Due to high upstream pressure, how should the discharge volume of the safety valve in high-temperature hot water pipelines be calculated? Thank you

There is information on safety valve calculations in HG20570; or search for API

Generally, the design pressure of a pipeline is set to be greater than or equal to the upstream pressure; in this case, there is no need to install a safety valve on the pipeline. If the design pressure of the pipeline is lower than the highest pressure at the upstream source, a safety valve must be installed on the pipeline, with a discharge capacity equal to the maximum flow rate from the source. The safety valve calculation sheet I prepared is for trial use; see the attachment.
