🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a relief valve on a positive displacement cargo pump • Where overpressure is most likely to occur in relation to the pump, suction, and discharge valves • What happens if a downstream discharge valve is shut while the pump is running

💭 Think About

• Consider on which side of the pump (suction or discharge) dangerous pressure buildup can actually occur if a valve is closed • Think about the flow path: from cargo tank, through suction line, pump, and out the discharge line. Where would a pressure‑relieving device best protect the pump and piping? • Ask yourself: if the discharge valve were accidentally closed while pumping, where must the relief valve be located so it can still relieve pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which side of the pump (suction vs discharge) can realistically experience high pressure when the pump is operating • Check that the relief valve must be able to bypass flow or relieve pressure even if a valve is closed downstream • Eliminate any option where a closed valve would isolate the pump from the relief valve, making it useless in an overpressure situation
