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
