pressure relief valve
Overpressure escape mechanism
A pressure relief valve is a safety device that automatically releases fluid or gas when pressure exceeds a set limit, preventing equipment failure or explosion.
Found in boilers, pipelines, and pressurized tanks, it opens at a predetermined threshold and reseals when pressure drops: The pressure relief valve on the water heater started leaking.
