Description

Safety Valve is a critical device used to control pressure within piping systems or equipment handling fluids such as steam, gas, or liquid. It operates automatically—when system pressure exceeds a preset limit, the valve opens to release excess pressure and closes again when the pressure returns to a safe level.


Features of Safety Valve

  • Overpressure Protection
    Automatically discharges excess pressure to protect equipment and pipelines from damage

  • Automatic Operation
    Opens when pressure exceeds the limit and resets itself when pressure normalizes

  • Designed for Maximum Safety
    Made from corrosion-resistant, high-pressure materials to suit various environments

  • Industry Versatility
    Used in steam systems, boilers, oil and gas systems, and chemical processes


Types of Safety Valve

  • Spring Loaded Safety Valve
    Uses a spring mechanism to control opening and closing; ideal for stable pressure systems

  • Pilot Operated Safety Valve
    Employs a pilot valve for precise pressure control; suitable for high-pressure applications

  • Balanced Bellows Safety Valve
    Designed to handle fluctuating back pressure in complex systems

  • Dead Weight Safety Valve
    Operates with weighted levers; best for low-pressure systems like tanks and oil boilers

  • Lever Safety Valve
    Equipped with a lever for quicker pressure release; commonly used in high-pressure steam systems


Applications of Safety Valve

  • Power Plants & Energy Industry
    Prevents overpressure in boilers and steam systems

  • Petrochemical & Chemical Plants
    Controls pressure in gas and fluid systems

  • Food & Beverage Industry
    Used in sterilizers and steam systems during food processing

  • Hydraulic & Compressed Air Systems
    Protects components from overpressure damage

  • Natural Gas & Oil Industry
    Ensures safe pressure control in transport and storage systems


Advantages of Safety Valve

  • Enhances system safety and protects personnel and equipment

  • Fully automatic function reduces risk and operator intervention

  • Handles high pressures and suits various industries

  • Easy maintenance and long service life

  • Available in a range of materials for corrosion and temperature resistance
