Dear All,

I would like to seek your views on the following:

- Requirement for full bore isolation valves at PSV inlet.. ASME SEC VIII recommends them to be full bore by stating'' full area stop valves'' . While API 520 Part II removed this requirement in its latest revision.
- Requirement for FB isolation valves downstream the PSV
- Requirement for full bore isolation valves downstream the restriction orifice which is on emergency blowdown valves.

Thanks

Regards,

My two cents:

 

The reason for using Full Bore valve for isolation of PSV

 

1) Low pressure drop

 

2) Allows no liquid pocket formation in the piping
