I am working on the design of a test rig for a screw compressor and I have been looking into the use of a safety relief valve in our system. At the discharge side we are planning to have 2 control globe valves :
1 for controlling the bypass flow back into the suction side of the compressor

The project I'm working on involves designing the piping system for a reciprocating compressor test rig - only clean air will be used as the medium. For the compressor packages safety relief valves are used, however I am trying to see if there is any reason why a rupture disk cannot be used...
I have been tasked with designing the pipework for an in-house test rig of a compressor and the medium will always be air. I am struggling to find any guidance on the maximum allowable flow velocities within a pipe or what this would be based on. I understand that it's an act of balancing the...
