group IIA (NEC group D MESG > 0.9 mm).
When the set pressure is reached, the valve starts to open and reaches full lift within 10% overpressure. This unique 10% technology enables a set pressure that is only 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) or maximum allowable working vacuum (MAWV) of the tank. After years of development, this typical opening characteristic of a safety relief valve is now also available for the low pressure range.

Main component - PROTEGO® flame arrester
If the set pressure is exceeded, explosive gas/product vapor/air mixtures are released into the atmosphere. If this mixture ignites, the integrated PROTEGO® flame arrester unit (3) revents flame transmission into the tank. If additional mixture continues to flow and stabilized occurs, the integrated flame arrester prevents
