What is BS EN 16631 — Reconditioning of pressure relief valves about?
BS EN 16631 is an international standard that covers specifications for LPG equipment and accessories.
BS EN 16631 specifies the requirements for the reconditioning, retesting, and certification of Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) for LPG pressure vessels.
BS EN 16631 specifies the technicalities such as terms, definitions, materials used, inspection pattern, the procedure for reconditioning, pressure setting of PRV, process for changing the set pressure, etc. for reconditioning of pressure relief valves.
BS EN 16631 applies to retesting and reconditioning of PRVs that are carried out in a workshop and does not apply to site adjustment of installed PRVs.
Who is BS EN 16631 — Reconditioning of pressure relief valves for?
BS EN 16631 on reconditioning of pressure relief valves is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of PRV
- LPG cylinder gas testing department
- LPG cylinder manufacturing companies
- LPG pressure vessel manufacturing industries
- Inspection and maintenance providers of LPG Valves
Why should you use BS EN 16631 — Reconditioning of pressure relief valves?
Pressure relief valves (safety relief valves) are constructed such that, they open at a pre-set pressure and discharge fluid until the pressure drops to acceptable levels.
BS EN 16631 provides you with the safety requirements for the reconditioning, retesting, and certification of Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) for LPG pressure vessels that are in compliance with international standards. It helps to improve the quality of Pressure relief valves for LPG pressure vessels and thus ensures the safety of the environment where the LPG cylinder is placed.
BS EN 16631 is also considered to be important for the sustainability cause, as using a good quality pressure relief valve contributes to saving LPG and it is always a good idea to save these resources as much as we can. Protection of the environment is a key political issue everywhere in the world.
