Difference between Relief valve & pressure reducing valve ?
Can we use pressure reducing valve instead of pressure
relief valve ?

Answer Posted / tutul

relief v/v is used to save the system from excessive
pressure that will automatically open when pressure exceeds
its set value.
Pressure reducing v/v is used to reduce the pressure per
requirement and it is not auto.
