With the limited information you have given I (we) cannot give you any help.

Please supply the complete sentence that this (LM RV) was used in or other information that will shed light on the context of the use.

LM RV- I thing its Line mounted Relief valve.

It should be working for pressure relief and it should have three Major ports.

One is Inlet, another one is out let and last one is Drain port.

Its function: When the system pressure is reach more than our setting pressure the oil will return to tank and it should maintain the system pressure constanly.

Regards

Shan

Also wrong - RV's are generally not line mounted - they mount on a vessel and dump to the atmosphere or in the case of toxic, very hot and /or flammables they dump into a large diameter header - such as the flare header in oil refineries.

This will be dependent on the type of systems that you work on.

I can think of quite a few systems where relief Vvs are line mounted and not an integral part of a pump or other component.

BS - US engineering is no different from the rest of the world and a great many RV's in process plants are attached to lines. Whether or not LM means these valves I do not know.
