Possibly the most important single safety device on a boiler or pressure vessel, the pressure relief device (PRD) is all that stands between overpressure conditions and catastrophic explosions. This comprehensive review of the design, construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance of pressure relieving devices currently in use on boilers and pressure vessels details how to protect pressurized equipment from exceeding the maximum allowable working pressure.

The code requirements for pressure relief devices are covered by the following ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes and ASME Pressure Piping Codes:
    ASME Section I – Power Boilers
    ASME Section III – Nuclear Systems
    ASME Section IV – Heating Boilers
    ASME Section VIII – Pressure Vessels
    ASME Section XII – Transport Tanks
  ASME Section XIII – Overpressure Protection
  ASME B31.1 – Power Piping
    ASME B31.3 – Process Piping
  ASME B31.8 – Natural Gas Piping
    ASME B31.12 – Hydrogen Piping

In addition, the following American Petroleum Institute (API) standards will be discussed:

API RP 520-Parts I & II Sizing, Selection, and Installation of Pressure Relief Devices
API RP 576-Inspection of Pressure Relief Devices
