Analysis of Relief Valve Discharge Piping
Analysis of Relief Valve Discharge Piping
(OP)
I am looking for procedure to analyze a closed relief valve system. So far, all I have run across are ways to analyze open relief valve systems. I do have access to Caesar II software. Does anyone know of any specific examples? Thanks.

I assume you want to do a hydraulic analysis, but Caesar is for stress analysis (?).

I am trying to analyze the dischage piping of relief valve that discharge into systems that floats on atmosphere (typical flare header with KO pot arrangment). When I speak of analysis, I am needing to perform stress analysis that takes into consideration the impulse forces of a relief valve opening and the associated dynamics.

As far as I know, there are no programs that will do all the above in one box.

Also, for transient analysis, somehow one needs to determine if chattering is ocurring,, and either that needs to be simulated, or the system modified to avoid chattering.

Any suggestion about software capable of performing such analysis correctly based on your experience? We are thinking of purchasing software for hydraulic transients and would like to perform this kind of calculation.
Thank you for the information.
