We endeavor to support the whole life cycle of a facility and continuously provide custom products and technologies. Boasting a reputation for producing high quality, durable products, our collection of Pressure Relief Valves is guaranteed to provide effective and reliable pressure relief.

While some basic components and activations in relieving pressure may differ between the specific types of relief valves, each aims to be 100% effective in keeping your equipment running safely. Our current range includes numerous valve types, from flanged to spring-loaded, threaded to wireless, pilot operated, and much more.

A pressure relief valve is a type of safety valve designed to control the pressure in a vessel. It protects the system and keeps the people operating the device safely in an overpressure event or equipment failure.

A pressure relief valve is designed to withstand a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). Once an overpressure event occurs in the system, the pressure relief valve detects pressure beyond its design"s specified capability. The pressure relief valve would then discharge the pressurized fluid or gas to flow from an auxiliary passage out of the system.

Below is an example of one of our pilot operated pressure relief valves in action; the cutaway demonstrates when high pressure is released from the system.

Air pressure relief valves can be applied to a variety of environments and equipment. Pressure relief valves are a safety valve used to keep equipment and the operators safe too. They"re instrumental in applications where proper pressure levels are vital for correct and safe operation. Such as oil and gas, power generation like central heating systems, and multi-phase applications in refining and chemical processing.

At Curtiss-Wright, we provide a range of different pressure relief valves based on two primary operations – spring-loaded and pilot operated. Spring-loaded valves can either be conventional spring-loaded or balanced spring-loaded.

Spring-loaded valves are programmed to open and close via a spring mechanism. They open when the pressure reaches an unacceptable level to release the material inside the vessel. It closes automatically when the pressure is released, and it returns to an average operating level. Spring-loaded safety valves rely on the closing force applied by a spring onto the main seating area. They can also be controlled in numerous ways, such as a remote, control panel, and computer program.

Pilot-operated relief valves operate by combining the primary relieving device (main valve) with self-actuated auxiliary pressure relief valves, also known as the pilot control. This pilot control dictates the opening and closing of the main valve and responds to system pressure. System pressure is fed from the inlet into and through the pilot control and ultimately into the main valve"s dome. In normal operating conditions, system pressure will prevent the main valve from opening.

The valves allow media to flow from an auxiliary passage and out of the system once absolute pressure is reached, whether it is a maximum or minimum level.

When the pressure is below the maximum amount, the pressure differential is slightly positive on the piston"s dome size, which keeps the main valve in the closed position. When system pressure rises and reaches the set point, the pilot will cut off flow to the dome, causing depressurization in the piston"s dome side. The pressure differential has reversed, and the piston will rise, opening the main valve, relieving pressure.

When the process pressure decreases to a specific pressure, the pilot closes, the dome is repressurized, and the main valve closes. The main difference between spring-loaded PRVs and pilot-operated is that a pilot-operated safety valve uses pressure to keep the valve closed.

Pilot-operated relief valves are controlled by hand and are typically opened often through a wheel or similar component. The user opens the valve when the gauge signifies that the system pressure is at an unsafe level; once the valve has opened and the pressure has been released, the operator can shut it by hand again.

Increasing pressure helps to maintain the pilot"s seal. Once the setpoint has been reached, the valve opens. This reduces leakage and fugitive emissions.

At set pressure the valve snaps to full lift. This can be quite violent on large pipes with significant pressure. The pressure has to drop below the set pressure in order for the piston to reseat.

The pilot is designed to open gradually, so that less of the system fluid is lost during each relief event. The piston lifts in proportion to the overpressure.

At Curtiss-Wright we also provide solutions for pressure relief valve monitoring. Historically, pressure relief valves have been difficult or impossible to monitor. Our SmartPRV features a 2600 Series pressure relief valve accessorized with a wireless position monitor that alerts plant operators during an overpressure event, including the time and duration.

There are many causes of overpressure, but the most common ones are typically blocked discharge in the system, gas blowby, and fire. Even proper inspection and maintenance will not eliminate the occurrence of leakages. An air pressure relief valve is the only way to ensure a safe environment for the device, its surroundings, and operators.

A PRV and PSV are interchangeable, but there is a difference between the two valves. A pressure release valve gradually opens when experiencing pressure, whereas a pressure safety valve opens suddenly when the pressure hits a certain level of over pressurization. Safety valves can be used manually and are typically used for a permanent shutdown. Air pressure relief valves are used for operational requirements, and they gently release the pressure before it hits the maximum high-pressure point and circulates it back into the system.

Pressure relief valves should be subject to an annual test, one per year. The operator is responsible for carrying out the test, which should be done using an air compressor. It’s imperative to ensure pressure relief valves maintain their effectiveness over time and are checked for signs of corrosion and loss of functionality. Air pressure relief valves should also be checked before their installation, after each fire event, and regularly as decided by the operators.

Direct-acting solenoid valves have a direct connection with the opening and closing armature, whereas pilot-operated valves use of the process fluid to assist in piloting the operation of the valve.

A control valve works by varying the rate of fluid passing through the valve itself. As the valve stem moves, it alters the size of the passage and increases, decreases or holds steady the flow. The opening and closing of the valve is altered whenever the controlled process parameter does not reach the set point.

Control valves are usually at floor level or easily accessible via platforms. They are also located on the same equipment or pipeline as the measurement and downstream or flow measurements.

An industrial relief valve is designed to control or limit surges of pressure in a system, most often in fluid or compressed air system valves. It does so as a form of protection for the system and defending against instrument or equipment failure. They are usually present in clean water industries.

A PRV is often referred to as a pressure relief valve, which is also known as a PSV or pressure safety valve. They are used interchangeably throughout the industry depending on company standards.

Curtiss-Wright’s selection of Pressure Relief Valves comes from its outstanding product brands Farris, and Target Rock. We endeavour to support the whole life cycle of a facility, and continuously provide custom products and technologies. Boasting a reputation for producing high quality, durable products, our collection of their pressure relief valves are guaranteed to give your equipment and machinery effective relief from pressure when needed.

A pressure relief valve, an umbrella term which includes safety valves and expansion relief valves, is designed to do exactly that: relieve pressure on a system. Pressure reducing valves use spring-loaded mechanisms to control and relieve any excess pressure, and prevent any more fluid passing through until normal pressure conditions have been restored. Depending on the model, control can be provided to both dynamic and static flow conditions.

While some basic components and activations in relieving pressure may differ between the specific types of relief valves, each aims to be 100% effective in keeping your equipment running safely. Our current range includes all forms of valve, from flanged to spring loaded, threaded to wireless, pilot operated, and much more.

A conventional valve uses a spring to keep the valve closed until the process nears the set pressure. The spring force pushes the valve’s disc against the nozzle seat keeping the valve closed. Process pressure exerts an opposing force on the disc. When the process pressure force on the disc overcomes the opposing spring force, the disc lifts and the valve begins to relieve pressure.

In contrast, a pilot operated valveuses process pressure to keep the valve closed until set pressure is reached. PORVs include a main valve that relieves the required capacity of process media and a pilot valve that controls the main valve. Until set pressure is reached, both the top and bottom of the valve’s piston are exposed to process pressure forces. The surface area on top of the piston is larger than the surface area of the bottom of the piston at the nozzle.

The force atop the piston is greater than the force on the piston at the nozzle because of the difference in area and pressure being equal. As a result, as process pressure increases, the sealing force of the piston increases as well. When set pressure is reached, the pilot valve relieves the pressurized fluid from the dome area atop the piston. This allows the process pressure at the nozzle to force the piston upward from its seat, allowing the valve to relieve system pressure.

Conventional relief valves can be the best fit for applications that will expose the valve to high temperatures, highly viscous, or dirty services. In smaller sizes they are generally lower cost than PORVs, and most designs will follow standard API 526 center-to-face flange dimensions.

Conventional PRVs may not be well suited for applications requiring maximum seat tightness / sealing, minimal simmer, or applications with high or variable back pressures. Measures can be taken to mitigate these shortcomings; however they bring limitations of their own.

For example, a conventional valve can be constructed with a soft seat to improve sealing, but this will generally introduce temperature limitations. To reduce the effects of back pressure a conventional PRV can be outfitted with a bellows. However, a bellows has lower back pressure tolerance than a PORV and can be more costly to maintain.

The PORV is designed to mitigate many shortcomings of a conventional valve but has its own limitations. PORVs are well suited to many applications, including:

However, PORVs’ suitability is limited in high temperature applications, as their construction typically includes several soft seals. Due to the small flow paths in the pilot valve and tubing, PORVs may not be a good fit for highly viscous process medias or those containing high levels of particulate. In smaller sizes, PORVs are typically higher cost than conventional valves but can offer significant cost savings in larger sizes.

There are several configurations available for both conventional and pilot operated pressure relief valves. Each application should be considered carefully when selecting and specifying a pressure relief valve. AWC’s team of trusted resources is here to assist with application review, selection, sizing, training, maintenance, and asset life cycle management. Our goal is to help ensure a safe, successful installation over the lifetime of the valve.
