Safety Relief Valves
- Thread starter BUTUAN
- Start date
If you mean as in ASME safety relief valves, no.
In a HIPPS, there are "blowdown" and "shutdown" type valves, but they are to a reliability, maintenance, instrumentation and everything else in a HIPPS, much higher requirement.
So, in general, the answer would be that blowdown and shutdown valves are not safety relief valves.
