We are in the process of performing a thermal relief valve calculation and have found no good reference to check the calc. Can anyone provide general equations and a reference for this?

Thanks

API 521, Guide for Pressure Relieving and Depressuring Systems.
 
Also the ASME Code,both Section III and Section VIII have articles dealing with sizing of relief valves (Section III, Division 1, Articles NB-7000, NC-7000 and ND-7000 "Overpressure Protection" and Section VIII, Parts UG 125 - 137 "Overpressure Protection")
