• Boiler safety valves may be welded to the boiler<br />

• Boiler safety valves can be tested periodically by raising the steam<br />

pressure<br />

• requires the boiler safety valves have a substantial lifting device be<br />

lifted from its seat when the working pressure on the boiler is at<br />

least 75 % of the set pressure.<br />

• A pressure-relief valve may be tested on-stream with a specialized<br />

hydraulically lift device that will determine the set pressure (not<br />
