How to calculate safety valves and rupture discs?
Thread Content
How are safety valves and burst discs calculated? I’m new to this field and don’t understand much about it. Are there any calculation software tools? How is this calculated? Please ask the experts for guidance
The safety valve is specified in GB150

Both the Code for Pressure Vessels and GB150 have provisions. :)
There are many shared versions available online that can be found, but it is still recommended to use the calculation formula in GB567 and apply it manually
If you don’t want to do the calculations by hand, use SW6; it’s quite convenient
Safety valves are special types of equipment; it’s advisable to consult experts for more information, or use software for calculations. However, the results of such calculations can only be used for reference by oneself – without the proper qualifications, no design drawings can be created based on them.
