Principle of Operation <br /> AFL- Discharge Outlet Max. M ax. Max. <br /> The valve operates on a buoyancy principle.The ballasted float, OSV Elbovv Valve Valve Pipe Outlet Capacity Capacity <br /> which is the only moving part, is weighted for a specified gravity Model Material Size Size Size gpin 1ps <br /> of 0.95. In the water,the float will float and keep the valve <br /> open,An accumulation of oil around the float will decrease the x`�o �a4 �apVC;'� t Of mrri 4 , y �1rn 46o <br /> buoyant force on the float,causing it to float lower in the liquid.
