Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to develop a new design for the fluid-safety valve to make it more environmentally friendly.

Design/methodology/approach

Computational fluid dynamics is carried out to analyse the behaviour of flow in both traditional and new safety valves.

Findings

The possibility of failure in the new design under the maximum allowable working pressure is analysed using finite element analysis.

Originality/value

Investigating a new low-fluid pressure safety valve design.
