After perusing this forum and debating with my coworkers, I think I understand the approach to discharge pipe sizing...maybe. Can you guys let me know if this is right?
For discussion's sake, let's assume:
1) PSV is 6M8
2) Flow medium is air
3) PSV rated flow is 264,000 lb/hr
4) Back pressure...
Does anyone out there happen to have any old Texsteam relief valve catalogs? I'm looking for gas sizing coefficients for 7700 and 77000/87000 series relief valves.
I tried the Texsteam and NASVI routes without any luck.
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have any input on what size of hole might be expected in a plate exchanger if it should happen to rupture? Not quite as straight-forward as using the tube diameter in a shell and tube rupture case.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
My question concerns sizing a pressure relief valve based on fire exposure. When calculating the heat absorption across the unwetted surface of a vessel, API 520 recommends using 1100 F as the vessel wall temperature for a carbon steel vessel. Anyone know what wall temperature to use for...
