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 else can I help you with?
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
Difference between Thermal relief valve and safety valve?
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.
Safety device on a water heater?

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.

Which safety valve should be set to discharge at lower pressure drum safety valve or super heater safety vlave?
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.
Is safety valve and pressure valve mean the same?
yes
What safety devices are on LPG tanks?
water. seter valve. afromination valve. blumpkin valve
What are the main functions of the steam stop valve and safety 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.

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%.
Is the valve stem loose in your car's tire causing a potential safety hazard?
A loose valve stem in your car's tire can be a safety hazard.
What is Difference between relief valve and safety valve?
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.
