Lifting Device as required by the ASME


ASME Section VIII: UG136(3)
Each pressure relief valve on air, water at the valve inlet that exceeds 140°F (60°C), excluding over-pressure or relief events, or steam service shall have a substantial lifting device which when activated will release the seating force on the disk when the pressure relief valve is subjected to a pressure of at least 75% of the set pressure of the valve.


Under ASME code  case 2203: 

The lift lever may be omitted providing:

1. The user has a documented procedure and an associated implementation program for the periodic removal of the relief valve for inspection, testing, and repair.
2. The user specifies that no test lever be supplied.
3. The user shall obtain permission to omit the lifting lever (device) from the authority having jurisdiction over the installation of pressure vessel.

These rules apply to valves installed in ASME Section VIII applications.

All valves used in ASME Section I (Boiler) applications require lifting levers except for those valves used in organic fluid vaporizer service.
