Looking for a Normally Open Solenoid valve that is compatible with water 2

[A Learning Engineer]

Hello. I am looking for a Normally Open Solenoid Valve that is compatible with water, and its operating pressure is at least 1500psi. I am using this for an automated pump system project. The pumps maximum pressure it can output is around 1500psi so I will need a solenoid valve that can withstand that pressure and also be compatible with water. It needs to be normally open because this valve will be used as a safety pressure relief valve.

I was using a directional control hydraulic valve before, but I guess it was not compatible with water because after a couple of days the valve got stuck shut. The only valves I could find online were normally closed, all the normally open ones I found were either not compatible with water or have a low operating pressure.

@IRstuff I have been looking for weeks on google and no luck. All the normally open ones are under 1000psi. Calling every person and company I can, there are normally closed versions that work at those psi's but I could not find any that are normally open above 1000psi. Thanks for the kind words you are so helpful

Yea I found that one, way too expensive for one valve. I will keep searching.

I have serious reservations concerning the wisdom of using an electric valve "as a safety pressure relief valve".
Yes, it looks fail safe on paper, but after a lifetime spent trouble shooting systems, I have seen too many times when a component failure led to a component NOT being de-energized when it was expected to.
Specifically, I have seen more than one pressure switch fail closed due to wear and mechanical failure of internal parts.
If your relief pressure must be adjusted for different test, I hope that you have a back up, mechanical PSV.
You have already discovered one failure mode.
"because after a couple of days the valve got stuck shut."
There may be other failure modes of an electrically controlled PSV system, as yet undiscovered.

Yes, there is an adjustable mechanical relief valve in the system that can be adjusted from 0 to 2000psi. So if any overpressure does happen, this valve will open directing flowing to the tank.

I found out that it was my fault, the valve was not rated to take water because it was not corrosive/rust resistant so the water made it stuck shut. Thankfully I am in the testing phase and will be for a while.
