    Thanks mk3223, Unfortunately, the source vessel is a tanker which is why I intended on routing the PSV discharge to the pump suction, rather than back to the tanker barrel. Please can you explain what you mean by "balanced out"? Wouldn't the pressure at the pump suction be the same in this...

    Thank you very much for both of your responses. I have already carried out the steps that you have advised in your responses. But after doing so I began to think, what happens as the relief valve begins to lift and flow begins. The pump is now in a closed loop and the pump suction pressure =...

    Thank you very much for both of your responses. I have already carried out the steps outlined above but I then started to think, what happens when flow begins as the relief valve begins to lift. The pump is now in a closed loop and the static head from the tanker is no longer relevant. The pump...

    A new centrifugal pump has been installed which is capable of exceeding the pipework's design pressure when the discharge is blocked. The client would like a relief valve to be installed on the discharge of the pump which relieves to the suction side of the pump. I am trying to determine what...
