overdrukbeveiligingen
Overdrukbeveiligingen, also known as overpressure protection devices, are safety mechanisms designed to prevent excessive pressure build‑up in pressure vessels, pipelines, and process equipment. By automatically venting or shutting off the system when pressure exceeds a predetermined limit, they protect structural integrity, equipment, and personnel.
These devices come in several common forms. Relief valves, for example, equalise pressure by opening a calibrated
When selecting an overdrukbeveiliging, engineers consider absolute pressure rating, temperature range, fluid properties, and flow capacity.
Maintenance involves visual inspections for corrosion, damage, or misalignment, as well as pressure‑test verification. Maintenance intervals
In industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation, overdrukbeveiligingen are mandated by safety
