Hello,

 

Can anyone help me to find out the constant back pressure of Rupture Disk of the following system?

If I am not wrong, I guess it will be 1 barg.

Hi,

 

It is normally 0 barg which can be monitored by a PG to check about the leakage occurrence. But, as a RD is a differential pressure device, if it's intended to be 1 barg it should be considered in its burst pressure...

If I think that before the installation of PSV, the back pressure that has been experienced by the RD is from the K.O. drum and constant.

If then I install PSV, fluid that have been trapped inside pipeline of length h, will provide the same back pressure as before to the RD.

That is how I came up with 1 barg.

It is true that during the installation of PSV, RD will expose to atmosphere and will have constant back pressure of 0 barg.

Thanks.
