Design Criteria for PSV outlet Pipe (Hazardous Service)
Design Criteria for PSV outlet Pipe (Hazardous Service)
(OP)
We are in the process of designing an outlet pipe specifications for a PSV with hazardous Hydrocarbon service.
Should an unforeseen fire situation in the PSV outlet pipe have an impact on calculation of outlet pipe size??
Normally, what I believe that the flow rate, pressure and temperature in the outlet pipe of PSV should be considered crietria for deciding the specifications.
Any further opinions?
