Boilers, storage tanks, and water heaters require relief devices to prevent overpressure that may cause serious injuries to personnel. This book explains in simple language the codes that govern their maintenance and continued operations
Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, pressure relief devices are considered one of the most important safety components. These Devices are literally the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even lose of life. Written in plain language, this fifth book in the ASME Simplified series addresses the various codes and recommended standards of practice for the maintenance and continued operations of pressure relief valves as specified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute.
Covered in this book are: preventive maintenance procedures, methods for evaluation of mechanical components and accepted methods for cleaning, adjusting and lubricating various components to assure continued operation and speed performance as well as procedures for recording and evaluating these items.

Contraportada:

ASME and API code requirements
Design specifications and code calculations
Manufacturing and pressure relief valves
Sizing and selection of pressure relief valves and rupture disks
Installation, operation, maintenance, inspection, and testing

Bolster your last line of defense against catastrophic equipment failure or even loss of life with the ASME and API code on pressure relief devices

Written by a seasoned inspector and educator with over thirty years of experience, this valuable resource addresses that recommended standards for the safe operations and the continued maintenance of pressure relief devices as specified by both ASME and API code. This handy reference clearly details proper sizing, selection, and installation of pressure relief devices to ensure adequate protection and reduce hazards. Readers will also find expert instruction on preventative maintenance procedures, methods for evaluating mechanical components, and accepted methods for cleaning, adjusting, and lubricating various components to ensure continued operation and speed performance.
