Title
Sizing, Selection, and Installation of Pressure-Relieving Devices in Refineries Part II - Installation
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 2003
Scope:
This recommended practice covers methods of installation for
pressure-relief devices for equipment
that has a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of 15 psig (1.03
bar g or 103 kPA) or greater.
Pressure-relief valves or rupture disks may be used independently or
in combination with each other
to provide the required protection against excessive pressure
accumulation. As used in this
recommended practice, the term pressure-relief valve includes safety
relief valves used in either
compressible or incompressible fluid service, and relief valves used
in incompressible fluid
service. This recommended practice covers gas, vapor, steam, two-phase
and incompressible fluid
service; it does not cover special applications that require unusual
installation considerations.
