    This document discusses various aspects of pressure relief devices (PRDs) and valves such as: 1. PRDs should prevent pressure from rising more than 10% or 3psi over the inlet static pressure. 2. Safety relief valves open rapidly or proportionally to pressure increases over the opening pressure, while safety valves are fully exposed. 3. Relief valves typically reach full lift at 10% or 25% overpressure, while safety relief valves open fully at 10% overpressure.
