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.
