تحجيم صمام التنفيس وفق API 520

Required orifice area for vapour or liquid relief, mapped onto the nearest API 526 standard orifice.

المدخلات

Gauge.

10 % for a single valve, 21 % for the fire case.

Pounds per hour of vapour.

معاملات التصحيح

0.975 for a certified vapour valve, 0.65 for liquid.

0.9 where a rupture disk is installed upstream, otherwise 1.

كيف تُحسب

  • Vapour, critical flow: A = W·√(TZ/M) / (C·Kd·P₁·Kb·Kc), with C = 520·√[k·(2/(k+1))^((k+1)/(k−1))].
  • Liquid: A = Q·√(G/ΔP) / (38·Kd·Kw·Kc·Kv), the API 520 certified-valve form.
  • Relieving pressure is set pressure × (1 + overpressure) + 14.7, in psia.
  • The result is rounded up to the next API 526 designation, D through T.

أين تتوقف عن الصحة

Sizing is downstream of the question that actually matters, which is the relief load. Fire case, blocked outlet, tube rupture, thermal expansion and control-valve failure each give a different required flow, and this tool takes whichever one you type as given — a valve sized perfectly for the wrong scenario protects nothing. The vapour equation also assumes critical flow and a conventional spring-loaded valve; balanced-bellows and pilot-operated valves have different back-pressure behaviour, and two-phase or flashing relief needs the API 520 Part I Appendix D method, which this does not implement.
