For designs where the lift is used to determine the low area, all valves shall hhave the same nominal li-to-seat diameter ratio (L4D). (5) The coelficient shall not be applied to direct spring loaded valves with springs that do not meet the requirements of UG-1364a)(2). (6) For direct spring loaded valves the results may be extrapolated to valves with set pressures higher that the highest set pressure used in the capacity certification tests if the spring inthe valve withthe higher set pressure meets the requirements of UG-1364a)2). (7) For digect spring loaded valves the results may bbe extrapolated to valves lager or smaller than the valves ‘used in the capacity certification tests providing all dimen- sions of the flow path and all dimensions of the pars that, cen affet the overall thrust exercised by the medium on the moving pans are sealed with the coresponding dimen sions of the valves used in the capacity certification testing, (), Tests shall be conducted ata place where the testing ‘aciltes, methods, procedures, and person supervising the tests (Authorized Observer) meet the applicable require- rents of ASME PTC 25. The tests shall be mude under the supervision of and certified by an Authorized Observer. The testing Facilities, methods, procedures, and quali tions of the Authorized Observer shall he subject to the accoptance ofthe ASME on recommendation ofa represen- tative from an ASME designated organization. Acceptance of the testing Faciity is subject to review within each 5 ‘year periodINDEX 5.0 SAFETY VALVES FOR PRESSURE VESSELS (Section Vill, Divisions 1 & 2) BA 52 Coefficient Method Formula: For Steam: for nozzle, W= (61.5 APK) {or fat seat W = (61.5nD LP) for 45° seat.
