Minimum and maximum set pressures may not be available in all orifice sizes (see AGCDS-0032 pages 1-4). How to Size a Valve Pressure relief valves are selected on the basis of their ability to meet an expected relieving condition and flowing a sufficient amount of fluid to prevent excessive pressure increase. This means that the size of the valve orifices must be calculated taking the required flow, lading fluid properties, and other factors into consideration. To select the minimum required orifice area that will flow the required capacity of the system you wish to protect, please refer to the following information, which appears in this section: 1. Sizing formulas 2. Physical properties of the fluid to be relieved 3. Capacities of different orifice areas at different pressures 4. Conversion tables to aid calculations Once you have determined the required orifice area for your service conditions, refer to Ordering, pages 18 through 44, to select a specific valve model number. Orifice Areas and Nozzle Coefficient The orifice areas and nozzle coefficients for all Series 80 valves are tabulated in the table below. These values are derived from the values certified by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, in accordance with Section VIII, Divisionž1 of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code. Verification of Sizing Orifice area calculations are made and/or verified whenever sufficient data is provided. If no data is furnished, the size selection responsibility will remain totally with the purchaser.

Factor K v is applied to correct the preliminary required discharge area. If the corrected area exceeds the chosen standard orifice area, the calculations should be repeated using the next larger standard orifice size. Determining K w See graph at right.

Inch-Pound Units ( acfm ) t cfm p 520 scfm = or x x Where: p = gauge pressure of gas or vapor in psig t = temperature of gas or vapor in F Metric Units p Nm 3 /hr = n 3 hr = x x t Where: p = gauge pressure of gas or vapor in barg t = temperature of gas or vapor in C s 1. M = Molecular weight of vapor or gas. 2. Volumetric flow (per time unit of hour or minute as shown) in standard cubic feet per minute at bara [14.7 psia], 16 C [60 F]. 3. Weight flow in pounds per hour. 4. Weight flow in kilograms per hour. 5. Volumetric flow (per time unit of hour or minute as shown) at bara 0 C [32 F]. This represents the commercial standard, known as the Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP). Conversions from one volumetric flow rate to another or to weight flow (and vice versa) may only be done when the volumetric flow is expressed in the standard conditions shown above. If flows are expressed at temperature or pressure bases that differ from those listed above, they must first be converted to the standard base.

Also expressed as kp/cm 2 and kgf/cm Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP) Conditions are, at sea level, equal to bara or kg/cm 2 (kilograms force per square centimeter absolute) at a base temperature of 32 F [0 C]. This differs slightly from Metric Standard Conditions (MSC), which uses bara 60 F [15 C] for the base temperature. 3. Inch-Pound Standard Conditions are, at sea level, equal to 14.7 psia (pounds force per square inch absolute), rounded up from psia, and at a base temperature of 16 C [60 F].
