Regarding the relief valve discharge rate expressed in standard condition air
Thread Content
I’ve seen that in some design documents, the discharge volume of safety valves is specified based on the air flow rate under standard conditions. How do we convert this to the discharge volume of safety valves as per our usual design practices? Or how is the diameter of the safety valve calculated based on this standard air flow rate? I would appreciate some guidance from those who have experience with this, thank you.
It’s usually the mass flow rate that’s given, right?
It is generally specified in terms of mass flow rate, and all calculations for safety valves are also based on mass flow rate, measured in Kg/h
The calculation of safety valves mainly involves the discharge volume and the calculation of the minimum pressure relief area; this information can be found in many manuals
Are there any good manuals? Please let me know so I can make an appointment. Thank you
