What is a safety valve? The safety valve used in pressure equipment, container or pipeline, as the overpressure protection device. When the equipment, container or piping within the pressure exceeds the allowable value, the valve automatically opens, then the whole amount of emissions, to prevent the equipment, container or piping within the pressure continues to rise; when the pressure is reduced to the specified value, the valve should be closed automatically in a timely manner, so as to protect the safe operation of equipment, container or piping.

accordance with the drive mode will be divided into direct acting valve and pilot. Safety valve opening height in the entire range or in the open within the opening height ratio is quite large, also may open only a tiny proportion of the height range open, then suddenly open to the fully open position. Therefore, can be divided into the proportional valve and the full opening. To determine the structure, application and public safety valve should be subject to regulations, or should be a statutory authority to agree. Between different specifications, terms of its constraints and the definition may be different. In the application of safety valve, must follow the applicable specifications. The safety valve is an automatic valve, in the structure and performance parameters and the valves have many differences. Some special terminology easy to confuse, in order to enable users to more clearly understand the safety valve, and correctly use the following terminology to explain some of the main.
Safety valve nominal terms:
(1) Safety valve: an automatic valve. It does not use any external force, but the use of medium fertility to a nominal amount of fluid discharged to prevent the system pressure exceeds a predetermined safety value; when the pressure returned to normal, the valve closed again, and prevent the media continue to run.
(2) Direct loading type safety valve. A mechanical load by the direct effect of the safety valve, such as hammer, lever and weight or spring to overcome the medium pressure valve produced by force.

(11) Over pressure. Discharge pressure and opening pressure difference, usually expressed as a percentage of opening pressure.
(12) The back seat pressure. After the discharge valve with the valve seat again, that turned into a zero height of inlet pressure.
(13) The opening and closing pressure. The opening pressure and back seat pressure difference, the percentage usually back seat pressure and opening pressure, only when used on low pressure the pressure difference said.
(14) The back pressure. Safety valve outlet pressure.
(15) Rated discharge pressure. Standard discharge pressure limit.
(16) Seal test pressure. To seal the inlet pressure test, measured by the pressure off parts of the sealing surface of the leakage rate.
(17) Leave the valve closed position of the actual lift.
(18) The flow area. The valve inlet to the minimum cross-sectional area close to the sealing surface between the channel, without any resistance displacement theory is used to calculate the influence of.
(19) The channel diameter. For the diameter of flow area.
(20) Curtain area. When the valve flap in the seat above, in the sealing surface formed between the cylindrical or cone-shaped channel surface area.
(21) Emission area. The minimum cross-sectional area of the valve when the fluid discharge channel. The Enlightenment of the safety valve, the discharge area equal to the flow area; the micro open type safety valve, the discharge area equal to the area of the curtain.

(22) The theory of displacement. Is to calculate the displacement of the flow cross-sectional area and valve flow area equal to the ideal nozzle.
(23) Displacement coefficient. The ratio of the actual displacement and theoretical displacement.
(24) The discharge coefficient and reduction coefficient (0.9) of the product.
(25) Rated capacity. Refers to the actual displacement is allowed as part of the safety valve for reference.
(26) The applicable conditions of pressure, temperature, dielectric properties and other conditions of displacement and rated the same, the calculation of valve displacement.
(27) Safety valve abnormalities rapidly back and forth movement, the movement of the valve seat contact.
(28) Safety valve abnormalities rapidly back and forth movement, the movement does not touch the valve seat.

Description
Direct acting
Directly relying on the force generated by the medium pressure to overcome the mechanical load acting on the valve flap to open the valve.
Pilot
According to the principle of action Indirect action
It consists of a main valve and a pilot valve. The main valve is driven or controlled by the medium discharged from the pilot valve
An additional force to enhance the seal is With maintained until the inlet pressure reaches supplementary the opening pressure. This additional force load should be reliably released when the valve reaches the opening pressure
Proportional action
The opening height changes gradually as the pressure increases
The opening process is divided into two According to the stages: at first the valve flap opens action proportionally with the increase of pressure. Both ends acting (bounce characteristics After the pressure rises to a small value, the action) valve flap is rapidly opened to the specified height when the pressure is almost no longer increased.

The selection of the safety valve is closely related to the system being protected. The selected safety valve should be able to discharge the overpressure medium in the protected system within the specified time to ensure that the pressure in the system is lower than the design pressure of the system. Therefore, the reliability of the safety valve is directly related to the safe and economic operation and personal safety of the protected system. First, the principle of safety valve setting. The basic principle of the safety valve setting is for clean, particle-free, low viscosity fluids. When a safety valve must be provided where there are particles, it should be considered to add a filter before the safety valve, provided that the performance of the safety valve is not affected. Second, the pressure system of one of the following conditions must be installed with a safety valve. 1. The pressure material of the container is from the occasion without safety valve. 2. Containers and pipes designed to have a pressure less than the pressure source 3. The outlet pipe of the volume pump and compressor 4. If there is a shut-off valve and a control valve on the outlet pipe of the heating furnace, a safety valve should be installed at the front end. 5. The part of the liquid that is thermally expanded due to the closing of the valve at both ends 6. Other overpressure parts Third, the following occasions are not suitable for configuring safety valves 1. System pressure may rise rapidly, such as chemical explosions. 2. The diarrhea medium contains particles, easy to precipitate, easy to crystallize, easy to polymerize and medium viscosity 3. The diarrhea medium is highly corrosive, and the price is too high when using a safety valve 4. The working pressure is very low or very high, at this time the safety valve is more difficult to manufacture www.steeljrv.com

5. Need a larger area of diarrhea 6. The system temperature is low and affects the safety valve operating performance Fourth, the safety valve and rupture disc should be used in combination in the following cases. 1. The medium is very expensive or highly toxic, and there is no leakage in the middle of the work process. 2. Increase the discharge area under abnormal conditions (such as fire)
