The process industry represents a huge part of many gross national products in the world. It includes the oil and gas, petrochemical, power, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, food and many other industries that produce goods which enhance the quality of life. The primary purpose of a safety relief valve (SRV) is the last protection of life, environment and property in this process industry by safely venting process fluid from an over pressurized vessel. It is not the purpose of a safety valve to control or regulate the pressure in the vessel or system that the valve protects, and it does not take the place of a control or regulating valve.
