What is different between pressure safety valve and temperature safety valve?
Pressure safety valve-are the valve who are designed such that it can control the pressure , like in the water blowers etc,and Temperature safety valve are those who are used to regulate the temperature like, in water boilers.
Is safety valve and pressure valve mean the same?
yes
How do you test a safety valve of a Boiler?
Raise the pressure in the boiler until the valve relieves and note the pressure at which it does so.
How do set the lifting pressure of boiler safety valve?
The lifting pressure is set by turning the adjusting nut on top of the valve.
What is safety valve?
It is a device that opens on its own if a certain condition is reached. Let's say you are designing a water heater. You know if everything goes wrong the unit could reach 210 degrees F, or to have 150psi pressure inside it. You also know if either of those things happen the water heater could explode...so you put a safety valve on it that opens if either condition is reached.
What would happen if the contianer did not have pressure relese valve?
As the pressure increased, eventually the container would burst. Before such a dangerous pressure is reached, a safety valve would open and automatically release the pressure, preventing the container from bursting. An example is the safety valve fitted to the lid of a domestic pressure cooker used in the kitchen. When the safety valve opened, steam would be released and warn the cook to turn heat on the kitchen stove down to a safer level.

What is function of Throttle Valve?
it is the valve which reduce the pressure.
What will you find on a pressure cooker a safety pin b safety jacket c safety valve?
safety valve

yes
What is blow down pressure of safety valve?
the blowback or blowdown of the safety valve is at least 2 psi and for pressures over 100 psig is 2% of the popping pressure. The blowback is adjusted with the adjusting ring on the safety valve. The blowback is the pressure less than the popping pressure at which the safety valve will reset. Examples: a safety valve set to pop at 15 psig will reseat at 13 psig, the blowback is 2 psi. A safety valve set to pop at 250 psig will reseat at 245 psig the blowback is 5 psi or 2%.

Why is to safety valve mounted on boiler drum?
the safety valve is mounted on the top of drum because, if the water level in boiler decreases a certain value, the temperature gets increased in water drum because of lack of water. So, increase in temperature result in high pressure in steam drum, as the safety valve is designed to withstand a certain pressure, after a cetain pressure, the safety valve is removed by high pressure of steam. this is why the safety valve is mounted on top of boiler drum. +++ Shall we sort out that lot? That answer is wrong. Its only link with water-level is that the valve has to be above the water anyway. If the boiler runs dry the safety-valve will not protect it. The safety-valve is there to prevent the steam pressure rising to a potentially a dangerous level. It is set to open at the boiler's designed working pressure.
What is the air pressure inside the pressure cooker after the safety valve melts?
sex
What is pressure gauge and how much pressure it can reduce?
A pressure gauge simply measures and visibly indicates pressure in a system . It does not reduce the pressure. For that you need a PRV (pressure reduction valve ).
How do set the lifting pressure of boiler safety valve?
The lifting pressure is set by turning the adjusting nut on top of the valve.
