Dear Fellow Engineers,
I used to use the rated flow rate of the controlling relief scenario for PSV inlet and outlet line sizing. Now I was told to size the line based on the rated rates of all cases.
For example, I have a blocked outlet case which need an Orifice size M and a liquid overfilling case which needs an orifice size of D. However, I need to size the lines based on the rated capacity of Orifice Size M for liquid relief as well. Based on my calculations, the inlet line size is governed by the liquid relief.
Would you please share your practice for the PSV line sizing?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Leo
