Training Introduction

Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) play a critical role in preventing overpressure incidents and safeguarding personnel, equipment, and the environment. Their correct selection, installation, testing, and maintenance are essential for maintaining asset integrity and meeting regulatory requirements across process industries. This five‑day PSV Training Course provides participants with a solid understanding of PSV fundamentals, international standards, maintenance practices, and hands‑on test bench operations.

Participants will explore PSV engineering concepts through technical presentations, real‑world case studies, calculation workshops, troubleshooting sessions, and practical demonstrations. The training emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical competence, enabling delegates to confidently inspect, maintain, test, and manage PSV systems in line with global engineering practices. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the skills needed to enhance reliability, improve safety performance, and support compliance within their facilities.

Key Focus Areas of This Course

  • Comprehensive PSV engineering fundamentals
  • International codes, standards, and compliance requirements
  • Practical PSV test bench operations and verification
  • Maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting techniques
  • AI and digital applications in safety and reliability systems

What are the goals?

This Pressure Safety Valve Training Course aims to strengthen participants’ technical understanding and practical capabilities in PSV management. By combining engineering principles with hands‑on exercises, the course ensures attendees can confidently apply best practices in real operational environments.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand PSV operating principles and performance characteristics
  • Apply international engineering standards such as API, ASME, and ISO
  • Perform PSV testing procedures using calibrated test bench equipment
  • Evaluate maintenance requirements and identify common faults
  • Develop effective PSV maintenance and testing strategies

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is designed for professionals involved in the design, operation, inspection, testing, calibration, and maintenance of Pressure Safety Valves. It supports both developing and experienced personnel seeking to enhance their technical knowledge and apply international best practices in PSV reliability and safety.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Mechanical Engineers
