Back to my original question! Are there any other options other than hydro vents?
A vent point will become a measurable emission point, maintenance item and other source of leaks (like also valves, pumps and gauges etc).
Other option considered is consider the system as a whole and therefore...
Given sch 40 stainless pipe of 1.5" diam has a burst pressure of approx 11,000 psi, but hydro vents set at ~400 psi, is the desing pressure rating of the pipe not sufficent alone to hold the expansion?
PS this is for an non refrigerated system
Just become involved in a new project utilising Anhydrous Ammonia, and my question relates to the potential to lock-in liquid ammonia between two valves and the potential for expansion.
To relive this it has been advised to use hydrostatic vents, but are there any other options?
Looking for some advice on Si analysis of biomass samples.
The results are showing to be lower than expected, with either looses due to poor on incomplete ashing. HF and microwave digestion, but suspected loss of Si as Silicon tetra fluoride loss during pressure release.
Others tested is HF...
