Pressure Relief Valve

Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Pressure Relief Valve

Pitambara Engineering is a leading manufacturer of high-quality safety and control instruments, offering a wide range of solutions that ensure the safety, reliability, and efficiency of industrial systems. One of their key products is the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV), a crucial safety device designed to protect pressurized systems from overpressure conditions. The Pressure Relief Valve automatically releases pressure when it exceeds a preset limit, preventing damage to equipment, ensuring safety, and maintaining operational integrity in industries where pressure control is critical.


What is a Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)?

A Pressure Relief Valve is a safety device that automatically opens to relieve excess pressure from a system when it exceeds the set pressure limit. The valve helps to prevent potential damage to pipelines, tanks, or vessels by releasing excess pressure before it becomes hazardous. This automatic operation ensures that the system is protected from overpressure situations, reducing the risk of catastrophic failures, explosions, or equipment damage.


Key Features of Pitambara Engineering Pressure Relief Valve

  1. Precise Pressure Regulation:
    • The valve is designed to open and close accurately at the preset pressure limit, ensuring that excess pressure is released efficiently and safely.
  2. High-Quality Construction:
    • Made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or other alloys, the PRV is designed to withstand harsh environments and maintain reliable performance.
  3. Versatility in Pressure Settings:
    • The pressure relief valve is available in a range of pressure settings to suit different applications, ensuring flexibility across various industries.
  4. Compact and Robust Design:
    • The valve is designed to be compact yet robust, making it easy to install and reliable in maintaining system safety without taking up excessive space.
  5. Fast Response Time:
    • The PRV opens quickly to release pressure as soon as it exceeds the set limit, ensuring immediate protection of the system.
  6. Low Maintenance Requirements:
    • Designed for durability, the valve requires minimal maintenance, ensuring long service life and consistent performance.

How a Pressure Relief Valve Works

The Pressure Relief Valve works by using a spring-loaded mechanism or a diaphragm to regulate the opening of the valve. When the internal pressure of the system exceeds the preset threshold, the valve opens, allowing the excess pressure to escape. This action helps to bring the pressure back to a safe level. Once the pressure drops to the set point, the valve closes automatically, ensuring that the system remains within safe operating conditions.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
  • Simple
  • Low Maintenance
  • Economical Measurement Solution
  • Easy Mounting
  • Assured Level Indication without power supply
