DESIGNBASISFORPSVINLETLINESIZING

[Ref.7.3.1GN44001]

FollowingarethedesignbasisforPSVinletlinesizing:

1. DATASOURCE:

a) PipeIDistakenasperschedulenumberfromBPPpipingspecifications.

b) Fluidpropertiesaretakenat97%ofPset,fromsimulation,forgoverningcaseofrespectivePSV.

c) Viscosityformixedphasestreamsistakenasphaseweightedviscosity.

d) EquivalentlengthforPSVinletlinesizingisevaluatedfromisometrics.

e) Flowrateforlinesizingistheratedcapacityofthepressurereliefvalve.

f) Inlet line size defined by PSV sizing sheet is as taken as minimum required line size, which is
checkedforPcriteria.
(Existing line size, incase smaller than PSV inlet flange is therefore not evaluated. Refer 2.b below)

2. CRITERIAFORSIZING

a) PSVInletlinePressuredrop

5%ofPset

GN 44-001 limit for inlet line losses is 7.0% while GP 44-70 value is 5.0%. In this report GP 44-70 value
is being used as advised in EPTG (Collin Dedis) clarification.
