Abstract
Pressure-relief valves are disclosed. A valve for conveying fluid includes a body, a valve seat, and a valve seat disc. The body includes a plurality of inner surfaces. The valve seat includes a curved outer surface. A first portion of the curved outer surface is configured to contact at least one of the plurality of inner surfaces of the body to secure the valve seat in the body. The valve seat disc is configured to move between a closed position at which the valve seat disc sealingly engages a second outer portion of the curved outer surface of the valve seat and an open position at which the valve seat disc is disengaged from the curved outer surface of the valve seat.
