Kelso Technologies Inc. announced that the Company has completed the design, engineering and required regulatory testing of two key pieces of truck tanker equipment created for the reliable containment and pressure management of commodities that are transported via roads.
The specialized products include a combined pressure/vacuum relief valve (PVR) and a one-bolt manway (OBM). These new products are based on existing patents that are utilized in rail tank car applications and meet all DOT 407 49 CFR 178.345 regulations. The Company believes that Kelso has reached the key milestone of approval of the PVR and OBM design with the trucking industry setting the stage for potential full market adoption.
Key advantages of the PVR include: 100% made in the United States with short delivery times for customers, robust design utilizing fabricated parts with no castings (can be re-certified for continued use), reliability of constant force springs extends life of the valve, and are available with 25psi and 30psi Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) applications.
