Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure Relief Valves

Pressure Relief Valves are spring-loaded Valves designed to open and relieve excess pressure, then immediately close, preventing any loss of gas or liquid flow after normal conditions have been restored. Pressure relief valves are designed as, and made to act as a safety measure in your pressurized gas or liquid system.It is a valve in a pressure container, as in a steam boiler, that automatically opens when pressure reaches a dangerous level.


Pressure relief valve is a direct acting, self reseating valve designed for over pressure protection, pumps, pressure vessels and pressure pumping applications. The valve is not considered a full flow relief valve; therefore, its main function is a tattletale which indicates the set pressure has been reached. To keep the pressure from continuing to increase, other measures must be taken.Pressure relief valves are designed to protect chemical feed systems from over pressure damage caused by defective equipment or a blockage in the chemical feed line.Robust construction ensures reliability in the rigorous service of municipal and industrial applications.
