No hammering Easy replaceable structure
Complies of IMO MSC/Circ. 677
Comply with ISO standard 15364
Meets vapor control system of USCG
Approved by the administrations
Approved by classification societies
The Marine Safety Committee approved amendments to paragraph 1.2.4 of the Revised standards for design, testing and locating of devices to
prevent the passage of flame into cargo tanks in tankers (MSC/Circ.677), as follows :
"1.2.4 Devices should be tested and located in accordance with these standards. In addition to these standards,
pressure/vacuum valves should comply with ISO standard 15364:2000 " Ships and marine technology Pressure/vacuum valves for
cargo tanks".
The ISO standard requires that valves are fitted with a device to indicate its position. And, the Maritime Safety Committee
agreed that this does not mean an indicator has to be fitted but that the position of the valve should be visually understood in
any way.

Purpose
NEWISOHV series high velocity pressure / vacuum valve is designed to prevent the flame passage into
cargo tanks and to relieve excessive over pressure or under vacuum of cargo tanks during cargo loading,
discharging, ballasting and thermal variations.
Also, our valve could be used to device for gas freeing of cargo tanks and for preventing penetration of sea
water into water ballast tanks during valve and deck are submerged under seawater level due to vessel's
rolling, pitching and stranding in case of installation on ballast tank.

for gas free cover of cargo tank

¢º Optional arrangement 2.
for water ballast tanks
Operation
NewISOHV series could be installed on water ballast tanks when ballast tank is inserted. In case of valve's
submerging under the sea water due to rolling, pitching and stranding, this valve is designed to prevent
penetration of sea water into ballast tanks.
Although the NEWISOHV series high velocity valve is submerged under sea water, sea water is not
penetrated into water ballast tank due to closing of pressure disc and tightness of float on vacuum side.
This arrangement could be reduced ship dead weight and complex piping system without extension vent pipe
near ship center.

Tank venting systems should be designed and operated so as to ensure that neither pressure nor vacuum created in the cargo
tanks during or unloading exceeds tank design parameters. The main factors to be considered in the sizing of a tank venting system are as follows

SOLAS Chap. ¥±2. Reg. 59.1.2.3 (added)
A secondary means of allowing full flow relief of vapor, air or inert gas mixtures to prevent overpressure or underpressure in the event of failure of the
arrangements in SOLAS Reg. 59. 1.2.2.
Where the arrangements are combined with other tanks, either stop valves or other acceptable means shall be provided to
isolate each cargo tank. Where stop valves are fitted, they shall be provided with locking arrangements which shall be under the
control of the responsible ship's officer. There shall be a clear visual indication of the operational status of the valves or other acceptable means.
Where tanks have been isolated, it shall be ensured that relevant isolating valves are opened before cargo loading or ballasting or discharging of
those tanks is commenced. Any isolation must continue to permit the flow caused by thermal variations in a cargo tank in accordance with
paragraph SOLAS Reg. 59. 1.2.1.
If cargo loading and ballasting or discharging of a cargo tank or cargo tank group is intended, which is isolated from a common venting system,
that cargo tank or cargo tank group shall be fitted with a means for overpressure or underpressure protection as required in paragraph SOLAS
Reg. 59. 1.2.3.
Ships constructed before 1 July 1998 shall comply with the requirements of paragraphs 1.2.3 and by the date of the first scheduled drydocking
after 1 July 1998, but nor later than 1 July 2001.
MSC/Circ.929 & MEPC/Circ. 362
The 1996 Amendments to SOLAS introduce new requirements to cargo tank venting systems for oil tankers and chemical tankers. In substance
the new requirements call for double pressure vacuum protection of cargo tanks during loading, discharging and ballasting. The primary as well
as secondary means for p/v protection may be fitted to each cargo tank or in a common venting system or divided, e.g. primary means in a
common system and secondary means fitted to cash cargo tank as followings.
