    Maximum tank pressure from a gas blow-by

    Thanks, TD2K. The Varec 221P will open at ~ 15.0 psia at ~650,000 scfh blow by rate. However, in relation to vast pressure difference between the pipe exit and tank pressures, I suspect that expansion waves will occur near the pipe exit and give significant rise to the local pressure near the...

    Maximum tank pressure from a gas blow-by

    Hello to All. An abnormal condition causes natural gas to blow through a liquid level control valve [LCV] to an atmospheric tank [p design is 15.7 psia]. I can show that the tank's relief valve has sufficient capacity to handle the gas flow rate, but I do not know how to determine the maximum...
