Safety valve is used to release the excess pressure inside the boiler drum. When pressure inside the drum exceeds the working pressure, safety valves blow-off the steam into the atmosphere. Generally, four types of safety valves are used in boilers:

  1. Dead weight safety valve
  2. Spring loaded safety valve
  3. Lever safety valve and
  4. High steam low water safety valve
