pressure relief

Pressure relief refers to the process of reducing or releasing excess pressure within a system to prevent damage or failure. This is typically achieved through specialized devices called pressure relief valves, which automatically open when pressure exceeds safe limits, allowing excess fluid or gas to escape safely. It ensures that equipment, containers, or pipelines operate within their designed pressure ranges, maintaining safety and efficiency. By controlling pressure build-up, pressure relief helps prevent accidents, equipment damage, and ensures reliable operation across various industrial, medical, and household systems.
