A mounting assembly is provided for coupling a monitoring device to a valve assembly for relieving vacuum and over pressure conditions in a storage container. The valve assembly includes a body including a first port adapted to be in fluid communication with the storage container and a first valve seat disposed in the body, and a first control assembly including a first valve stem and a first closure element coupled to the first valve stem, the first closure member being movable relative to the first valve seat in response to changes in pressure in the container. The mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket adapted to be coupled to a portion of the body and a mounting tube configured to be slidably coupled to the mounting bracket. The mounting tube is adapted to receive the monitoring device, which is configured to obtain data indicative of the operation of the valve assembly.

Pressure vacuum relief valve providing monitoring capabilities

An example apparatus includes a disc-shaped valve plug having a first metallic sealing surface extending circumferentially about a peripheral edge of the valve plug. The first metallic sealing surface has a first curved profile. The example apparatus further includes a valve seat defining an orifice and having a second metallic sealing surface having a second curved profile that is complementary to the first curved profile so that the first and second metallic sealing surfaces form a metal-to-metal seal when the first and second metallic sealing surfaces are in contact.
