Pressure relief valves (PRVs) protect systems from excessive pressure by releasing fluid when pressure exceeds a set limit. The valve opens automatically to reduce the pressure to a safe level and closes once normal pressure is restored.

Pressure relief valves are commonly used in steam boilers, water pipelines, and chemical plants, where controlling pressure is crucial. PRVs help prevent damage to equipment, pipes, and other components, ensuring systems run safely. They can be set to specific pressure limits and come in various designs, such as spring-loaded and pilot-operated types.

By regulating pressure, PRVs reduce the risk of accidents and help extend the lifespan of equipment. These valves are essential for maintaining safety and preventing damage in industrial applications.
