B31.1 Overpressure protection requirements
B31.1 Overpressure protection requirements
(OP)
Hi all,
I have to design a system with 500psi design pressure and need some help on overpressure protection requirements.
Is there any compiled document which I can refer which provides all the requirements of B31.1 for overpressure protection.
Going through the code, I found information all over the place and that has become a bit confusing.
Any guidance will help a lot.
