If installing a RD below relief valve, does the pressure setting have to be below the PSV, or just below the MAWP of the vessel being protected?

Or should it be slightly higher to prevent premature rupture and possible contamination/damage to PSV?
 
check out Fike's info regarding the use of PSD and PSV combinations.

the excess flow valve to allow small leaks to escape or the use of a pressure switch between the PSD and PSV are not uncommon depending on the gas and service.
