1 REFERENCE
This note is in accordance with API 520 (Part I : Sizing and selections, 7th edition, January 2000) and API 526 (5th edition,
June 2002)

2 ASSUMPTIONS
Calculation are made only for single phase fluid (no mixed case).

3 DOMAIN OF VALIDITY
NA

4 GOAL
This workbook allows to :
- calculate relief flow rate for fire case (gas or liquid filled) and size the corresponding orifice,
- calculate liquid thermal expansion and size the corresponding orifice,

5 SCHEME
Kb coefficient is calculated with curves from API 520 pages 37 & 38.

Kd value of 0.96 for gas and 0.62 for liquid comes from a supplier (SAPAG).
It is recommended to use this value , even if API 520 allows 0.975 for gas and 0.65 for liquid to be homogeneous with the
choice of Kb and Kw calculation.

If "Out of range" appears with the orifice sizing, that means you need more than one safety valve according to API 526
classification.

Use Conventional type safety valve for constant back pressure (ie., if the safety valve discharges to a closed system
where the pressure is controlled) or with a variable (built up + superimposed) back pressure less than 10% of the set
pressure.

Use Balanced type safety valve for variable (built up + superimposed) back pressure higher than 10% of the set pressure
(variable back pressure must not exceed 50% of the set pressure).

Orifice size are given by API 526 :

8 NOTES ( based on API RP 521, fourth edition )


1) About fire case
The PSV is not the main protection against fire case (primary protection is ensured by fire fighting equipment
and by automatic relieving facilities), and the API recommendations do not specify the design temperatures of the PSV inlet and
outlet lines. It is therefore recommended (Technip recommendation) (unless other rules or standards are applicable), in order to
obtain a consistent design, to specify the PSV design temperature, as well as the inlet and outlet lines at the same value that
the vessel design temperature.
2)About Kb calculation
For set pressures below 50 psig or for subcritical flow, the manufacturer must be consulted for values of Kb
3)About isentropic coefficient
For real gas, the isentropic expansion coefficient is lower than cp/cv ratio. The difference is significant at gas saturation conditions.
Therefor, when a gas is at saturation conditions, the relief orifice has to be sized using isentropic expansion coefficient instead of cp/cv

& L. Van de Velde - Worksheet standardisation
This new release is a modification of the worksheet CalcPSV-v.3.0. developped by Evelyne Sigler. The
worksheet has been split in several ones in order to separate the different calculations (orifice sizing
for fire case for gas, orifice sizing for fire for liquid, liquid thermal expansion and orifice sizing).

-Correction of the gas flowrate calculation in the sheet "Gas-Filled"

V1.11 1/26/2005 L. Van de Velde Safetyvalve_V1.11


-Bugs Correction on columns 2, 3, 4, 5 in sheet "ORIFICE SIZING"

V1.2 9/23/2004 L. Van de Velde Safetyvalve_V1.2


-Height of flame is set at 25 ft as given in the API
-New alert messages in order to avoid typing mismatch

V1.3 9/28/2004 L. Van de Velde Safetyvalve_V1.3


-Creation of the sheet "Formulas" summurizing formulas used in each calculationsheet.
-Possibity to choose the heat absorption equation if there is adequate drainage or not.
-New alert messages in order to avoid typing mismatch
-Fomulas updating with the API 520 7th edition.
