Dear All

I know the various tests of the safety valve (by lifting the lever manually or by increasing the pressure until the popping point).

Is there an requirement to have the safety valve disassembled (e.g. every 4 years) to identify signs of corrosion, or other dirt build ups?

Many, many thanks for your support. Very appreciated

Chris
 
IMO, the inspection frequency and extent of PSV valve are depended on the O&M experience. The factors may include the new or old systems, clean process or dirty process, previous inspection history, etc.
 
See API RP 520, 521 and 576
