Hello all,

Just wondering if any of you came across a good guidebook to properly size excess flow valves for Propane. Please share.

Thanks

What do you mean by excess flow valve?

A valve designed to limit or seal off a gaseous propane line if there is too much flow?

Something like this

https://www.bisvalves.co.uk/products/excess-flow-valves/

or this

https://www.cascadeplc.co.uk/sentrygsflowvalves.html

- the pdf in this link looks very useful

Excess flow check valves have been around for many decades..

AIChE has published this article on sizing:

..... and this article also contains some general industry rules on operation, selection and sizing
