Safety valves for steam, gases and liquids
If a fluid system is subjected to pressure in excess of the design pressure, the following could occur:

• Mechanical damage to equipment and surroundings.
• Loss of product and production.
• Damage to the environment.
• Injury and loss of life.

Examples of circumstances which can result in overpressure on process applications include an inadvertently
closed or opened valve, component malfunction, a failure in a cooling system, an abnormal process heat input,
a power cut or a fire.

Modern organizations are compelled by local health and safety regulations to ensure that their plant and processes
incorporate safety devices and precautions which ensure that dangerous conditions are prevented.

A safety valve is required wherever a hazardous overpressure situation could occur.

Micron safety valves protect against excess pressure across a broad spectrum of industrial processes.

Systems requiring overpressure protection range in size and complexity from large scale chemical plants to
commercial service distribution systems.
