Reseal Pressure The reseal point is the point at which the valve seals absolutely tight so that there is no leakage detectable by normal means of measurement. The point at which the valve closes, cutting off virtually all flow, is called the reseat point. The reseat point is substantially above the reseal. | Crack Pressure | Reseal Pressures | Elastomeric seals | C.P. > 100 psi | 90% of C.P. | | C.P. <100 psi | 70% to 89% of C.P. | Teflon® seals | C.P. > 450 psi | 90% of C.P. | | C.P. < 450 psi | 52% to 90% of C.P. | | | | Leakage at reseal pressure | | | | | | Elastomeric seals | Ascending pressure = zero up to 95% of cracking pressure | | Descending pressure = zero at reseal and below | Teflon® seals | Ascending pressure = zero up to reseal pressure, then 10cc/min between reseal and cracking pressure | | Descending pressure = zero at reseal, except with cracking pressure below 451 psi, then 1cc/min maximum | | | | First crack pressure after standing unactuated for a prolonged period | | | | | Set pressure of? | 5-19 psi | 125% of cracking pressure | | 20-29 psi | 120% of cracking pressure | | 30-49 psi | 115% of cracking pressure | | 50 psi and higher | 110% of cracking pressure |
