RE: Reaction force from relief valves

This topic has been discussed at length already.  I would politely suggest that you perform a search of previous threads.  If these threads don't answer your question, reply back with a link to those threads and an explanation of how they didn't answer your question.

Cheers!

RE: Reaction force from relief valves

When the valve opens, there is first a transient, followed by a steady state force.

Take a look to the ASME Code B31.1 Appendix II. The whole appendix is dedicated to this topic. It has some general guidelines for steam applications
