Hi all!
I'm searching for some information about how estimate the reaction force caused by relief valves in closed sistems.
Some companies have standarized the use of the equation on API 520 specified for open discharged.
What method are you developed for this cases or if you have information about any document related it will be appreciated.

Thanks
