Safety Valves
An engineering module for pressure relief valve sizing and rating – from determining relief loads to evaluating valve capacity
- Relief scenarios
- Overpressure cases with specified process conditions, fluid composition and state, and the required relief flow rate
- Valve selection
- Determination of the required orifice area and evaluation of the selected valve capacity under specified conditions
- Installation conditions
- Consideration of backpressure and inlet and outlet pressure losses, comparison of scenarios and preparation of inputs for the flare network
