Safety valves: important guardians of boilers and pressure vessels

Boilers and pressure vessels play a vital role in industrial production. However, when the pressure of steam or gas inside such equipment rises abnormally, it can pose a serious threat to both the equipment and the operators. To meet this challenge, we have introduced the safety valve as a critical safety component.

The safety valve, as an automatic pressure relief valve, is ingeniously designed. When the static pressure of the steam or gas-side medium at the inlet of a boiler or pressure vessel exceeds the preset set value of the seating pressure, the safety valve opens quickly and completely, thereby releasing the excess pressure. This process is automatic and requires no manual intervention, ensuring immediate response when equipment is at risk of overpressurization.

The principle of operation of a safety valve is relatively simple but very effective. Under normal conditions, the opening and closing parts of a safety valve are subjected to external forces and remain closed, ensuring that the medium does not leak. However, once the pressure of the medium in the equipment or pipeline rises above the set safety value, the safety valve will immediately activate and automatically open the valve, allowing the medium to be discharged from the system. In this way, the pressure inside the pipeline or equipment can be effectively prevented from exceeding the specified upper limit, protecting the safety of equipment and personnel.

Safety valves are indispensable automatic valves on boilers, pressure vessels and pipelines. Their main task is to ensure that the pressure in these devices remains within safe limits at all times during operation. By precisely controlling the pressure, safety valves provide a solid guarantee for the safety of equipment and operators.

Overall, safety valves are indispensable safety components in industrial production. They are like the guardians of boilers and pressure vessels, always ready to respond to possible risks of overpressurization. With the escort of safety valves, we can carry out production operations with greater peace of mind, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.
