Calculating Relief Load for A PSV
Ashereng is correct. You do not credit the equipment "trip" unless it is as reliable as the PSV itself, i.e. redundant switches or a triconex type safety system. Will this valve also protect the separator? If so, have you evaluated the fire case? If blocked outlet is the limiting...- mark06

Predicting chattering
(1) built up backpressure too high. 10% of set pressure for a conventional valve, 30% (i think) for a balanced valve. (2) Inlet pressure drop too high. 3% of set pressure in hydraulic losses for a conventional or bellows valves. Inlet pressure drop does not affect remote sensed pilot...- mark06
