Vent Pipe PSV - should be calculated according ASME/other standard?
Vent Pipe PSV - should be calculated according ASME/other standard?
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I would like your help to understand a situation regarding the vent pipes we install after a PSV.
I heard from someone that also that kind of pipe should be evaluated according to ASME Section VIII, div1. Since they are open to atmosphere, what's the reason to consider a pressure vessel standard to calculate it?
Thanks in advance.

Since, as the ASME provide us guidelines for tubes with ligaments (UG-53), I went in confusion regarding also the applicability to pipe vent, even if they are different things.
