Function:
A Safety Valve protects equipment from over-pressure. When pressure exceeds the set limit, the valve opens automatically to release excess pressure and then closes once normal pressure is restored.
Why Needed:
Prevents:
- Equipment explosion
- Pipe or vessel rupture
- Fire and safety hazards
- Damage to boilers, tanks, compressors, and pipelines
- Safety valves are mandatory in many systems to comply with API/ASME standards.
Used In:
- Oil & Gas and Petrochemical
- Boilers and Power Plants
- Chemical plants
- Air & gas compressors
- Pressure vessels, pipelines, storage tanks
- Steam systems and process industries
