SHELL
Surge Arrestor shells are fabricated from carbon steel or stainless steel with a minimum 3.5 to 1 design safety factor at normal operating pressures. Surge Arrestor shells are designed in accordance to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 as standard.
BLADDER
Bladders are manufactured in-house to control the material blending, molding, and critical seam assembly and curing processes. It is widely accepted that Olaer USA bladders are the highest quality bladders in the industry. Bladders are offered in four different standard compounds to suit a variety of fluids and operating temperatures. Special compounds are available for unusual or severe applications.
BLADDER STEMS
All Surge Arrestors are fitted as standard with two-piece bladder stems with replaceable gas valve cartridge for ease of serviceablility. This allows for the gas valve to be replaced separate from the bladder.

PORT FLANGES
ANSI RF flanges, 150 and 300 lb., are supplied as standard. Sizes range from 1" thru 10" with special sizes available (consult factory).
SCREENS
Surge Arrestors are equipped with perforated screens to prevent bladder extrusion and improve system dampening.
TOP REPAIRABLE
25 gallon and larger welded and seamless units are supplied as top repairable. The top repairable design permits easy checking and maintenance of the bladder without removing the accumulator from the service line, saving time and money.
GAS VALVE
All accumulators are fitted with a gas valve for ease of gas precharging. 2.5 thru 10 gallon units are equipped with a cored gas valve cartridge (ISO4570-8V1) for ease of maintenance. 25 gallon and larger units are equipped with a poppet-type (m5288890) gas valve cartridge. For safety, all gas valves vent to atmosphere if unscrewed. |
