OBJECTIVES
• To model and assemble the parts of a lever safety valve using a
modelling software
• To generate the 2D drawings of various parts
• To design the valve for find the blow off pressure
LEVER SAFETY VALVE
• It is used to maintain a constant safe pressure inside the boiler
• When the pressure inside the boiler increases the safe value, the
excess steam blows off through the valve automatically
• The weights and its distance from the fulcrum are so adjusted
• When the steam pressure acting upward on the valve exceeds the
normal limit, it lifts the valve and the lever with its weights
