    Steam Condition after PSV of Boiler

    I saw that Latexman first line was the answer I looked for and I am grateful to him, and to others that helped. My comment is because I recognized that given that I am fresh out of college, this forum might be a sea for bigger fish than myself. Was out of humility, no sarcasm or rudeness...

    Steam Condition after PSV of Boiler

    Is not homework, although no way I can convince you guys. Will refrain posting then, until I have a more "professional" question. Or post on the link suggested then.

    Steam Condition after PSV of Boiler

    Considering a Boiler that produces dry saturated steam at 16barg. I would like to known temperature of steam at psv of boiler outlet pipe. Would be reasonable to consider adiabatic expansion and PSV would superheat the steam, and temperature would be around 150Celcius at ATM as shown on...

    PSV outlet piping to atmosphere design pressure?

    Thank you all, you guys were very helpful.

    PSV outlet piping to atmosphere design pressure?

    The instalation is in reality about 27m from boiler to funnel top (pipe outlet). Outlet diameter of PSV and outlet pipe, is not defined yet. The 6inch for steam at ATM considering blocked discharge and requiring the total flow trough PSV, would create too high velocity. Is the consideration...

    PSV outlet piping to atmosphere design pressure?

    The example I gave was hypothetical. I think you guys clarified now, the pressure at pipe will be only the pressure drop of outlet pipe to discharge and it seems I was wrong. 5K would be 5barg or 75psi, which I think would suffice considering what you guys answered. Thank you very much. When...

    PSV outlet piping to atmosphere design pressure?

    Hi, I believe that outlet pipe should have design pressure same as the boiler design pressure and have been defending that at my work. However, people at my work argument that since outlet pipe discharge to atmosphere, piping design pressure can be low(5K Class), since pressure over all the...
