PSV sizing for liquids with high boiling points
Hi, Is it appropriate to size a PSV for liquids with high boiling points assuming thermal expansion only in a fire scenario? (Given the following) BP = 400 deg F (at 14.7 psi) Set pressure PSV= 75 psi Flow pressure PSV = 82 psi (110%) Tank = 30,000 USG of product, 98% full Thanks in...- jmo83
