pressure relief valve setting

(OP)
i'm trying to determine the correct setting for my Direct Acting Pressure Relief Valve.  this is a hydraulic system which i know the accepted setting is 10% over MAWP.  However, the valve in question is in an accumulator pressurized with nitrogen.  i need to know if pneumatic relief valves have different setting standards than hydraulic.  working with 3000 psi system.  any info will help.  thanks.
