KR-315 Bonnet
The bonnet of the pressure relief valve shall be vented
to prevent accumulation of pressure. Sealing/isolation of
the bonnet area from the relieving fluid may be required
for protection of the spring assembly from corrosion or
solids accumulation.

an open bonnet. This is usually advantageous when the safety valve is used on high temperature fluids or for boiler
applications as, otherwise, high temperatures can relax the spring, altering the set pressure of the valve. However,
using an open bonnet exposes the valve spring and internals to environmental conditions, which can lead to damage
and corrosion of the spring.
When the fluid must be completely contained by the safety valve (and the discharge system), it is necessary to use a
closed bonnet, which is not vented to the atmosphere. This type of spring enclosure is almost universally used for
small screwed valves and, it is becoming increasingly common on many valve ranges since, particularly on steam,
discharge of the fluid could be hazardous to personnel.
