ASHRAE standard - Refrigeration Compressor Discharge Safety Valve

ASHRAE standard - Refrigeration Compressor Discharge Safety Valve

ASHRAE standard - Refrigeration Compressor Discharge Safety Valve

(OP)
Can someone advise if there is an ASHRAE standard for sizing compressor discharge safety valve.
I am evaluating a R-134a compressor purchased in 1999.
The safety valve rated flow is sized for about 25% of compressor rated capacity.
I'm wondering if this is an ASHRAE standard.
My current client is "antsy" and wants a safety rated for full compressor capacity.
