Certified Pressure Relief Valves Inspector

Program Overview

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, safety relief valves are of most essential importance. Pressure relief valves are the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even loss of life. The course covers safety valve types, codes & standards and designs, materials, specification and selection, sizing, installation & testing, preventive maintenance procedures, operation and troubleshooting. 

A number of different instructional methods are used throughout the course to allow interactive learning and to give practical examples from manufacturing and service industry to enable the delegates to operate select, size, install, test and troubleshoot safety valves upon course completion.

Safety Relief Valve Sizing Software “ Valvestar “ from LESER Germany will be demonstrated for sizing & selection of relief valves.
