What is a safety valve?

A safety valve is a critical safety device that automatically activates when the pressure within a system exceeds a predetermined safety limit. It releases excess pressure to prevent damage to equipment and piping, ensuring the safety of the system and preventing accidents or failures. Safety valves are commonly used in pressure vessels, boilers, piping systems, and chemical plants. When activated, the safety valve helps maintain the pressure within a safe range, preventing excessive load and potential damage.

Application of safety valve

✅ Boilers
In boilers, when the steam pressure exceeds the limit, the safety valve activates to release the excess pressure.
✅ Chemical plants
Safety valves are installed in chemical plant tanks to prevent overpressure and control the pressure within safe limits.
✅ Pressure vessels
In pressure vessels, safety valves release pressure when the vessel exceeds its design limit to prevent rupture.
