DEP7
SG Iron
Excess Pressure Valve
Description
The DEP7 is an SG iron direct acting bellows sealed excess
pressure valve. The standard version has an EPDM diaphragm
limited to 125 °C and is suitable for steam and water
applications. Also available for oil applications is a Nitrile rubber
diaphragm (suffix 'N' i.e. DEP7B1N which is limited to 90 °C) .
Note: To protect the actuator diaphragm on steam
applications a WS4 water seal pot must be installed in the
upstream pressure signal line to the actuator.
Refer to TI-S12-03 for further details.

Sizing and selection for steam applications
The sizing chart below can be used to determine the Kv value of the valve for steam applications by plotting:

- Upstream pressure.

- Maximum valve pressure drop.

- Maximum steam load.

Where the Kv value is known, the chart can be used to determine pressure drop across the valve for any given flowrate.

Kv sizing example:
Maximum flowrate 1 500 kg/h
Upstream pressure 9 bar g (10 abs)
Maximum pressure drop 0.5 bar

Draw a horizontal line A - B at 10 abs.

At intersection with 0.5 pressure drop draw a vertical line C - D. Note: The sizing chart is
Draw a vertical line E - F at 1 500 kg/h. empirical and should not be
At intersection G, read the required Kv = 28. used for critical applications.

Sizing and selection for water applications

The sizing chart below can be used to determine the Kv value of the valve for water applications by plotting:

- Maximum flowrate.

- Maximum valve pressure drop.

Where the Kv value is known, the chart can be used to determine pressure drop across the valve for any given flowrate.

Kv sizing example:
Maximum flowrate 10 m 3 /h.
Maximum allowable pressure drop 0.3 bar.

Draw a horizontal line A - B at 10 m 3 /h.

Draw a vertical line C - D at 0.3 bar pressure drop. Note: The sizing chart is
At intersection E, read the required Kv = 19. empirical and should not be

Safety information, installation and maintenance

For full details see IM-S12-10 supplied with the product.

Installation note:
Caution: To protect the actuator diaphragm on steam applications a WS4 series water seal pot must be installed in the
upstream pressure signal line to the actuator, refer to TI-S12-03 for details.
The valve should be mounted vertically downwards in a horizontal pipeline with the direction of flow as indicated by the arrow on the
valve body. For applications with upstream temperatures below 125 °C the valve can alternatively be mounted vertically upwards.

How to order
Example: 1 off Spirax Sarco DN40 DEP7B3 direct acting pressure reducing valve having flanged PN25 connections.
Note: Add suffix 'N' if the Nitrile rubber diaphragm is required. i.e. DEP7B3N.
