Safety Valves in Saturated Steam Systems

Calculate relief valves in saturated steam systems

Sponsored Links

The minimum discharge area of relief safety valves in steam systems can be calculated with the equation

A = m / (51.5 kd kbp P1/2)         (1)

where

A = minimum discharge area (Square Inches)

m = relieving capacity (Lbs. per Hour)

kd = discharge coefficient - 0.975

kbp = back pressure coefficient - 1.0 for atmospheric discharge systems

P = relieving pressure (psia) - set pressure (psig) + over pressure (psig) + atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia)
