RE: Dead weight safety valve
A Pallett which corresponds to a Spring Loaded PRV Disc is fitted with weights and opens in repsonse to overpressure. However, these are very low pressure. Typically less than 5 psi and are Non-Code Applications. ASME Sec VIII is considering lowering the minimum pressur efor a Code Stamped valve from 15 down to 3 psi. This would open the door for these types of valves , but only in low pressure.
