I totally agree with KenA. Usually the maintenance contractor for the safety valves will guarantee no chattering for up to 90% of the set pressure.
If your operating pressure is above 90% of the set pressure, the contractor won't be able to help if you see chattering.

Yes. This could result in excessive opening and closing of the valve in service. Also, this must be done by a VR stamp holder.
Yes.

Correct terminology and word usage is important in these fora..
The use of the term "safety valve" assumes that you are refering to a code stamped device on a boiler.
Is that true...?
In what world location is this valve ???
