Relief Valve Set-pressure DriftRPN 252 · Critical
Failure Mechanism
Relief valve set-pressure drift: long-term spring stress creep/fatigue, loose setting nut, or seat fouling make actual opening pressure deviate from set point. Consequence: (1) too high -> valve fails to lift when needed, equipment overpressure (safety/integrity risk); (2) too low -> spurious lift in normal operation (production loss, media release). Progressive degradation; managed by periodic set-pressure verification (API 510 / GB-T 44692 class).
How to Detect
Online monitoring · Detection rate 80% ;Re-inspect ≤every6months
Mitigation (What to Do)
  • Annual online set-pressure verification
  • Inspect spring appearance and dimensions every half-year
  • Record actuation count after each action and analyze trend
