Safety vs. Relief Valves Explained by Shikhar Swaroop is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Safety valves and relief valves are pressure relief devices that prevent equipment damage from over-pressurization. The main difference is that a relief valve opens only as needed to relieve pressure while a safety valve rapidly pops fully open at the set point and remains open until pressure drops below the reset point. Both are critical devices that can prevent catastrophic failures by relieving pressure during power failures when other controls are non-functional. Their operation relies solely on process
