The actual position of the disc determines the discharge area of the valve.
The discharge area is not determined by the position of the disc.
A safety valve having no protrusions in the bore, and wherein the valve lifts to an extent sufficient for the minimum area at any section, at or below the seat, to become the controlling orifice.
The spring housing is vented to the discharge side, hence operational characteristics are directly affected by changes in the backpressure to the valve.
