Questions and Answers

According to ASME BPVC Section I, what is the main heading for PG-67 to PG-73?

  • Safety Relief Valves
  • Pressure Relief Valves
  • Code Calculations
  • Overpressure Protection Requirements (correct)

What is the term used in ASME BPVC Section I to replace the three separate terms before 2007?

  • Relief Valve
  • Safety Relief Valve
  • Safety Valve
  • Pressure Relief Valve (correct)

What is the definition of a safety valve according to the text?

  • An automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and used primarily for liquid service.
  • An automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and characterized by full-opening pop action. (correct)
  • An automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve, which opens further with the increase in pressure over the opening pressure.
  • An automatic pressure-actuated relieving device suitable for use either as a safety valve or relief valve, depending on application.
