PRV and PSV

A pressure relief valve is used on liquid-filled vessels and opens gradually as pressure increases, while a pressure safety valve is used on gas-filled vessels and opens suddenly at the set pressure. A rupture disk opens fully when burst pressure is reached, unlike a pressure safety valve which only opens almost fully.

Pressure Relief Device

Pressure Relief Valve Term used to describe relief device on liquid filled vessel. For such of
valve, opening is proportionally increased in vessel pressure. Hence opening valve is not
sudden, but gradually if the pressure gradually increase.

Pressure Safety Valve Term used to describe relief device on compressible fluid or gas
filled vessel. For such a valve the opening is sudden. When the set pressure of the valve is
reached, the valves open almost full.
