Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong • the disk, spring, and body area on the discharge side of the valve are fouled; • the bellows of a balanced relief valve are damaged by excessive backpressure; • the dome area and/or pilot assembly of a pilotoperated pressure-relief valve are fouled and damaged by the backflow of fluid; • exceeding the design pressure of the discharge side of spring-loaded pressure-relief valves in some of the larger sizes.
Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong When hydrostatic tests of discharge piping are performed, blinds shall be installed. Otherwise, results such as the following might occur:
