IX. Design Features and Nomenclature
X. Introduction
Design Simplicity:
Consolidated Safety Relief
Valves embody a minimum number of component
parts, which results in a savings by minimizing spare
parts inventory and simplifying valve maintenance.

assistance.
Cap and Lever Interchangeability:
Many times it is
necessary to change the type of cap or lever in the
field after a valve has been installed. Consolidated
Safety Relief Valves are supplied so they can be
converted to any type of lever or cap desired.
Simple Blowdown Adjustment:
The Consolidated
single blowdown ring design makes it possible to
set and test a valve that has been in service when
it cannot be set on line and must be taken to the
customer’s shop. The ring can be positioned so
that the set point can be observed although the
volume of the testing media is very low. After the set
pressure has been established, proper blowdown
can be attained by merely positioning the ring to its
original position.
The safety relief valve is an automatic, pressure
actuated relieving device suitable for use either as a
safety valve or relief valve, depending on application.
Safety relief valves are used on hundreds of different
applications, including liquids and hydrocarbons
and therefore, the valve is designed to meet many
requirements. However the valve cannot be used or
steam boilers or super heaters, but may be used on
process steam.
