P S V or RUPTURE DISC SIMPLIFIED REACTION CALCULATION
(Ref. 000.250.1203 "Pressure Safety Valve Reactions")
F
F = REACTION FORCE OF PSV or RUPTURE DISC; (LBS)
F(psv) = 0.6 (Ko + 1) A P
F(rupture disc) = 0.378 (Ko + 1) A P

where:
Ko = RATIO OF SPECIFIC HEATS; (Cp/Cv)
A = ORIFICE AREA OF VALVE OR DISC; (IN^2)
P = INLET PRESSURE AT TIME OF OPENING; (PSIA)
(SET PRESSURE PLUS 14.7)

P S V REACTION FORCES with OPEN DISCHARGE SYSTEMS
(REF. ASME B31.1, APPENDIX II, SECTION 2.3 & SECTION 7.0)

F1 = REACTION FORCE; (lbf) at point 1, (due to steady state

flow including both momentum and pressure effects)
F1
Point 1 = (W / gc) * V1 + (P1 - Pa) * A1

where:
W = MASS FLOW RATE (relieving capacity stamped on
the valve X 1.11); (lbm/sec)
gc = GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT
= (32.2 lbm-ft)/(lbf-sec^2)
V1 = EXIT VELOCITY AT POINT 1; (ft/sec)
P1 = STATIC PRESSURE AT POINT 1; (psia)
Pa = ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE; (psia)
A1 = EXIT FLOW AREA AT POINT 1; (in^2)

NOTE: A DYNAMIC LOAD FACTOR (DLF) SHOULD BE APPLIED to insure

consideration of the effects of the suddenly applied load (F).
