dcasto,
thank you for your reply. This is also my interpretation of B31.8, that is, a pipeline can be designed for a pressure that then will be the MAOP for that pipeline and, in addition, it is in full compliance with B31.8, the fact that the PSV protecting the pipeline and therefore set at...
Thank you ZDS04 and Toffeblock for your replies; but still my doubt is there: what does the code B31.8 require in this case, i.e. can the design pressure of the pipeline be 100 bar g or it is mandatory to use a design pressure equal to 110 bar g to be in full compliance with with B31.8...
Dear all,
the point is: one pipeline is to be designed according to B31.8 and is protected by an upstream PSV.
Knowing that usually the PSV overpressure is 10 % of the set pressure, how can I correctly define the design pressure of the pipeline, i.e. should I use as design pressure the PSV set...
