A pressure release valve, also known as a pressure relief valve or safety valve, is a crucial component in various industrial and mechanical systems designed to handle fluids or gases. Its primary function is to protect equipment, pipelines, and vessels from excessive pressure by releasing the excess fluid or gas when the pressure exceeds a predetermined set point. This critical safety device plays a pivotal role in preventing catastrophic failures, explosions, and damage to valuable assets.
The design and functionality of pressure release valves are based on the fundamental principle of maintaining system integrity under varying pressure conditions. These valves are meticulously engineered to automatically open and allow the release of fluid or gas when the internal pressure surpasses the specified threshold, thus preventing potential overpressurization.
