Pressure Relief Valves vs. Safety Relief Valves

Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) and Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) are critical for overpressure protection. PRVs are designed for liquid service, opening gradually, while SRVs are for gas or vapor systems, providing rapid, full-capacity relief. Understanding these distinct functions is essential for selecting the correct valve to ensure system safety and compliance.
