Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R

Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R is a manually adjustable relief-valve series for pipeline over-pressure protection. A lockable external cap changes spring compression and therefore the pressure at which the valve starts to open. The compact mechanical design is suited to applications that need a manual set point rather than automated pressure control. Request a quote for Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R from AxFlow.

Product description

Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R is used as a manually adjustable over-pressure device for pipeline protection. Process pressure acts against the valve-stem plug while a spring holds the valve closed; when the force overcomes the selected spring setting, the valve opens to relieve pressure.

The relief set point is adjusted by changing spring compression with an external lockable cap. The manufacturer instructs users to select a spring range that achieves the required setting without compressing the spring to stack height. For cleaning, the spring load is backed off by turning the cap to unload the valve.

Verified manufacturer data states 316L sanitary construction with No. 4 internal polish, PTFE O-ring or metal seat options and spring ratings of 50 lb (23 kg), 100 lb (45 kg) or 300 lb (136 kg). Available connection sizes are 1.5 or 2 inches, with S-Line, Q-Line, bevel-seat or weld connection options.

Correct spring selection is important because the available setting range depends on spring compression and valve configuration. The simple mechanical concept can reduce control-system complexity, but the relief setting and cleaning procedure must be matched to the actual line limits. AxFlow can support selection, spare-parts planning, service and quotation.


Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R is intended for the specified process duty. It is based on Waukesha Cherry-Burrell process equipment series technology and should be matched to the actual process duty. AxFlow can support selection and availability checks for the required application.
Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R should be selected by checking the duty point, media behaviour, temperature, cleaning method, connections and any series-specific operating limits. Verified manufacturer data states 316L sanitary construction with No. AxFlow can help compare the verified data with the required installation conditions.
Manually adjustable lockable cap allows the spring opening pressure to be set and secured. Spring-loaded valve principle provides mechanical over-pressure relief without an external control signal. The final configuration should still be checked against the real process conditions.
For Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R, integration should be checked against the existing piping or equipment layout, connections, process conditions and cleaning or control requirements. The verified process equipment operating envelope should be compared with the actual duty before replacement or upgrade. AxFlow can support the practical review of configuration and installation requirements.
Yes, AxFlow can support identification of the correct Waukesha Cherry-Burrell 60R configuration and discuss service or spare-parts requirements. Maintenance planning should reflect the process criticality, wear parts, seals or service items relevant to this series. Contact AxFlow for availability, product selection and a quote.
