All I have is that ASME VIII. API-520, -521, ISO-4126, AD Merkblatt A2 2000 etc., all for Pressure Relief Valves, state that the upstream/inlet piping leading to the PRV, should have non-recoverable pressure loss limited to 3 % maximum.

If he question was related to pressure relief valves, note the separate forum for safety relief valves.

Per ISO-4126, only the term Safety Valve is used regardless of application or design.
