Equation Used to Size Safety Relief Valve

P1 = Pset + Poverpressure + Patm

124.7 = 100.0 + 10.0 + 14.7

60 x Q x w TxZ
A =
K x C x P M

60 x 100 x 0.046 520 x 1

0.0403 =
0.87 x 344 x 124.7 17.4

A = 0.0403 in < 0.151 in D Orifice

K x C x P x A M
Q =
60 x w TxZ

0.87 x 344 x 124.7 x 0.151 17.4

374.75 =
60 x 0.046 520 x 1

Q = Required Flow Rate, scfm

w = Gas Density, lb/ft
K = Discharge Coefficient
C = Gas Constant as a function of cp/cv
P = Flowing Pressure, psia
Poverpressure = Allowable Overpressure typically 3psi or 10% of Set pressure, psig
Pset = Set Pressure, psig
Z = Compressiblility Factor
M = Molecular Weight
A = Required Area, in
A = Orifice Area, in
