Bailey 616D Safety Relief Valve
The Kunkle Bailey 616D safety relief valve is a spring-operated, high-capacity safety valve specifically designed for low-pressure air applications.
Commonly utilised on blowers or bulk transfer vehicles for road and rail transport, the Kunkle Bailey 616D safety relief valve offers essential overpressure protection for positive displacement air blowers, as well as associated tanks and pressure vessels.
Features:
- Engineered to provide precise relieving and re-seating pressures.
- Protected open discharge facilitates downward flow.
- Non-stick seating surfaces ensure a positive shut-off and prevent sticking.
- A combination of aluminium and gunmetal offers a lightweight yet extremely robust construction.
Specifications:
- Material: Body - Aluminium / Trim - PTFE & Bronze
- Sizes: 1.1/2" to 2" (DN40 to DN50)
- Connections: BSP Female inlet x Open discharge outlet
- Medium: Air
- Pressure Range: 0.2 to 2.5 barg (2.9 to 36.3 psig)
- Temperature Range: -30°C to 200°C
The Kunkle Bailey 616D safety relief valve is the ideal solution for maintaining safety and efficiency in your low-pressure air systems, ensuring reliable performance in various applications.

FSSCDN - Nanoscored Rupture Discs
The FSSCDN Nanoscored rupture disc features precision micro-scored petals with four, six, or more radial scores, ensuring rapid, controlled opening while minimizing the risk of petal separation. This design makes the disc particularly well suited for high burst pressure applications and demanding operating environments.
Engineered for use with gases and liquids, the FSSCDN performs reliably under cycling and pulsating conditions without compromising safety margins. In the event of overpressure, the disc activates within milliseconds and opens cleanly without fragmentation, making it an excellent solution for protecting safety relief valves.
The disc supports an operating-to-burst pressure ratio of up to 85% and offers excellent corrosion resistance, which can be further enhanced with an optional PTFE lining. In many installations, the disc can also withstand full vacuum conditions without the need for additional supports, providing greater installation flexibility.

FSKRDN - NanoScored Rupture Discs
The FSKRDN NanoScored rupture disc incorporates advanced technology to deliver highly reliable overpressure protection. The convex disc maintains its original shape during normal operation and only reverses at the set burst pressure. It supports operating-to-burst pressure ratios of up to 95% and withstands thousands of pressure cycles without loss of performance. When activated, the disc opens fully in milliseconds along the scored line, producing no fragments. Compared with conventional designs, it is less sensitive to temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for applications with wide temperature variations.
Thanks to its innovative construction, the FSKRDN can operate with liquids only, including in cycling and pulsating conditions, without compromising safety margins. It is particularly well suited for isolating safety relief valves. A wide selection of materials and optimized thickness provide excellent corrosion resistance, which can be further enhanced with an optional PTFE lining on the process side. The disc does not require vacuum support and is capable of withstanding high back pressures.
