    SRV under rupture disk

    I know of an application that does exist where the PD is in the outlet piping of the RV. It is on a ship where the valve vents to the hull of the ship, it is an ocean ship so there is concern of sea water entering the discharge piping so they have installed a monel RD on the outlet to protect...

    relief valve set pressure Q

    set pressure has to be at or below MAWP, it can not be greater than MAWP. Now accumulation pressure can be greater than MAWP. Just because a valve is set to pop at a given pressure doesn't mean that it is fully open at a set pressure. If a valve is set to open at 100 psig it is not fully open...

    Jalton, not always true that full nozzle valves are Sec.8 and Semi is Sec.1. Most Section 8 pilot valves are semi nozzle, because the pressure pick-up line with some manufactures is at th einlet so they use a semi nozzle on a pilot valve in ASME sec.8 service. Also not always true that Sec.1...
