The Groth Models 1360A & 1361A are used when vacuum relief is the only requirement. Intake relief necessary under working conditions is achieved by a spring or weight loaded pallet. This feature reduces the possibility of tank damage due to an excessive vacuum condition. Valve size must be selected to perform required vacuum relief under operating and thermal conditions.

Flow Capacity Calculation
Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% over-vacuum. Read the flow capacity at 100% over-vacuum directly from the table above. Use linear interpolation if the set vacuum is not listed. If the allowable over-vacuum is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the appropriate “C” factor from the table. If allowable over-vacuum is more than 100%, consult your Groth Representative.
Calculate the percentage over-vacuum by the following formula. Note that all pressures are gauge pressure expressed in the same units of measure.
Pf = Flowing pressure
Ps = Set pressure
% OV = [(Pf - Ps)/Ps] x 100
Calculate flow capacity at less than 100% over-vacuum according to the following example. Example Flow Capacity Calculation 6”
Example to find “C” factor from table:
Read “C” factor for 75% Over-vacuum at intersection of row 70 and column 5
“C” factor at 75% OV = 0.87
