Objective |
Size the relief valves based on the required flow. Size all the pipes. |
Calculate the relief valve back pressures. |
|
Source |
Specify the required flow. |
Specify the required flow. |
|
Relief Valves |
Calculate the required orifice area so that you can select the appropriate orifice letter designation. |
Report the back pressure calculated by the downstream piping. Calculate the required fraction of relief valve capacity. |
|
Pipes |
Calculate the approximate diameter so that you can set the nominal pipe size. Calculate the downstream pressure. |
Set the inside diameter based on the nominal pipe size. Calculate the upstream pressure from the flow. Check for choked flow. |
|
Mixers |
Calculate the pressure from the minimum inlet pressures. |
Set all outlet pressures to be the same as the inlet pressures. |
|
Stack |
Calculate the pressure from the upstream piping. |
Set the pressure to atmospheric pressure. |
