Surge relief systems are required in many applications, including pipelines, pump station systems, sewage treatment, storage terminals, and marine loading and unloading, in order to safeguard persons and equipment. A fast shift in fluid velocity can cause surge pressures, which can harm persons, equipment, pipes, and other pipeline components if they are not relieved. These entirely mechanical devices are made to function in the event of an overpressure scenario. As a result, they protect the plant and aid in ensuring output, but they also serve to secure the plant's most precious resource—its workers. This extensive five-day course is ideal for meeting the multicraft training requirements of manufacturing and process facilities as well as the training demands of maintenance staff. Participants in this course will also receive training.

Course Objectives:

A surge reliever relief valve is provided in which a flexible membrane is maintained in a peripherally sealed relationship across a rigid grid. The grid bounds the laterally adjacent intake and output regions of the valve. Intake pressure extends the membrane allowing flow between intake and output. The extension of the membrane is limited by a retainer. An extension may be elastic or inelastic.

Who Should Attend?

Inspection engineers/surveyors who specify, witness and assess the results of surge Relief Valve inspections and tests. Mechanical technicians who may be involved in the maintenance and inspection of surge Relief Valve Graduates and technical staff requiring practical engineering training.
