The set point for the safety valve shall be at least 10% between the operating system pressure and the safety valve set pressure. This will prevent the safety (PI) at the maximum steam pressure, which is the safety valve setting of the steam supply source.

The balanced effect is achieved by isolating the upper valve chamber and eliminating any back pressure build-up in the bonnet affecting valve set pressure. Relieving pressure Safety For RD&PRV combination capacity testing, ASME UG‐132(a)(4)(a) says: “The marked burst pressure shall be between 90% and 100% of the marked set pressure of the valve.”

It is recommended that your maximum operating pressure be 10% below your valve's set pressure to ensure optimal seat tightness. Identifying the process media, or service, of a valve is important to set pressure. If a valve has the correct set pressure but is used on the wrong application, there's a chance the valve wouldn't open when needed.

The lower limit is based on the maximum operating pressure of the system. The relief valve setting (s) should be at least 10% or 15-psig, whichever is greater, above the maximum operating pressure. Where unstable process conditions exist, this differential should be at least 10% above the maximum operating pressure or 25-psig, whichever is greater.
