Dear all,

Sometime I found that rated data for SV or RV are depending on over pressure 3%,5%,10% even 25%. which one is correct for process design?

Do you mean rated flow through PSV?

Required flow through PSV depends on allowable overpressure and increases with increasing the overpressure.

Rated flow through PSV would be specified based on next existed orifice size higher than that calculated for required flow.

You can read API RP 520 part 1 on figure 1, Pressure-level relationship for ressure relief Valve, for detailed..,
here are some a little description:
121% is maximum allowable accumulate pressure (fire exposure only)
116% is maximum allowable accumulate pressure for multiple valve installation (other than fire exposure)
110% is maximum allowable accumulate pressure for single valve installation (other than fire exposure)

Required flow through PSV depends on allowable overpressure and increases with increasing the overpressure.

Not always. It depends on the scenario.

Dear all,

For example, if the design pressure of vessel is 25kg/cm2.G, can I set the relief pressure at 22kg/cm2.G then to calculate the venting area and capacity for PSV or RV??

Of course You can set like that with the consequence of the relief valve is chattering (frequently open/close). Setting of relieve pressure normally above the design pressure and depend on the scenario which are cause the overpressure.
Blocked outlet and fire case ae different in set pressure, rite?
*Design pressure similar with MAWP.

How to calculate area of this relief valve?
many equation exist to calculate the relief area (liquid and gas have different equation).
