Safety valve manufacturers in USA
SVR Global designs, manufactures, and tests safety valves for boilers, pressure vessels, and process systems that require overpressure protection. Our facilities operate in United States, and our valves are engineered, assembled, and tested to meet ASME and National Board requirements, giving customers documented traceability from design through final certification.
What Is a Safety Valve?
Safety valves are devices which automatically vent fluid from a system whenever there is excessive pressure in the system to prevent any possible failure due to overpressure in the boiler, pressure vessel, or pipe lines. The safety valve will close after the pressure in the system becomes safe again.
Types of Safety Valves We Manufacture:
Safety Valve Design and Components:
1)Nozzle and Disc
The nozzle forms the flow path through the valve body, and the disc seats against the nozzle to seal the valve closed until lifted by system pressure.
2)Spring and Spindle
The spring provides the force holding the disc closed, while the spindle transmits that force and guides disc movement during lift and reseating.
3)Bellows (Balanced Designs)
Isolates the spring chamber from backpressure and process fluid, protecting the spring from corrosion and maintaining consistent set pressure regardless of downstream conditions.
4)Lifting Lever and Cap Options
A lifting lever allows manual testing of valve operation, while cap options (screwed or bolted) control access to the spring adjustment mechanism for tamper resistance or field adjustment.
5)Set Pressure, Blowdown, and Accumulation Explained
Set pressure - the pressure at which the valve begins to open
Blowdown - the difference between set pressure and the pressure at which the valve recloses
Accumulation - the pressure increase above set pressure that occurs while the valve is relieving, expressed as a percentage of set pressure per the applicable code
Applications by System Type:
1)Boiler and Steam System Safety Valve
Protect boiler drums, superheaters, and steam lines from overpressure, typically built to ASME Section I requirements.
2)Pressure Vessel Safety Valve
Protect process vessels, storage tanks, and reactors from exceeding design pressure, typically built to ASME Section VIII requirements.
3)Compressed Air and Gas System Relief Valve
Protect compressors, receivers, and pneumatic distribution systems from pressure buildup caused by control malfunctions or downstream blockages.
4)Cryogenic and LNG Service Valve
Protect storage and transfer systems for liquefied gases, where material selection must account for extreme low-temperature embrittlement.
5)Hydraulic and Thermal Expansion Relief
Protect hydraulic systems and liquid-filled piping segments from pressure spikes caused by thermal expansion or system malfunction.

Our Engineering and Testing Capabilities:
Safety valves are life safety equipment, and the manufacturer's testing and certification record matters as much as the design itself. At SVR Global, engineering, assembly, and testing take place under a documented quality system, with set pressure and capacity verified before a valve ships.

Industries That Rely on Our Safety Valve:
Power Generation and Boiler Systems
Used to protect boiler drums, steam headers, and turbine systems from overpressure conditions.
Used across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations to protect vessels, separators, and pipelines from overpressure.
Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
Used to protect reactors, storage tanks, and process piping handling hazardous or corrosive fluids.
Compressed Gas and Industrial Air Systems
Used to protect compressors, receivers, and distribution piping from pressure buildup.
Marine and Defense Applications
Used in shipboard and military systems requiring documented compliance with mission-specific pressure protection standards.
Safety Valve Testing, Inspection, and Repair:
1)Jurisdictional Inspection Requirements
Many states require periodic inspection by an authorized inspector
Intervals are set by jurisdiction, not a single national standard
2)Recommended Testing Intervals
3)In-Plant vs Bench Testing
In-plant testing checks performance without removing the valve
Bench testing removes the valve for controlled testing on a dedicated stand, giving more precise set pressure verification
