Topic, Do PVSV and PRV on top of Storage Tank (designed by API 650) to be UV Stamped?

Thank you in advance!

API-650 Relates to the Storage Tank - I can't comment as I do not have. But basically, If the installation is the USA, and the pressure is 15 PSIG and above, then a ASME VIII "UV/NB" Code Stamped Pressure Relief Valve/device is required. Storage tank will require overpressure protection for various scenarios.

If not USA then end user and/or specification may require it (in addition to any local law or regulation).

Per ISO, only the term Safety Valve is used regardless of application or design.

No. It's not a pressure vessel.

It's am atmospheric pressure storage tank if it's an API 650 tank

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Thanks!

I haven't got the time to ask proctoseal, but my colleague has already come to a decision, no UV stamp.

It needs to be an API 2000 vent
