Air receiver safety standards – The crucial role of pressure safety valves
Your compressed air receiver contains a critical safety component called a pressure safety valve (PSV). This essential valve automatically releases air from the receiver tank if internal pressure exceeds a safe limit - preventing dangerous overpressure that could cause the tank to rupture - or in extreme cases, explode. How does a pressure safety valve [...]
