Info

Caution 1—When unusual corrosion, deposits, or conditions are noted in the pressure-relief valve, an inspector representing the user should assist in the inspection. Caution 2—If the pressure-relief valve is from equipment handling hazardous materials, caution should be exercised during the inspection. Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong
6.2.11 Dismantling of Valve. Dismantling is not necessary when; 1. Valve has been tested at the appropriate interval ( <strong>API</strong> 510 the guidance in 6.2.9) for determining the “as received” 2. the results of the “as received” test show that the valve tests properly Unless restoration of the valve to the “as new” condition is required. Pressure relief devices Five years for typical process services; and Ten years for clean (non-fouling) and noncorrosive services. Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong
