Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a corporate-level maintenance strategy that is implemented to optimize the maintenance program of a company or facility. The final result of an RCM program is the implementation of a specific maintenance strategy on each of the assets of the facility. The maintenance strategies are optimized so that the productivity of the plant is maintained using cost-effective maintenance techniques.
There are four principles that are critical for an reliability centered maintenance program.
Relief valve is a safety component of the hydraulic system.
It depends on the provided system pressure. It is% greater than the system pressure.
If you have a hydraulic system operates on bar then adjust the relief valve up to bar.
The main function of the relief valve is to assure that there is no accumulation of pressure which results in explosion/leakage of the hydraulic system and this can damage the hoses and seals.
Take in regard that the adjustment pressure of the relief valve does not exceed the rated/ design pressure for the hoses, seals and the other components of the hydraulic circuit. If the designed pressure for the hoses is bar so you have to decrease it than bar in order to run the system/ equipment with no failure and within safety limits.
