In the High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS), usually it is required to have a HIPPS valve that can close as fast as
possible (in general it is 2 second closing time). Where this requirement comes from? Why 2 second, 3 second, 4 secondetc?
First of all, the HIPPS it self is selected to protect the plant from excessive pressure due to blockage or any other possible cause.
This excessive pressure increasing is very fast thus the pressure source shall be cut in a fast way also by a HIPPS valve. How fast it
is? It depends on the mass ow rate from pressure source and the delta pressure of the operating and design pressure of the
plant downstream of the pressure source. If the mass ow rate is high and the delta pressure between operating and design
pressure of the plant is quite small, then the required time to cut the pressure source is faster than if the mass ow rate is slow
and the delta pressure is large. These rapid changes of pressure need to be calculated so that we get the required closing time of
HIPPS valve to cut the pressure source.
In order to calculate the pressure increasing per time, we can use an ideal gas equation as follow:

From above data, the pressure increasing can be calculated as follow:
Pressure increasing rate = (8.31441 * 360 * 239056404.5) /( 24*60) = 496903240 Pa/h
Pressure increasing rate = 72069.7 psi/h
Pressure increasing rate = 20.019 psi/second
