What is the allowable back pressure percentage for a pilot-operated breathing valve?

Thread Content

I once encountered a pilot-operated breathing valve with a back pressure of 25 Kpag and a set pressure of 29 Kpag. The supplier thought there was a problem, so I asked what the allowable percentage of back pressure for such a valve is

Pilot-operated safety valve, with a back pressure not exceeding 60% of the valve’s set pressure. “See Volume 1 of the Process Piping Installation Design Manual”

The back pressure of a pilot-operated breathing valve should not exceed 60%, as this has no impact on the proper operation of the valve.
