Propane tanks are required to have a safety relief valve. The relief valve is a safety device on the propane tank to vent excess pressure.
A thermal relief valve is a liquid-only relief due to expansion of a liquid with increased temperature.A safety valve relieves pressure due to a gas.It should be noted that "safety valve" is a general term which could refer to Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) or Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), terms which are used synonymously in some industries (such as the petroleum industry) to refer to all relief devices in general.
Relief valve always position in the suction line in oreder to relief the extra pressure, while safety valve is always placed at discharge line to release excess pressure.I would take that one step further by stating that a " RELIEF VALVE" is one that is "meant" to be lifted off its seat, as opposed to a "SAFETY RELIEF VALVE" which is not!DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIEF VALVE AND SAFETY VALVE:1. Releif valve is applicable in the fluid system.safety valve is applicable in the gaseous system.2.Relief valve opening is directly proportional to the pressure rise.Safety valve opening is will happen at after reaching the setpressure.3.Mode of relif vlave line is again connected to the suction.But in the safety valve is just vent-out there is no connection tosuction.

The high oil pressure relief valve is located in the oil pump
Rupture disk are perfectly available as replacement of sfaety relief valves if you will consider that they are non-reclosing. In the case of an activation the pressure relief opening will remain open afterwards, where in the cas eof safety relief valve the device is reclosing.
Make enquiry's with the manufacturer of the compressor and get the max pressure rating. Then let the pressure in the tank build up to that level. If it does not open get a new valve
Part I-Sizing and Selection Downstream Segment API STANDARD 520 EIGHTH EDITION, DECEMBER 2008 huddling chamber: An annular chamber located downstream of the seat of a pressure relief valve for the purpose of assisting the valve to achieve lift.
Keep valve protection caps in place when cylinders are not in use.
oil pressure relief valve is usually located in the oil filter housing as a failsafe for if the oil filter blocks up.
The oil relief valve is a spring,check ball,and roll pin made into the oil pump.If your relief valve is in doubt replace the whole pump (less than $20.00) It's cheap insurance.
That would depend on which part of the system the RELIEF valve is located
