Answer:

Safety valves are part of the safety features placed in the system to prevent the system from experiencing over pressures

Step-by-step explanation:

A safety valve is a valve that is actuated automatically when the pressure on the inlet portion rises to a specified value to allow the outflow or discharge of fluid such as liquid, steam or gas out of the system to prevent the system pressure limit from being exceeded. The design of safety valves is such that the valve closes the emergency outlet port again once the system pressure returns to normal.
