PCT No. PCT/GB92/01825 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 13, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 13, 1993 PCT Filed Oct. 7, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/08415 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 29, 1993.A pressure relief valve includes a fluid flow channel (6, 19, 21) through which an initial flow of fluid passes in use, and a valve opening member (23) responsive at a predetermined fluid pressure to open the valve (13) and allow an increased fluid flow therethrough. The valve opening member (23) is located substantially centrally in the fluid flow channel (6, 19, 21) to ensure it is always exposed to the fluid flow. Part of the flow channel (21) is formed by part of the valve (13). The valve opening member (23) and flow channel (21) are elongated and parallel. A screen (13) on the valve screens the outlet end of the channel (21) from the fluid inlet port (6).
