice size 0.099 Inch2 (63,6 mm2) and under compensating
for orifice size 0.373 Inch2 (241 mm2). Please ask factory for details.
2 Type 4594 with heavy duty body: up to 1022 F, the temperature limits for type 462 depend on
other parts e.g. soft seal materials.

3 The so called built up back pressure limit defines limit for which the proper function of the
pressure relief valve is ensured. The superimposed back pressure limit of a bellows refers only
to the static stability of the bellows design and does not consider the influence of the backpressure
on the opening and closing of a pressure relief valve.
Conversion kits are available for an

easy change from a conventional
design to a balanced bellows design.
Conversion kits contain all necessary
parts which must be replaced (bellows,
spacer, spindle and gaskets).

Heating Jacket
Application
Pressure relief valves in systems to be
protected from media which are vis-
cous, sticky or have a tendency to
crystallize out of solution can be fitted
with a heating jacket.
For type 459 the outlet body is fitted
with a fabricated heating jacket. The
position of the heating connections is
shown in the drawing.
Balanced Bellows Design

For safety relief valves with balanced
bellows, the bonnet spacer required to
house the bellows is fitted with an
additional heating jacket. Both heating
jackets are joined by a tubing.

Lift Indicator
(proximity switch)
Lift indicators are an important compo-

nent for automation. They are used to
monitor operating status.
As an option, Series 459 can be provided B A 94
with an inductive proximity switch.
The lift indicator will indicate an open-
ing of the pressure relief valve when the
vessel pressure has increased so that
the valve opens with a pop.
LESER provides DC proximity switches
type N using two-wire technology.
These intrinsically safe proximity swit-
ches can be used in explosion hazard
area zone 0. Other types of switches
can be used as well.
The lift indicator option is available for

series 459 in combination with the
packed lever H4 either with or without
proximity switch.
