PRDs Protect Life, Property, & Equipment
“Pressure Relief Devices (PRD) are used to Provide a
Means of Venting Excess Pressure which could
rupture a boiler or pressure vessel. A pressure relief
device is the Last Line of Defense for Safety. If all
other safety devices or operating controls fail, the
pressure relief device must be capable of Venting
Excess Pressure.”
Pressure ReliefDevices
-National Board of Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Inspectors
(NBIC)-
Before
Relief Event
• Device is Closed
• ZeroLeakage up to 100%of set pressure
During
Relief Event
• Opens Exactly at SetPressure
• Relieves Only Enough Capacity to protect
the system, but not more
• Stable without chatter or flutter
After
Relief Event
• Recloses on its own
• Minimal time to reclose or Minimum
Blowdown
• Returnsback to ZeroLeakage

Before During After
Non-reclosing device that opens at set
pressure and is destroyed upon
actuation.
Stacked weights on a pallet open and
close proportional to inlet pressure.
A spring opposes force of inlet
pressure. As pressure approaches
and arrives at set pressure, the spring
contracts to relieve pressure.
The pilot valve loads operating pressure
into the main valve dome keeping the
main valve seat tight until set pressure is
reached. At set pressure, the dome
pressure exhausts which opens the main
valve and relieves pressure.
Typically covers applications
below 15 PSIG and into vacuum
protection for storage tanks.
Used in applications which are not
suitable for a reclosing pressure
relief device.
Versatile pressure relief valve
used in most applications
including power, O&G, and
chemical.
Applications with space/weight
restrictions, inlet line loss > 3%, or
when operating pressure exceeds
90% of set pressure.
