How to Choose a Good Quantity of Safety Valve
Choosing the correct quantity of safety valves involves a comprehensive understanding of the system requirements, adherence to regulatory standards, accurate capacity calculations, consideration of redundancy and practical installation factors, and regular testing and maintenance.
Overview
Pressure and Temperature:
Maximum operating pressure and temperature.
Set pressure: The pressure at which the valve will start to open.
Overpressure: The allowable pressure increase over the set pressure before the valve fully opens.
Installation Environment:
Ambient temperature.
Corrosive environments.
Space constraints.
Environmental and Operational:
