Hi,
I am an engineer from Sweden and I am used to working with swedish national standardization when it comes to overpressure protection. However I am now facing a case where I need to construct a safety valve installation according to the ASME code. When doing this, a question about the 110 %...
Yes waross, when determining the set pressure for the valve I would subtract the hydrostatic pressure as necessary to avoid obtaining a too high pressure in the lowest point of the tank. In the same way when evaluating the maximum pressure one would add the hydrostatic pressure to pressure at...
Thank you for your answer
however I have been working in the nuclear industry in Europe for many years, but not using the ASME code while its mostly used in the US. Also I am fully aware that Design Pressure and Relieving pressure are completely different. Furthermore in the example I gave the...
Dear all,
When sizing safety relief valves according to ASME III article 7000 NC/ND you can read the following article headings:
1. Expected system transients
2. Unexpected system transients
3. System faulted condition
The meaning of 1. is stated to be those transients associated with normal...
Dear all,
Here comes a rather strange question, at least to my impression!
I am currently working for a customer in Sweden, they want to implement ASME III 7000 for their nuclear applications when it comes to overpressure protection (this question is not specific to ASME III I guess, the...
