SynopsisThis indispensable book systematically guides you through Pressure Relief Valves and how they work. It shows how protective devices perform an important function in preventing the accumulation of overpressure that can result in failure and the uncontrolled release of stored energy., This indispensable book systematically guides you through Pressure Relief Valves and how they work. It shows how protective devices perform an important function in preventing the accumulation of overpressure that can result in failure and the uncontrolled release of stored energy. They are therefore categorised as safety critical items of engineering equipment. The book goes on to show that their design and testing is heavily controlled by published technical standards because many countries are covered by statutory legislation. The content of the book shows that service damage and degradation mechanisms are outlined for various applications - PRVs and bursting discs are used in a wide variety of process conditions, ranging from clean service to heavily corrosive process fluids. This results in a correspondingly large number of damage mechanisms that can prevent them from working if they are not inspected and tested correctly. Risk based inspection procedures are introduced in this book as a method of minimising the chances of failure, and therefore maintaining high levels of safety. This Quick Guide to Pressure Relief Valves is intended to provide easily accessible technical information for engineers and technicians involved in the operation, testing and maintenance of pressure systems. It also covers other types of protective devises such as bursting discs., Categorized as safety critical, protective devices perform an important function in preventing the accumulation of overpressure. This easy-to-use pocket book is an indispensable users guide that provides readily accessible technical information for engineers and technicians involved in the operation, testing, and maintenance of pressure systems. Pressure Relief Valves provides an essential guide to the published technical standards. Handy pocket-sized reference Accessible, well-structured information Direct and straightforward appproach Suitable for all - from plant operators with limited knowledge of the regulations, to specialist readers who require more advanced implementation advice.
