High-Reliability Vacuum Pressure Flame-Arrest Vent Valve – For Tank Trucks and Storage Tanks
In gas stations, oil storage depots, and petroleum transportation, maintaining safe internal tank pressure is critical. The HY628V / HY628V-XXFA series vacuum pressure vent valves are designed to automatically regulate the opening and closing of the valve whenever the tank’s internal pressure exceeds or falls below safe levels. This ensures structural integrity, reduces oil vapor loss, and provides reliable safety for storage operations. These valves are typically installed at the top of tank vent pipes at a recommended height of approximately 4.5 meters to maintain tightness under normal conditions.
This product series is known by various names worldwide: in English, it is called Vacuum Pressure Relief Valve, Tank Vent Valve, or Pressure-Vacuum Safety Valve; in French, Soupape de décompression sous vide et pression; in German, Vakuum-Druck-Entlüftungsventil; in Spanish, Válvula de alivio de presión y vacío; in Italian, Valvola di sfiato a pressione e vuoto; and in some Asian markets, it is referred to as Vacuum Pressure Safety Vent or Explosion-Proof Tank Vent Valve. Regardless of location, these valves provide reliable pressure balance and operational safety.
The HY628V series features a polypropylene top/body with anodized aluminum base and poppet, combined with a stainless steel mesh screen to prevent debris from entering the valve. The operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +50°C. International standard opening pressure is +3 inches of water column (~750Pa) for positive pressure and -8 inches of water column (~-2000Pa) for vacuum activation. For the Chinese domestic market, positive pressure opening is +9 inches of water column (~3000Pa) while vacuum activation remains -8 inches of water column (~-2000Pa). The valve automatically releases vapor when tank pressure exceeds the allowable limit through the pressure valve, and admits fresh air through the vacuum valve when pressure falls below the allowable negative level, maintaining a safe internal environment.
The HY628V-XXFA series adds a flame-arrestor to the HY628V base design. The flame-arrest body is cast aluminum with flange connection, and the internal arrestor element is foldable aluminum alloy, providing additional fire protection. This series also features closed-cell foam gaskets and customizable flange sizes to meet installation requirements for different storage tanks.
During installation, it is recommended to cycle the poppet up and down to ensure smooth operation, especially if the valve has been in storage. The built-in inlet screen prevents particles from entering the valve body, ensuring reliable sealing and operation. These valves not only reduce oil vapor losses but also provide automatic tank pressure regulation and fire safety, giving operators peace of mind.
Choosing the HY628V / HY628V-XXFA High-Reliability Vacuum Pressure Flame-Arrest Vent Valve ensures precise pressure management, overpressure protection, and flame-arrest safety for tank trucks, gas stations, and storage tank operations, delivering a safe, efficient, and dependable solution for every tank handling operation.
