    Cubical Expansion Coefficient for Themal Expansion Calculations

    I agree that the thermal relief rate will not drastically affect valve sizing. However, the required relief rate is directly proportional to the cubical expansion coefficient. Q = (B*H)/(500*G*C) API 521 where Q= Thermal relief rate, B = cubical expansion coefficient, H= heat transfer rate...

    Cubical Expansion Coefficient for Themal Expansion Calculations

    I am currently sizing a PSV which is situated on the discharge of a heat exchanger. The relieving fluid is cooling medium i.e. 75%potable water/25% MEG. Based on API standards, I have sized a rupture disc to prevent against tube rupture and process gas breakthrough. Therefore,the only credible...
