steam valves
Boiler safety outlets
Steam valves are mechanical devices that control the flow of steam through pipes and machinery.
They regulate pressure, direction, and volume in steam-powered systems—from industrial boilers to old locomotives.
The engineer adjusted the steam valves to prevent the boiler from building too much pressure.
The term appears in discussions of historical technology and modern power generation.
