    The document describes testing of a hydraulic pressure relief valve. It provides background on pressure relief valves and their purpose of preventing system damage from high pressure. It then details the original college setup for testing valves, which lacked the ability to measure outlet pressure. A modified setup is then presented that allows inlet and outlet pressure measurement for evaluating relief valve performance.

    The document discusses pressure relief valves, their purpose of protecting systems from overpressure, and their basic spring-loaded design.

    A pressure relief valve is a safety device designed to protect a pressurized vessel or system during an overpressure event.

    The relief valve usually has a spring holding its valve seated against the system pressure and spring compression can be adjusted to lift when an unsafe pressure is approached, providing a bypass path back to the pump suction reservoir.

    INTRODUCTION
    A pressure relief valve is a safety device designed to
    protect a pressurized vessel or system during an
    overpressure event.

    Symbol of pressure relief valve

    The

    pumps can produce very high pressure using motor

    driven piston which may be high enough to burst system


    pipes and vessels.
    To

    prevent system damage relief valve is used. Relief valve

    are often provided in hydraulic systems that use positive


    displacement pumps.

    WORKING

    The relief valve usually has a spring holding its valve seated
    against the system pressure and spring compression can be
    adjusted (for example on a test stand) to lift when an unsafe
    pressure is approached.

    The relief valve will provide a bypass path back to the pump
    suction reservoir that can handle enough of the pump capacity
    to avoid damaging high pressure.

    Spring Loaded Design

    The basic spring loaded pressure relief valve has been developed to meet
    the need for a simple, reliable, system actuated device to provide
    overpressure protection.

    The valve consists of a valve inlet or nozzle mounted on the pressurized


    system, a disc held against the nozzle to prevent flow under normal system
    operating conditions, a spring to hold the disclosed, and a body/bonnet to
    contain the operating elements.

    The spring load is adjustable to vary the pressure at which the valve will
    open.

    Drawbacks of college
    setup

    There is no return line from the relief valve to the tank.


    It measures only the inlet pressure , outlet pressure cannot be
    measured because there is no arrangement to measure the
    outlet pressure of relief valve.
    Hence it cannot be used for academic purpose to carry out
    testing of pressure relief valve.

    MODIFIED SETUP OF TESTING OF


    PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

    WORKING

    In the modified setup connection is provided from the outlet of


    relief valve to the tank.
    Hence overall the relief valve has 3 ports one from inlet,
    second to the tank and third to the system.
    In this system the inlet and the outlet pressures can be
    measured because additional pressure gauge is added after the
    relief valve.
    Maximum pressure sustained by the system can be calculated
    by the modified setup.
    Hence the setup can be used for academic purpose to carryout
    the testing of pressure relief valve.
