Safety valve rules, i.e., rules for overpressure protection by the use of various pressure-relieving devices, vary somewhat among the five book sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code which require such protection. This paper reviews those rules by discussing the following topics: pressure relief device terminology and function; the problem of overpressure protection; code rules for overpressure protection; the various pressure relief devices permitted by the code; design of pressure relief valves; how relieving capacities are established and certified; the qualification of pressure relief device manufacturers; installation guidelines; and concluding remarks.
