*** Per ISO-4126, the generic term
'Safety Valve' is used regardless of application or design ***
*** 'Pressure-relief Valve' is the equivalent ASME/API term ***

It is important to be explicit and not to confuse terms.
As so well explained by the Obturator above, we are assuming by your use of the word "tungsten" you are trying to say "tungsten steel" and not the metal tungsten.
You are probably dealing with some very old data sheets where "tungsten steel" implied a premium and costly material.
But the world has moved on and there are better and lest costly alternatives
When you mean "chrome steel" say so ... do not say "chrome". Similar rules apply with tungsten steel

When i received "The Obturator" feedback, i communicate with PSV manufacturer and finally i got confirmation. Now we are correcting the data sheet error.
Thanks a lot for your support..
Thanks
