 PSV-002
1) Which equation is used? VL = 50 GPM
G = 1.00
VL G K = 0.65 (API Liquid)
A Kw = 1.0 (DISCUSSION)
38 KKW KV PA  PB Kv = 1.0 (Why?)
PA = Pset + Pover – Ploss
= 225 + 22.5 – 0
= 247.5 psig
PB = Pback
= 45 psig
2) Calculate Area, in2 A = 0.142 in2

3) Check Kv Assumption:
A = 0.196 in2
2800GVL
R R = 175682
 A' Kv = 1.0
