A safety valve is an automatic industrial valve that plays a vital role in boilers, pressure vessels and other pressurized equipment. When the pressure inside the equipment exceeds a predetermined safety value, the safety valve will automatically release the pressure to prevent equipment damage or accidents. The design, manufacture, installation, use and inspection of safety valves should comply with the requirements of the relevant regulations for special equipment, as its operational reliability and performance are directly related to the safety of equipment and people, and are closely related to energy saving and environmental protection.
The main function of the safety valve is to provide overpressure protection when the system pressure exceeds the safety threshold to prevent equipment failure or explosion. It releases the excess pressure by opening automatically to protect the equipment and the operator. The working principle of the safety valve is based on the principle of pressure balance. When the pressure inside the system exceeds the set safety pressure, the safety valve will automatically open to release part of the fluid in order to reduce the pressure of the system so as to achieve the goal of protection and safety.
Safety valves are widely used in many industries such as petrochemical, electric power, food processing, pharmaceutical, mining and water treatment. They can be used to control the pressure of equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, steam systems and compressors. Meanwhile, WKT Valves offers custom processing of various types of safety valves, so no matter what scenario you need to use them for, contact us for an estimate.
As a high-precision industrial valve, safety valves are critical to ensuring the safe operation of industrial equipment. They prevent equipment damage and injury due to excessive pressure, while also helping to maintain productivity and reduce unplanned downtime.
When manufacturing safety valves, it is important to ensure that all design and manufacturing processes comply with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements. Material selection, casting, machining and quality inspection are critical steps, each of which needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the production of reliable and durable safety valves.
The spring of a safety valve is its core component and needs to meet certain requirements and undergo a rigorous testing process. As a professional safety valve factory, WKT Valves team can give you professional and suitable advice throughout the process.
