    Pressure surge following a fast opening of a line size ball valve.

    Yes thank you, and you are right, with this being oxygen I'm also needing to consider the velocity doesn't exceed allowable velocity limits as a result of any of this in the oxygen pipework.

    Pressure surge following a fast opening of a line size ball valve.

    Thank you. I think this is what I was thinking, something akin to determining settle out pressure. My only concern was that its a relatively short length between the final xv and the burner tip and a significant volume upstream and weather that burst of pressure actually changes oxygen to the...

    Pressure surge following a fast opening of a line size ball valve.

    Thank you for your time and response on this. I think you are correct that it's probably a CFD evaluation required. I agree the effect would be miniscule however even a small amount of addtional oxygen at the burner would result in elevated flame temps and therefore increased pressure due to...

    Pressure surge following a fast opening of a line size ball valve.

    Sorry the upstream sentence isn't clear. I meat the gas it flowing and the section upstream of the XV is being pressurised from flat to 20bar. I've attached a sketch. It's a line with Oxygen from to a burner. I need to make sure there isn't an significant change in flow from the 10000Nm3/h...

    Pressure surge following a fast opening of a line size ball valve.

    I'm familiar with the equations used to determine the forces resulting from fast closure of a valve in liquid service, however, I'm trying determine the instantaneous flow of a gas when a quick opening valve opens. I'm pressuring the section upstream until I get a 1.0 bar differential over the...
