SCENARIO A: BLOCKED OUTLET CASE (HP REFORMER GAS) B

STEP 1: DETERMINATION OF CRITICAL / SUBCRITICAL FLOW

Nomenclature:
INPUT
PSP Set Pressure (kPa) = 1196 kPag = 1297.74 kPa 12.20 kg/cm2g
PO Over Pressure (kPa) = 10% of PSP = 10.00
PRP Relieving Pressure (kPa) = 1,417.38 kPa
PB Back Pressure (kPa) = 111.13 kPa 0.10 kg/cm2g
P Operating Pressure (kPa) = 375.91 kPa 2.80 kg/cm2g
T Operating Temperature (K) = 35.00 °C = 308.00 K 35.00 °C
k Sp.heat Ratio = 1.36 1.36
M Molecular Weight = 5.2 5.2
Z Compresibility factor = 1.005 1.005

Sizing Formulae:

PRP = PSP +PO

PCF/PRP = [2/k+1]k/k-1

Calculation:

PSP = 1,297.7 kPa

PRP = 1,417.4 kPa

PB = 111.1 kPa

T = 35.0 °C

Flow is critical / subcritical

From API - 520 ( Part - I)

PCF = 758.5 kPa

As PCF ≥ PB (Critical / Subcritical Flow Criterion)

Flow is Critical

STEP 2: DETERMINATION OF ORIFICE AREA & DESIGNATION OF 72-PSV-203 A/B

Nomenclature:

A Required effective discharge area of the device, sq.mm

W Required flow through the device, kg/hr
C Coefficient determined from an expression of the ratio of the 352.5003
specific heats(k=CP/CV) of the gas or vapor at inlet relieving
conditions.

Kd Effective coefficient of discharge. For preliminary sizing, use the 0.975

following values.

rupture disk in combination.
= 0.62 when a pressure relief values is not installed and
sizing is for a rupture disk in accordance with 3.11.1.2. of
API 520 - 1

PRP Upstream relieving pressure, kPaa. This is the set pressure plus the 1417.38 kPa
allowable overpressure plus atmospheric pressure.

Kb Capacity correction factor due to back pressure. This can be 1

obtained from the manufacturer’s literature or estimated for
preliminary sizing from Fig.30 (API-521 Part I). The back pressure
correction factor applies to balanced bellows valves only. For
conventional and pilot operated valves, use a value for Kb equal to
1.0

Kc Combination correction factor for installations with a rupture disk 1

upstream of the pressure relief valve (see 3.11.2).e pressure relief
valve (see 3.11.2).

= 1.0 when a rupture disk is not installed,

= 0.9 when a rupture disk is installed in combination with a pressure
relief valve and the combination dose not have a published valve

TRP Relieving temperature of the inlet gas or vapor, K ( oC + 273). 164.50 o

C

Z Compressibility factor for the deviation of the actual gas from a perfect 1.005
gas, a ratio evaluated at inlet relieving conditions.

M Molecular weight of the gas or vapor at inlet relieving conditions. 5.2

Sizing Formulae:

Calculation:

Mass Flow Rate (W) is:

W = 160 kg/hr Calculated Orifice Area 39.753 sq.mm
