Vent locations

[roadwhore75]

I've already done some research but I can't find anything specific. I am looking for standards regarding steam vents. I have a relief valve with a discharge line about 35-ft in the air. I found a vague reference in OSHA regarding insulation and distance from personnel access but nothing specific about condensate dripping causing a problem or specific requirements on the vent. One reference says 45 degree cut, vertical, straight into the air. That's about all. Does anyone have any specific reference?

whore...

Try Appendix II in ASME B31.1.

What is your task..?? are you designing/routing pipe?

If your steam system is of modest pressure (~100 psig)then a detailed stress anayis is not necessary, but if you are designing a vent for a higher pressure system, a detailed analysis, IMHO, is necessary.

Try posting in the piping forum....
