Calculating the discharge area of a safety valve is quite complicated----as beginners think
Thread Content
When calculating the discharge area of safety valves, the numerous calculation requirements specified in GB150 and relevant standards indeed make the process cumbersome. I would like to know which conditions can be ignored in routine calculations, and what good practices exist in this regard
The best approach is to remove the safety valve setting and let the owner decide within the system, but there are some situations where this is not possible. Another option is to change careers; as an accountant, there’s no need to worry about safety valves.
When working with pressure vessels, safety comes first; there should be no attempt to cut corners – one must proceed in a thorough and careful manner. The calculation of safety valves must be precise, and it is recommended to follow the regulations governing pressure vessels, as these regulations provide a safer approach (due to different values used for determining the release pressure)
Yes, when designing something, one should not take shortcuts; a solid work attitude is essential. If you find it troublesome, you can write a program so that you can perform the calculations yourself by entering a few key values later on.
