Remember, your company may treat P&ID as proprietary: Posting them on the net might get you fired.

Did you ask your boss or co-worker?
 
PSV = pressure safety valve, or pressure relief valve (PRV), or thermal relief valve. Are you sure it is on the nitrogen piping, and not on the cooling water piping, of a plan 53 reservoir for example?
 
I beleave its a pressure relief valve because its part of LP Flare line(Inlet) and Outlet is Nitrogen line.
 
Sorry my earlier post was in reverse flow direction
