A safety valve in any reservoir or tank is used to prevent the tank from exploding from over-pressurization. Tanks filled with gas may become overpressurized when heated. Also during instances of filling the tank, the operator may be distracted and cause the tank to be over-filled. This safety valve will blow and thus preventing an explosion of the tank.
Raise the pressure in the boiler until the valve relieves and note the pressure at which it does so.
The function of back pressure valve is to prevent back flow to the pump in case there is an obstruction on downstream side of valve.
The lifting pressure is set by turning the adjusting nut on top of the valve.
There is no range on a safety valve. It lifts and relieves at whatever it`s setpoint is. As for the setpoint, it would be just above the maximum working pressure/temperature of the water side of the boiler as stated on the National Board Tag of the vessel.

Raise the pressure in the boiler until the valve relieves and note the pressure at which it does so.
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.
I believe that is 15 PSI on a low pressure steam boiler
The function of back pressure valve is to prevent back flow to the pump in case there is an obstruction on downstream side of valve.
The lifting pressure is set by turning the adjusting nut on top of the valve.
The function of steam stop valve to supply steam to steam maniform and the function safety valve to prevent the steam high pressure over.
Boiler mountings are different fittings and devices which are necessary for the operation and safety of a boiler .e.g. pressure gauge, safety valves , steam stop valve etc Normally these device are mounted over boiler shell .Boiler Accessories are auxilary plants or parts required for steam boilers for their proper operation and to increase efficiency of the boiler .e.g.feed pumps, super heater , economiser etc
The Superheater safety valve must be the lowest set safety valve on any boiler, in order that flow through the superheater is maintained.If the drum valve were set lower the flow through the superheater would be disrupted on an overpressure.
Your boiler pressure relief valve may be dripping due to high pressure in the system, a faulty valve, or a buildup of sediment or debris. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the valve to prevent any potential safety hazards.
