GET SAFETY VALVE INDUSTRY INFORMATION
The safety valve is a type of mechanical device that protects equipment against explosion or damage and is fitted in pressure vessels such as chemical power plants, gas storage tanks, and power boilers. It has been designed to open and reduce overload pressure in vessels or equipment and, after normal conditions have been restored, to close and prevent the further release of fluid.
The safety valves constitute three main parts that are nozzle, disk, and spring. The nozzle is the one that regulates the exit of pressurized gas or fluid. The disk is responsible for allowing the fluid out supported by a spring which enables its actuation in the mechanism. When the pressure inside a given vessel exceeds the threshold pressure safety valve tries to neutralize it by releasing the excess pressure in the atmosphere. Thus, creating a pop sound. Safety valves can operate at any time under any condition. The safety valve provides protection against life, machinery, property, and the environment.
The global safety valve market has grown steadily over the years, owing to its wide range of applications in several industries. Safety valves mainly act as a fail-safe. A prominent example of a safety valve is a pressure relief valve which is basically used to control the pressure within a system at the time of process upset or equipment failure. Safety valves mainly operate at a predetermined pressure for protecting equipment from unsafe pressure. Moreover, such valves release substance automatically from a pressure vessel and boiler when the temperature or pressure exceeds the preset limits. Such USPs are majorly driving the global safety valve market.
The safety valve market, by material, is segmented into stainless steel, cast iron, alloy, cryogenic, and others. The stainless steel safety valve market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Rising demand for high-quality safety valves to mitigate the threat of contamination in critical processes, such as water and steam handling, in food & beverages, and chemicals industries will drive the market for stainless steel safety valves during the forecast period.
The safety valve market for the agriculture industry is expected to witness significant growth during the overall pipeline distance is quite long, and there is a large variance in pipe elevation due to natural terrain. In agriculture, safety valves are used for irrigation and precision farming applications. Valves made up of brass, steel, and a wide array of plastics materials are widely used.
