Pressure Relief Valves

About pressure relief valves

Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are a pivotal part of pump systems and protect the equipment from the buildup of excessive pressure during operation. Pressure relief valves for water and other liquids used in pump systems are designed to open automatically to relieve the pressure when a predetermined threshold is reached. This ensures that the system operates within a safe pressure range, which helps prevent accidents, damage and equipment failures.

Failing to effectively control the pressure in a pump system can potentially lead to issues such as leaks or ruptures at the weakest points of a system. If the pump is transporting hazardous liquids, such as chemicals or very hot water, the consequences could be extremely dangerous.

Liquid and water pressure relief valves used in pump systems help to ensure this doesn’t happen, maintaining consistent pressure levels that help to keep things running as efficiently as possible. This also helps to minimise wear and tear on various parts of the system, which can extend the life of its parts and components.
