I'm working on a new proyect, I want to know how to calculate the proper size for a safety valve for a steam line that has a flow of 8500 lb/hr, we will install a pressure regulator (from 200 psi to 43.5 psi) after the regulator will be a control valve (setpoint 21.75 psi) in this part of the line I need to install the safety valve to be set at 36.25psi. The pipe line size will be 6", the manufater of the equipment recomends a 4"x6", my question is why this size, why not a 3'x4"?
