Why do you need a safety valve?
If a steam system is subjected to excess pressure, it may result in damage to equipment, and process interruption.This may lead to product spoilage, and, if an environment becomes hazardous it might cause injury to employees.This type of overpressure may occur due to equipment malfunction – a failure in a cooling system for example, or, if there isa power cut or a fire. There are many situations that may lead to excess pressure but with a safety valve in place, the pressureis released securely
