relief temperature
relief temperature
(OP)
Hello everybody ,
In a psv sized for blocked flow case(gases)relief temp is equal to the operating temp but if the pipe and also a close by vessel catches fire what would be the relief temp in that case . Should i use amonton's law to calculate the relief temperature.
Thx !!

Had to google Amonton (died 1705). Well whatever his law is as long as i describes the relationship between boilingpint P/T then fine.
I short: Determine the boiling temperature at your specified relief pressure (INCLUDING allowable ove pressure). This is probably done by using a process simulation tool if you have a mixture of organic compounds or if water a steam table.
