You may use following content as summery of points for in-service inspection of pressure safety valve only.

 

 

1. Determination pressure safety valve inspection interval based API STD 510 and API RP 576 requirements

 

 

2. Inspection of inlet and outlet piping after pressure safety valve removal for any fouling

 

 

 

3. Inspection of pressure safety valve charge and discharge nozzles for possible deposit and corrosion products

 

 

4. Taking care for proper handling of pressure safety valves from unit to the valve shop. The detail of handling and transportation instruction is provided in API RP 576.

 

 

5. Controlling of seals for being intact when the valves arrived to the valve shop

 

 

6. Making as received POP test and recording the relieving pressure

 

 

7. If the POP pressure is higher than the set pressure the test need to be repeated and if in the second effort it was near to the set pressure it is because of deposit.

 

 

8. If in the second effort it was not opened near to the set pressure either it was set wrongly or it was changed during the operation

 

 

9. If the pressure safety valve was not opened in 150% of set pressure it should be considered as stuck shut.

 

 

10. If the pressure safety valve was opened below the set pressure the spring is weakened http://www.luofuvalve.com/
