What is the difference between a relief valve and safety valve?
Can you tell me about the difference between a relief valve and a safety valve?
Certainly. Both relief valves and safety valves are designed to release pressure in a vessel or system to prevent it from reaching dangerous levels. However, the main difference is that a relief valve is typically used for liquid service, while a safety valve is used for gas or vapor service. Additionally, safety valves are typically designed to open quickly and fully, while relief valves may have a gradual opening process. Would you like me to explain further?
