I've sized a PSV for two-phase flow (water/steam) and I've found the various isentropic mass fluxes. What I need to do now is find a maximum length for the inlet pipe with a pressure drop of 3% of the set pressure. It's a heater that uses hot water to supply heat and the scenario is abnormal...
Do the same standards apply to the allowable pressure drops to inlet and outlet piping for a rupture disc (alone, no PSV) as for a PSV? For instance, does the pressure drop going to the rupture disc still need to be within 3% of the burst pressure? And what about the discharge piping? Does...
