What should pressure relief devices for compression equipment do?

  1. Increase pressure to maximum working levels

  2. Limit stage pressure to the maximum allowable working pressure

  3. Have no specific function or limits

  4. Only operate during emergencies

The correct answer is: Limit stage pressure to the maximum allowable working pressure

Pressure relief devices for compression equipment are designed to ensure safety by limiting stage pressure to the maximum allowable working pressure. These devices serve as a critical safety mechanism, preventing equipment failures that could result from excessive pressure buildup. By maintaining the pressure within designated limits, they help protect both the equipment and the operator from potential hazards, such as explosions or catastrophic failures due to over-pressurization. The purpose of these devices is essential in the context of safety regulations and engineering practices, where maintaining operational parameters is vital for the safe functioning of gas compression systems. Regulators and safety codes often specify the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) to guide the design and function of pressure relief devices, underscoring their role in operational safety.
