About Safety Relief Valves
Safety Relief ValvesThe Safety Relief Valve is a type of valve which is used to control or limit the pressure in a system or vessel which can build up by a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, or fire. The pressure is relieved by allowing the pressurized fluid to flow from an auxiliary passage out of the system. The relief valve is designed or set to open at a predetermined set pressure to protect pressure vessels and other equipment from being subjected to pressures that exceed their design limits.
Robust Construction & Standards ComplianceFabricated from high-grade cast steel, stainless steel, or brass, the valve comes with a rust-proof surface finish for extended service life. Complying with IS, DIN, and ANSI standards, each valve undergoes rigorous hydraulic and pneumatic testing, ensuring superior performance and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Advanced Safety & Seamless MaintenanceThis safety relief valve is equipped with a tightly sealed closed bonnet and offers zero-leakage Class VI performance. Its design facilitates easy access for servicing, streamlines maintenance routines, and supports long-term operational efficiency. Laser-marked identification aids in traceability and process compliance.
FAQs of Safety Relief Valves:
Q: How does the safety relief valve operate during pressure spikes?
A: The valve is spring-actuated and automatically releases excess pressure when system pressure exceeds the pre-set level, preventing potential equipment or pipeline damage. Once normal conditions are restored, it reseals for continued zero-leakage operation.
Q: What applications are these safety relief valves suitable for?
A: They are ideal for overpressure protection in a variety of systems including pipelines, process tanks, boilers, compressors, and other industrial installations handling water, thermic fluid, air, oil, gas, and steam.
Q: Where can the valves be installed for optimal safety?
A: These valves can be flanged or threaded directly onto pipelines, pressure vessels, or equipment at critical pressure points, ensuring immediate pressure relief in the event of system overpressure.
Q: What process is involved in configuring the maximum opening pressure?
A: The valves maximum opening pressure is adjustable according to your process requirements, up to 40 bar, by calibrating the high-tensile steel spring during installation or maintenance.
Q: What benefits does the rust-proof surface provide?
A: The rust-proof finish enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring the valve performs reliably even in harsh or corrosive environments, thus extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.
Q: How is valve maintenance simplified?
A: The design provides easy access to internal components, enabling quick inspection, servicing, or parts replacement without requiring complete system shutdown. Laser-engraved markings also assist in fast identification and record keeping.
