What is a Pressure Relief Valve?
A relief valve or pressure relief valve is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

How do you calculate the size of a pressure relief valve?
The Relief Pressure is generally determined by the equipment being protected and is calculated as Relief Pressure = Set Pressure + overpressure. By default, ProMax uses the stream pressure as the Set Pressure, and a 10% Over Pressure, but these can be modified for your analysis.
What is the maximum pressure of relief valve?
It is recommended to have a relief valve pressure setting at least 25% higher than the maximum system operating pressure.
The PRV set pressure should not be higher than the design pressure (MWP) of the vessel. A conventional PRV is designed to open at a predetermined pressure – the set pressure.
