Thermal Relief Valve Calculation

Thermal Relief Valve Calculation

Thermal Relief Valve Calculation

(OP)

We are in the process of performing a thermal relief valve calculation and have found no good reference to check the calc. Can anyone provide general equations and a reference for this?

Thanks

RE: Thermal Relief Valve Calculation

Try:

API 520, Sizing, Selection and Installation of Pressure Relieving Devices in Refineries.

API 521, Guide for Pressure Relieving and Depressuring Systems.

RE: Thermal Relief Valve Calculation

Also the ASME Code,both Section III and Section VIII have articles dealing with sizing of relief valves (Section III, Division 1, Articles NB-7000, NC-7000 and ND-7000 "Overpressure Protection" and Section VIII, Parts UG 125 - 137 "Overpressure Protection")
