IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
It is important to always remember that a pressure relief valve is a safety device employed to protect pressure vessels or systems from catastrophic failure. With this in mind, the application of pressure relief valves should be assigned only to fully trained personnel and be in strict compliance with rules provided by the governing Codes and Standards
Pressure relief valves must be sized, selected and installed by those who have complete knowledge of:
The pressure relieving requirements of the system to be protected
The environmental conditions particular to that installation
Pressure relief valves sizing and selection is the responsibility of:
The process engineer
The user of the system to be protected
Sizing and selection of pressure relief valves should not be based on arbitrarily assumed conditions or incomplete information. Merely having a mandatory safety valve installation does not make a system safe
