ASME Boiler Code Pressure Vessel Vent Relief Valve Sizing

[MM904]

Hello,

I am attempting to purchase ASME boiler plate stamped pressure vessels for use in testing operations that require HTP (high concentration test hydrogen peroxide, up to 98% w/o). All the sources I have found discuss vent relief sizing for large storage containers, but the sizes of these tanks fall in between that of a typical lab setup of ~ 1 gallon and the drum sizing of ~30 gallons.

The propellant is not to be stored long-term, a few weeks at most. I can add additional information as necessary, but in general the hold-up on our tank design is the sizing of the vent relief valve. Because hydrogen peroxide decomposes continuously, I am having trouble sizing the relief valve appropriately. If anyone has experience with pressure vessel design for high concentration H202 and could provide suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

MM904, don't know if this is still an issue for you or not, but you'd be better off in the Relief Valve forum.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
