[...] un «limiteur» de pression [...] n'est pas un pressostat de sécurité [...] puisqu'il n'arrête pas le groupe en cas de dépassement, mais interdit tout simplement à la pression de dépasser une certaine limite préfixée. Et, à plus forte raison, il n'agit pas comme une soupape de sécurité qui, elle, laisse généralement échapper une certaine quantité de gaz vers l'extérieur. A noter que dans ce dernier cas, les Américains désignent le dispositif précisément par le terme «Pressure relief valve». 2, record 2, French, - limiteur%20de%20pression

Les équipements sous pression doivent être protégés par au moins un limiteur de pression. Celui-ci doit être conçu de manière que les sautes de pression momentanées ne dépassent pas de plus de 10% la pression maximum admissible. Aucun système de fermeture ne doit être installé entre l'équipement sous pression et le dispositif de sécurité ou à la sortie de ce dernier. 3, record 2, French, - limiteur%20de%20pression
