The HX6/HXF6 single breather valve is a one-way pressure-relief breather valve installed on the top of fixed roof tanks, featuring a large flow path design optimized for high venting capacity requirements. When the tank pressure exceeds the set value, the pressure disc automatically opens to release excess gas; it reseals tightly when pressure returns to normal. The valve can be optionally equipped with a built-in flame arrestor and features standard flange connections for piping to a recovery system or direct atmospheric discharge. Its core purpose is to achieve efficient, set-pressure venting during rapid tank filling, high ambient temperature, or nitrogen purging conditions that generate large volumes of volatile gases, preventing overpressure deformation while reducing media evaporation loss. It is suitable for tanks that are insensitive to vacuum or already equipped with independent gas intake devices.

HX6 and HXF6 flame arrester single inhalation valves product diagram

Features:

1. One-way relief function: Only the pressure disc operates, automatically opening during overpressure without vacuum intake; suitable for tanks with separate gas supply systems.

2. Built-in flame arrestor: Stainless steel corrugated plate flame arrestor core effectively blocks external flame propagation, meeting petrochemical tank fire protection standards.

3. Set-pressure operation with reliable sealing: Flat or tapered hard seal provides stable opening pressure and zero leakage when closed.

4. Large venting capacity with low pressure drop: Optimized flow path ensures low breathing resistance, meeting venting demands during rapid tank filling.

5. All-weather protection structure: Rain and dust cover with internal drainage prevents water accumulation, suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

6. Corrosion-resistant materials: Body available in aluminum alloy, cast steel, or stainless steel; disc and flame arrestor core in stainless steel for various corrosive media.

7. Flexible connection options: Standard flange connections allow horizontal or vertical installation, facilitating connection to recovery piping or atmosphere.

8. Easy maintenance: Removable disc assembly; flame arrestor core can be extracted for cleaning, facilitating periodic inspection and maintenance.
