What Does PRV Stand For?
PRV stands for Pressure Relief Valve
A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is a safety device designed to control or limit the pressure within a system by releasing excess pressure that exceeds a predetermined set point. It is essential in various applications, including industrial processes and plumbing systems, to prevent equipment damage, ensure operational safety, and maintain system integrity. The valve automatically opens when the pressure rises above a specific threshold and closes once the pressure has normalized, thereby protecting against overpressure conditions.
