Anderson Greenwood relief valve series

Series Type Key features
Series 200 Pop action pilot-operated safety valve Full lift at set pressure with no main valve throttling, which helps prevent freeze-ups in cryogenic and refrigerant service
Series 400 Modulating pilot-operated relief valve Opens only as far as needed to relieve the overpressure, which cuts product loss on each relief event
Series 800 High-pressure modulating pilot-operated relief valve For high-pressure gas and liquid service
Series 90/9000 Pressure relief valve Pilot-operated relief for process and storage applications

In a pilot-operated valve, system pressure holds the main valve closed and a small pilot decides when to open it. The seat stays tight up to set pressure, so the valve can run closer to set pressure than a spring valve. Because the design is balanced, back pressure does not change the lift. Soft seats give bubble-tight shut-off, and metal seats are used for high-temperature service. API 526 centre-to-face dimensions are available for the Series 200, 400, 500 and 800, so these valves can replace a spring-loaded valve without piping changes.

Where Anderson Greenwood valves are used

In Oman and the GCC, Anderson Greenwood pilot-operated valves protect separators, compressor stations, pipelines, gas plant vessels, LNG and refrigeration systems and storage tanks. Plants mostly order like-for-like replacements, pilots and soft goods kits for planned recertification.

Ordering: what we need

Send the full model number from the nameplate, the set pressure, inlet and outlet size and rating, the orifice, the body, trim and seat materials, the service fluid and temperature, the back pressure, and whether the valve needs a field test connection, a backflow preventer or a remote sense line. For a soft goods kit, the model number and serial number are usually enough.

FAQ

Questions about Anderson Greenwood

Common questions about Anderson Greenwood equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.

01How do I identify an Anderson Greenwood Series 90 or 9000 valve from its nameplate?
The nameplate carries the model number, serial number, set pressure, orifice or size and the capacity. The model number encodes the series, pilot type, connection sizes and materials, so please send it complete, or send a clear nameplate photo. With the serial number the manufacturer can trace the original build, which is the safest basis for a like-for-like replacement or a soft goods kit.
02Where are Series 90/9000 pilot-operated valves normally used?
They are low-pressure pilot-operated relief valves, so the typical duty is tank and vessel protection: low-pressure storage tanks, vessels and low-pressure piping systems. A pilot-operated design stays tight close to set pressure, which reduces product loss compared with a weight-loaded vent. Suitability for your case must be checked against the manufacturer's sizing data.
03Who owns Anderson Greenwood today?
Anderson Greenwood was established in 1947 in Houston, Texas, by Ben Anderson, Marvin Greenwood and Lomis Slaughter Jr. It passed through Keystone International, Tyco Flow Control and Pentair, and has been part of Emerson since 2017.
04Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Anderson Greenwood?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier and is not an authorized distributor or agent of Anderson Greenwood. We source Anderson Greenwood valves and parts through commercial channels, check the model number against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order, on request.
05What should I send to get a quotation for an Anderson Greenwood relief valve?
Send the model and serial number, set pressure and vacuum setting, fluid and relieving temperature, required capacity, back pressure, inlet and outlet size and flange rating, materials, and the design code. If you only need spare parts, the serial number and a list of the parts or kit are enough for us to check the correct items with the manufacturer's documents.
