Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong 6.2.18 Inspection, Testing, Maintenance, and Setting of ASME BPVC Section VIII Pressure-relief Valves on Equipment
when a valve operates in nonfouling service, experience may indicate that inspection of the valve while on the equipment is safe and suitable. • Bonnet removed, visual inspection and minor repairs. • Testing for set pressure with inert gas testing medium through a bleeder. • If insufficient volume to attain about half lift, It yields inaccurate test results for metal-seated pressure-relief valves and the use of a restricted lift device is recommended to avoid damaging the valve by too rapid of a closure. • A pressure-relief valve may be tested on-stream with a specialized hydraulically lift device that will determine the set pressure (not blowdown).
