Paddintongreen, please accept my apologies I didn't intend to be offensive, sorry if I did. I'll read carefully this appendice you linked. JStephen your point is clear, thanks. The rest of you thanks, you've all been helpful

It's an existing flare stack, ten meter long over a forty meter high roof. The four 35 mm diameter and ten meter long guy wires have been there for almost thirty years. I bought like for like replacement wires. I know the nominal tension for the new ones, but the question is...shall I tension...

I don't know if this is the correct forum. My question is: Does anybody know if there is some international Standard stablishing the correct tension for a guy wire? I'm talking of a flare stack supported by for guy wires for stability. I'm looking for something like "...10% of the nominal...

Hi you there! You have all been very helpfulll. I apreciatte your responses. Keep it going! Thank you![thumbsup] Daniel

In this case, Option b - Switching from PSVa to PSVb while the tank is in service, but the situation shouldn't make any difference. I think the correct way is -in any case- Open BVb2 first, then BVb1. Am I wrong? My reason is -for safety-, you first have your PSVb discharge open, then the...

I don't know, maybe it's a silly question but... Please, look at the picture, if I have to put the PSVb in service, which will be the correct sequence? Open BVb1 first, then BVb2 ? Open BVb2 first, then BVb1 ? It doesn't matter which one first ? For any answer please, could you give me your...

Donf, JimCasey: Thanks a lot. You both been very helpfull. Bye

JimCasey: You are right, is definitively a very old valve, but it is a lubricated one. Actually what I was looking for were some details of the sealant (lubricating) compound for that valve and the correct lubricating procedure. I've found the complete name, is Rockwell Merex, and it is from the...

Hi guys, where I work, I found a manual selector valve under a pair of PSVs, and it's not working properly. The brand seems to be MEREX or something like that. I'm attaching a picture. I can't find information about it. Does any of you have heard about this brand, any web page, some technical...

Every PSV must have been designed for an specific and WORST CREDIBLE SCENARIO. If you just establish there's no way of achieve that risk condition then you don´t need a relief device. Be aware, sometimes the scenario is external fire then no matter process coditions, you need a PSV. Hope it...

JSSeaagull: This is for Argentina Ggordil: I agree. I haven't asked any one but you yet. [glasses]

Hi guys: I found in a form I've got to fill in, the following word (phrase): WETTED ELASTOMER. refering to a material description of a PSV. If among you there is a Spanish language guy, I would like to ask what the translation would be: ELASTÓMERO MOJADO?, HÚMEDO?, BLANDO? Is in this case...

Rob, What I mean is that I would think of discharging my RD into another place. Just don´t think about if it breaks from the back. You must see the situation as if you were establishing a potential overpressure scenario because of the header pressure in the discharge side of the disc. Do you see...

Rob5377, the only silly question is the one that is not asked. I agree with everybody. The only thing I would like to ask is, did you say ¿¿40 bar?? Rgds Daniel

Robsalv, at our plant, we take the outside conditions of the prv as part of the issues to be taken in account when determining the next interval. For example, let's say very good results in test stand lead us to a 5 year interval, but corrotion in bolts and nuts may put us in trouble within...
