Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pressure Relief Device

Definition
A pressure relief device is a critical safety component installed on product collection tanks and other pressurized vessels. Its primary function is to automatically open and discharge fluid (gas or liquid) when the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined set point, thereby preventing catastrophic failure, tank rupture, or explosion. It ensures operational safety by maintaining system pressure within safe design limits.
Working Principle
The device typically contains a spring-loaded mechanism or a rupture disc calibrated to a specific pressure. Under normal operating conditions, the device remains sealed. When internal pressure rises and overcomes the spring force or disc burst rating, the valve opens or the disc ruptures, creating a flow path to vent the excess pressure to a safe location. Once pressure returns to a safe level below the reseat pressure, spring-loaded valves close automatically, while rupture discs require replacement.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Elastomer (seals)
Technical Parameters
  • Set Pressure / Burst Pressure - The specific pressure at which the device is designed to activate. (bar or psi) Customizable
Components / BOM
  • Valve Body
    Main housing that contains internal parts and provides connection points.
    Material: Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel
  • Spring
    Provides the counterforce to keep the valve closed; compression determines set pressure.
    Material: Alloy Steel
  • Disc / Poppet
    The sealing element that lifts off the seat to allow flow when pressure exceeds the set point.
    Material: Stainless Steel with elastomer seal
  • Adjustment Cap
    Allows for calibration and adjustment of the spring tension to set the relief pressure.
    Material: Steel
  • Rupture Disc (if applicable)
    A thin membrane designed to burst at a precise pressure, providing non-reclosing relief.
    Material: Graphite, Metal Alloy
Engineering Reasoning
0.5-100 bar
110 bar (10% above maximum rated pressure)
Design Rationale: Yield strength exceedance of spring material (ASTM A228 music wire, 2150 MPa yield strength) causing permanent deformation
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Corrosion-induced pitting (chloride concentration > 25 ppm)
Mode: Seat leakage at 85% of set pressure
Strategy: 316L stainless steel construction with electropolished surfaces
Trigger Creep deformation at 150°C operating temperature
Mode: Premature opening at 92% of set pressure
Strategy: Inconel 718 spring material for temperatures up to 650°C

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in your pressure relief devices?

Our pressure relief devices are constructed from durable materials including stainless steel and carbon steel for the main components, with elastomer seals for reliable pressure containment and release.

How does a pressure relief device prevent equipment failure?

The device automatically activates when system pressure exceeds safe limits, releasing excess pressure through components like the disc/poppet or rupture disc to prevent catastrophic equipment rupture or damage.

What maintenance is required for pressure relief devices?

Regular inspection of the spring, seals, and disc components is recommended. The adjustment cap allows for pressure setting verification, and the valve body should be checked for corrosion or wear.
