Pressure Safety Relief Valve Products
Within process facilities, many electronic, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems exist to control variables within a fluid system. This can include pressure, temperature, or flow. Each of these systems also requires some form of power source to operate, such as electricity or compressed air. A safety pressure relief valve needs to be operational at all times, protecting both your workers and your equipment. For safety relief valves, the power source is typically the process fluid, allowing for ongoing operation, even in the event of power failure.
When conditions cause a pressure buildup in the process, problems can arise. Without a reliable means of venting that pressure, catastrophic failure can occur. Safety pressure relief valves can be the thing standing between your equipment and an overpressure incident.
Safety relief valves are a pressure relief valve characterized by rapid opening or pop action. It is able to open in proportional response to an increase in pressure over the opening pressure. They can be used either for liquid or compressible fluid and can be found in either conventional safety relief valves or balanced safety relief valves. But no matter the needs of your process, Cross has a valve that can help.

Benefits of Safety Relief Valves
There are many benefits to utilizing safety pressure relief valves in your process facility. Some of these benefits include
System Protection
Safety relief valves regulate and control system pressure, ensuring that it remains within predefined safe operating limits. By preventing overpressure, they prevent equipment damage, system failure, or even catastrophic accidents. This protects your equipment and systems.
Personnel Safety
By releasing excess pressure, these valves prevent the buildup of dangerous conditions that could result in explosions, ruptures, or other hazardous events. By minimizing this risk, you protect your most valuable resource (your employees) and create a safer work environment.
Compliance
Safety relief valves are also necessary for maintaining compliance within industry standards or regulations. Many industries have specific guidelines for pressure management, including oil and gas, chemical processing, industrial manufacturing, and power generation.
Protecting Your Process from Overpressure
The main function of a safety relief valve is overpressure protection. They shouldn’t be used as a process valve or pressure regulator. Their job is to be the last line of defense as pressure builds within a process or system. That’s why it’s so vital they be constructed simply and consistently operational.
There are many common causes of overpressure incidents. Some of the leading causes include
- Blocked discharge
- Fire case (ie, process is exposed to an external fire source)
- Unintended/unmonitored chemical reactions
- Thermal expansion
- Problems down the line (ie, heat exchanger malfunction, tube ruptures, etc)
Nothing can protect your facility from all accidents all the time. But you can have the right equipment in place to prevent the unsafe or risky conditions that cause these accidents in the first place. And the best first step to increasing safety is the right safety equipment. Protect your process, personnel, and equipment with Cross safety relief valves.
