When multiple pressure relief valves are used in parallel, one valve should be set at or below the MAWP and the remaining valve(s) may be set up to 5% over the MAWP. When sizing for multiple valve applications, the total required relief area is calculated on an overpressure of 16% or 4 psi, whichever is greater.

Take differential pressure in running line and safety valve set pressure (∆P). We already have valve disk area from which we can calculate the force which we have to apply to operate the safety valve. F=∆P/A. Where, F = Pulled Force ∆P = Differential pressure A= Valve Disk Area. Procedure

As we all know PRV set pressure should be determined based on the design pressure or MAWP of the protected items. But my question is whether the above saying is a general guideline or there are specific guidelines for determining the PSV set pressure applied to protect sepcific items such as pressure vessel, piping fired vessel and so on.

As said above, the purpose of the MAOP and pressure setting of the "safety valve" is to protect the vessel itself and any directly connected components, not act as any sort of operational control hence the wording in the code. My motto: Learn something new every day. Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way.

10/8 · In a Spring loaded Pressure Safety Valve the closing force or spring force is applied by a helical spring which is compressed by an adjusting screw. The spring force is transferred via the spindle onto the disc. The disc seals against the nozzle as long as the spring force is larger than the force created by the pressure at the inlet of the valve.

This percentage is referred to as blowdown, and will typically range anywhere from 4% to 10% depending on the applicable code. — Determining set pressure is just one thing you need to determine when you're specifying a pressure relief or safety valve.

5/28 · He asks for comments on setting multiple valves at the same pressure versus utilizing the permissible option to staggering the set pressures. API 520, parts I and II, are silent on that point. Staggering of the set pressure is indeed permitted, and it's a good idea, but API 520 doesn't say that it should or shouldn't be done.
