API RP 14J for safety valves inlet/outlet sizing
API RP 14J for safety valves inlet/outlet sizing
(OP)
Hi, I have to size a pressure safety vale for an off-shore platform skid, and reading a technical clarification by client I found this specification: "the PSV inlet and outlet shall be sized as per API 14J requirement". What does it mean?
Usually I apply the API RP 520 code for safety valve sizing; moreover, reading the API 14J code I wasn't able to find anything about pressure safety valves connections sizing... Someone can help me?
Thank you for your attetion.

Also note that API RP 14J contains a list of standards (table 2) and this list shows that API RP 520/521 are applicable for relief/vent systems. Therefore, in my opinion you can use API RP 520/521 without violating your clients specification...
