Since pressure relief valves are safety devices, there are many Codes and Regulations written to control their design and application. The purpose of this discussion is to familiarize you with the various paraneters involved in the design of a pressure relief valve and provide a brief introduction to sate of the Codes and Standards vhich govern the design and use of pressure relief valves.
