Safety relief valve capacity shall usually be determined on the basis of a superimposed
back pressure at the value no greater than
«10% of the valve set pressure for a conventional (non-balanced) :ype valve or,
«30% of the valve set pressure for a balance bellows type valve.
also, built-up back pressure up to 50% of the valve set pressure is allowed for a
balance bellows type valve.
Thermal relief valve shall be provided for liquid nes that can be blocked on and the
resultant increase in hydraulic pressure can occur due to heat inlet from external
sources such zs ambient temperature,
Sizing.
Q
