Issues with the operation of safety valves
Thread Content
Here, our safety valves often experience internal or external leakage. When this occurs, the valves in front of and behind them are usually closed in order to carry out repairs or tests, and some of them remain closed for a long time. I wonder if anyone has experienced this?
A safety valve is a safety accessory for pressure vessels; it is an important component that ensures the safe operation of the equipment and prevents overpressure from occurring. After a leak occurs, it is necessary to conduct timely testing and put the system back into operation; alternatively, two safety valves can be installed in one container, with the testing dates for these two valves set at different times.
Some of our safety valves have started leaking after several trips. For a system, it is possible to use fewer safety valves to ensure that pressure does not exceed safe levels. However, in principle, the safety valve must be in use.
It’s necessary; put it into use. It is crucial to know how it can act as a safety valve.

Safety valves are designed to ensure safety; they must be in use and must not be left closed for long periods, as otherwise they lose their purpose and safety cannot be guaranteed. Any internal or external leakage should be addressed promptly by carrying out repairs or inspections. Depending on the level of importance associated with safety, there can be one, two, or three safety valves, which is more than sufficient to meet the needs. If safety is not taken seriously, then accidents are bound to occur.
Is internal or external leakage due to the corrosive nature of the material? If the starting is not very frequent (if the owner keeps it turned off for a long time), it’s more practical to use a burst disc instead
We added a burst disc in front of the safety valve, which solved the problem of corrosion of the safety valve.
I really want to learn* how rupture disks can help safety valves resist corrosion
