Pressure Relief Devices

Pressure relief devices are safety components designed to prevent equipment or systems from experiencing excessive pressure that could cause damage or failure. When pressure reaches a certain limit, these devices automatically activate to release or vent the excess pressure, maintaining safe operating conditions. Common examples include relief valves and rupture disks. They are essential in industries like plumbing, manufacturing, and oil and gas to protect personnel, equipment, and the environment from accidents caused by overpressure situations. These devices are engineered to respond quickly and reliably, ensuring safety without disrupting normal system operations.
