Safety Valve is a mechanical device that provides last protection of life, environment and property in this process industry by safely venting process media from an over pressurized system. The device may appear simple, but in their design, accuracy and function, they resemble a delicate instrument whilst performing an essential role.

This course is designed to provide participants an overview of the principles of safety valve fundamentals and operation and PRV sizing and terminology. Pressure vessels and other equipment require relief devices to provide overpressure protection to prevent conditions that may cause serious injuries to personnel, costly mechanical damage and environmental releases.

This course summarizes the reference data and technical recommendation in selecting of Safety valves for different applications. Information covering terminology, standards, codes, basic design, troubleshooting and installations are presented.
