One or more safety valves on a ASME BPV Code Section I steam boiler must have a set pressure at or below the MAWP of the boiler. If more than one valve is used, the highest set pressure cannot exceed MAWP by more than 3%. Additionally, the complete range of safety valve settings cannot exceed 10% of the highest set pressure.

Evaporators operating between atmospheric pressure and 15 p.s.i.g., may use a rupture disc as an alternative to the safety valve. (b) Safety valves for use on pressure vessels in which steam or pressure is generated shall comply with the requirements of § 54.15-10. Rupture discs used in lieu of these safety valves, as provided for in paragraph

Jun 04, 2019 · Safety valve is used to guard the boiler against the excessive high pressure of steam inside the drum. If the pressure of steam in the boiler drum exceeds the working pressure then the safety valve allows blow-off the excess quantity of steam to atmosphere. Thus the pressure of steam in the drum falls. The escape of steam makes a audio noise to

Safety valves – The safety valve is the most important valve on the boiler. Safety valves prevent dangerous over pressurization of the boiler. Safety valves are installed in case there is failure of pressure controls or other devices designed to control the firing rate. All safety valves should be kept free of debris by testing the safety valve regularly.

is the amount of steam, in pounds per hour (lb/hr), that the safety valve is capable of venting at the rated pressure of the safety valve. The safety valve capacity is listed on the data plate attached to the safety valve. For example, if the safety valve capacity is listed as 6900 lb on the data plate, the safety valve can discharge steam at 6900 lb/hr. The safety valve capacity must equal or exceed the boiler pounds per …

The safety valve can be fitted within the pressure reducing station itself, that is, before the downstream stop valve, as in Figure 9.3.3 (a), or further downstream, nearer the apparatus as in Figure 9.3.3 (b). Fitting the safety valve before the downstream stop valve has the following advantages

A safety valve set just above the normal working pressure can lead to a poor shut-off after any discharge. When the system operating pressure and safety valve set pressure have to be as close as possible to one another, a 0.1 bar minimum margin between reseat pressure and normal operating pressure is recommended to ensure a tight shut-off.
