*) Note: if control devices are used with both overpressure and underpressure release, then the min. gap
between the two setpoints pdso and pdsu has to be at least 10% larger than the sum of the two differential
values (Δpwo + Δpwu).

pdso - pdsu ≥ 1.1 (Δpwo + Δpwu)

**) The higher response precision category is valid for the first half, the lower response precision category is valid
for the second half of the setting range.

The safety shut-off valve (SSV) RMG 720 is designed to automatically shut off the gas flow of a gas pressure
regulating station, as soon as the pressure within the system to be protected rises above or falls below
pre-set limits.

The RMG 720 consists of a main valve body and a measuring unit as an actuating element. For regular
maintenance the actuating element can easily be subjected to a visual inspection. In case of failure the
actuating modules can be replaced by spare units, and the repair works can be carried out in the workshop
without having to shut down the
gas pressure regulating system.

All measuring units of the safety shut-off valve are equipped with a spring-loaded diaphragm to block or release
the ball mechanism of the tripping device. The diaphragm assembly is suitable for both overpressure and/or
underpressure release. The response pressures for overpressure release and underpressure release can be
adjusted independently from each other.

A pressure compensating valve is integrated into the valve plate. This valve can easily be operated by hand
under all pressure conditions, thus ensuring pressure balance at the valve plate before opening the main valve.

From size DN 50 upwards the valve stem is provided to go through the pressure chamber. This design feature
guarantees a perfect pressure balance, and any changes of service pressure have no influence on the release
accuracy.

The SSV control element shuts off the gas flow as soon as the pressure within the system to be protected rises
above or falls below pre-set response points. This shut-off is effected by the measuring diaphragm and the
tripping bush moving into the release position with the ball mechanism disengaging the valve stem to close the
SSV control element. The valve can be re-set by hand only, after the outlet pressure at the measuring point has
been decreased or increased to a value lying within the range of the pressure differentials to be observed for
re-engagement.
