RE: Safety Relief Valves
In a HIPPS, there are "blowdown" and "shutdown" type valves, but they are to a reliability, maintenance, instrumentation and everything else in a HIPPS, much higher requirement.
So, in general, the answer would be that blowdown and shutdown valves are not safety relief valves.
