5 What is CDTP?
Cold differential test pressure (CDTP) is defined in standard
- DIN EN ISO 4126-1 Edition 2004, Chapter 3.2.5

- ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 1, Edition 2010, UG 136 (d) 4
- API 520-1 8. Edition 2008, Chapter 3.4.1
- ASME PTC 25 - 2008 Chapter 2.7
CDTP is used if correction of set pressure of safety valves according to deviation of

service conditions is necessary.
Auszug aus ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 1, UG 136 (d) 4:

When a valve is adjusted to correct for service conditions of superimposed back pressure, temperature, or the differential
in popping pressure between steam and air, the actual test pressure (cold differential test pressure) shall be marked on
the valve per 129

ANMERKUNG Dieser Druck schliet Korrekturen fr Betriebsbedingungen, z. B. Gegendruck und/oder Temperatur, ein.
Auszug aus API 520 Kapitel 3.13:

Cold differential test pressure
The pressure at which a pressure relief valve is adjusted to open on the test stand. The cold differential test pressure
includes corrections for the service conditions of backpressure or temperature or both.
Auszug aus API 520 Kapitel 4.2.3:

The actual service conditions under which a pressure relief valve is required to open, may be different form the
conditions at which the pressure relief valve is set to operate on a test stand. To compensate for this effect, a CDTP is
specified for adjusting the set pressure of the valve on the test stand. The CDTP may include a correction for actual
service conditions of back pressure and/or temperature.
Auszug aus ASME PTC 25-2008 Kapitel 2.7:

the inlet static pressure at which a pressure relief valve is adjusted to open on the test stand. This test pressure includes
corrections for service conditions of superimposed back pressure and/ or temperature.
6 What is CDTP-correction?
The CDTP-correction is the correction of set pressure at test bench condition to achieve
the correct set pressure at service condition.
7 Which influences on safety valves are covered with the setting at CDTP ?
The set pressure on test bench deviating from service condition is influence by:
- temperature
- superimposed back pressure
Basically effects at the setting by:

- set pressure tolerance
- medium
The CDTP covers only influences of superimposed back pressure and/or temperature.

8 How is the CDTP-correction calculated?

The CDTP-correction is provided by the manufacturer. LESER has done measurements
on steam test laboratory at high temperature service conditions. These measurements
have been monitored and ploted as curve which was approved by German TV Nord.
In case of superimposed back pressure and temperature the corrected set pressure is
calculated with formula. This formula is valid for conventional or balanced bellows design.
The term ( pset pa ) considers influences of superimposed backpressure.
The factor kT covers influences of temperature.

9 How does LESER set the safety valves depending on different service condition
with temperature and back pressure??
LESER has made steam tests on LESER test laboratory. These measurements have been
monitored, evaluated and processed into a correction curve. This curve was approved by
German TV Nord to be a adequate practible procedure to correct set pressure to cold
differential test pressure concerning deviation of service conditions. The original
confirmation of TV Nord and a englisch translation is attached in chapter 9.
Please note, that for gas service the setting is defined as first audible discharge. For full
opening of valve pls. add another 10%.

10 How is the influence of balanced bellows?

10.1 How is the influence of balanced bellows in general for safety valve?
The stainless steel bellows protects the upper area of safety valve against temperature
and compensates backpressure. The medium could not be in contact with the spring. This
avoids changes of mechanical properties of spring material and influences on the setting.
This effect is valid until limits of spring material.
Conventional design: Balanced bellows design:
Figure 3: Figure 4: protected
10.2 How is the influence of balanced bellows in case of type 459 / 462 safety valves?
For these two types the different discharge diameter do= 9, 13 and 17,5 mm have
influence to the correction of CDTP. This is based on the design of balanced bellows. The
same stainless steel bellows is implemented in all three dos. The effective area of do =
13mm design is equal to the balancing area of stainless steel bellows. A correction for
differing effective areas (do = 9 mm and do = 17,5 mm) of seat area and balancing area
have to be considered with the additional correction factor kaf .

11 How does an open/closed bonnet influences the CDTP?

The bonnet design could be open or closed design.

Closed Design:
protected
Figure 5: Figure 6:
Open design is recommended for application which are not harmfull for environment.
Closed design is recommended for application with higher safety aspects. This has to be
preselected by customer.
The open bonnet design allows higher temperature of medium because of cooling effect
with free circulation of air. The temperature increase in comparison to closed bonnet
design is smaller. The correction factor is listed in table 1.

12 How does the spring material influences the CDTP?

Service condition: pset = 10barg (145 psig), pa = 0barg, t = 320C ( 608F), Steam
pcdtp ( p set p a ) * kT
kT: according to equation (3) in chapter 3:

kT = 1,025
pa = 0, because of no backpressure
pcdtp = 10 barg * 1,025 = 10,25 barg (148,66 psig)
Set pressure tolerance: 03%
pcdtpmin = 10,25 barg +0,00*10,25 barg = 10,25 barg (148,66 psig)


15.2 Example: Temperature and constant backpressure influence

Design: Type 459 do = 9mm, closed bonnet, balanced bellows
Service condition: pset = 50barg (725 psig), pa = 5barg (72,5 psig), t = 400C ( 752F), Air
pcdtp ( pset * kaf ) * kT

kT = 1,013
kaf: According to diagram 1 in chapter 5.1:
kaf = 1,029

pcdtp = 50 barg * 1,029 * 1,013= 52,12 barg (755,74 psig)

Service condition: pset = 10barg (145 psig), pa = 0 1,5 barg, t = 320C ( 608F), air

pa = 1,5 barg, because of conventional design and worst case situation

Translation by LESER:
Dear Mr. Stremme,
We think it is a realistic way to consider the temperature at the Cold Differential Test Pressure of
safety valves according to the enclosed diagram.
The multiplication factor for the Cold Differential Test Pressure at the operating temperature is
given by the enclosed diagram.
This procedure will be applied only if the customer states it explicitly and annotated this on the
column further manufacturers instructions.

17 CDTP for POSV

(separate chapter beside spring loaded safety valve)
Which influences on safety valves are covered with the setting at CDTP ?
The set pressure on test bench deviating from service condition is influence by:
- Temperature
-
Basically effects at the setting by:
- set pressure tolerance
- medium
The CDTP covers only influences of temperature. The superimposed back pressure does
not affect the set pressure, because it is completely balanced design

18 How is the CDTP-correction calculated?
The calculation is based on pressure testing under temperature of POSV. The result have
been curves which are composed in formulas.
This formula is as follows:
y = 1+ (((0,0294*operating temp.) - 0,5591)/100)
Formula for Pop Action with boarders: > 3 bar and > 100C.
Formula for Modulate Action with boarders: >3 bar and < -20C or > 100C.

How the design of pilot control has influence on the CDTP?

The pressure chambers in the Pop Action Pilot are sealed with soft sealing discs. Above
temperatures of 100C the effective area of o-ring geometrie is influence. The result is a
deviation of set pressure.
protected
The Modulate Action Pilot design is based on several soft sealings to tighten the pressure
chambers. If temperature is lower than -20C or higher than 100C the effective area of o-
ring geometrie is influence. The result is a deviation of set pressure.

In which documents you will find the CDTP-value?

kT: according to equation (3) in chapter 3:

pcdtp = 10 barg * 1,025 = 10,25 barg (148,66 psig)

Set pressure tolerance: 03%

pcdtpmin = 10,25 barg +0,00*10,25 barg = 10,25 barg (148,66 psig)

15.2 Example: Temperature and constant backpressure influence

pcdtp ( pset * kaf ) * kT

kaf (d0=17.5 mm) = 7,78E-5(p af /p100%)-7,8332E-3(p af /p100%)+0,998

p cdtp = (1+ (((0,0294operating temp.) - 0,5591)/100))pset
