Is a safety relief valve installed on the pipeline?
Thread Content
The plunger-type metering pump is used to transport methanol, and its designed pressure is 1.6 MPa. Is it necessary to install a safety valve on the pipeline?
In such cases, pumps are usually equipped with a safety valve at their outlet, which helps to create a circulation system to prevent high pressures and thus protect the pump itself as well as the pipelines
Without additional safety measures, it’s essential to install safety valves to prevent the pipes from being damaged due to overpressure. It is recommended that the outlet of the safety valves be connected to the nearest methanol tank or intermediate tank
Could some expert please tell me about the relevant specifications?
Typically, the outlet pipe of a pump is equipped with a pressure gauge and a safety valve
Safety valves should be installed on the piping of positive displacement pumps.
