Steam flow rule of thumb 150 fps
Steam flow rule of thumb 150 fps
(OP)
I am reviewing some relief valve calcs done by an engineering firm for a manufacturer about 10 years ago. In several instances the value of 150 fps was used to calculate the steam flow limit through pipe (and therefore max case through RV). This was done in several cases representing pipe diameters from 2 - 6 inches, and (I believe) for several upsteam pressure cases. Anyone have any experience with this? The fact that it was used over a diversity of cases, and by a handful of engineers, makes me think this must be some rule of thumb number with which I am unfamilar.
