PSV Capacity Conversion

The document describes converting the capacity of a pressure safety valve from air to gas/vapor and from steam to gas/vapor. The certified capacity of 3020 lb/h of air or steam at 200 psig is multiplied by a C factor of 356 to determine the equivalent gas/vapor capacity of 4749 lb/h, based on the gas properties and temperature provided.

PRESSURE SAFETY VALVE CAPACITY CONVERSION

(According to ASME Section VIII, Div.1, Appendix 11)

Capcity conversion from air to gas/vapour

Certified capacity = 3020 lb/h of air @ 60 °F


Set pressure = 200 psig

Gas/Vapour M.W = 28.97


Gas compressibility factor = 1
Gas Cp/Cp-R = 1.4
Gas/Vapour Temperature = 100 °F

C factor = 356
Equivalent gas/vapor capacity = 4749 lb/h of gas/vapour
