Hi All,
I am asked to calculate the Back Pressure on a PSV installed on Electric Boiler. The PSV is sized per ISO-4126 Part 7. I understood the back pressure in the discharge line is as per ISO-4216 Part 9. I do not have access to this standard, I wanted to know from you if you know what is allowable back pressure on Conventional, Balanced Bellows and Pilot Operated PSVs per this Code. I know it is 10% per API 521 Part II for Conventional PSVs, up to 50% for Balanced Bellows.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan Kumar
