Selecting the right safety valve can make all the difference in system safety and performance. Here are the 4 common types you should know:

Spring Loaded Safety Valve

Most widely used
Ideal for boilers, pressure vessels, and pipelines

Lever (Weight Loaded) Safety Valve
Uses lever and weight for pressure control
Simple structure, high temperature resistance
Common in older boilers and large steam systems

Pilot Operated Safety Valve
Pilot valve opens first, then main valve
Suitable for high pressure and large flow
Widely used in oil and gas, chemical, and power plants

Dead Weight Safety Valve
Uses direct weight to control pressure
Simple but bulky, lower accuracy
Rarely used today, mostly in old low-pressure systems
