1. Free Draining Inlet Piping in Safety Valve piping system
According to safety valve/blowdown system piping guidelines, what is recommended for the inlet piping to the pressure safety valve?
Explanation: The inlet piping to the pressure safety valve should be free draining to the line or equipment it protects.
2. Discharge Piping Elevation
How high above the highest platform should discharge piping from pressure safety valves on inert gas or steam systems terminate?
Explanation: Discharge piping should terminate at least 8 feet (2.5m) above the highest platform within a horizontal radius of 25 feet (8 m).
3. Safety Valve Discharge to Flare System
What is the recommended configuration for safety valve discharge piping that relieves into a flare system?
Explanation: Safety valve discharge piping into a flare system should free drain to the flare header and discharge to the top of the header.
4. Location of Pressure Relief Valves (PSV)
Where should pressure relief valves relieving to a closed flare header be located?
Explanation: Pressure relief valves relieving to a closed flare header shall be located above the header and be free-draining.
5. Inlet Line Size and Safety Valve Inlet Size
What is recommended when the inlet line size is higher than the safety valve inlet size?
Explanation: Wherever the inlet line size is higher than the safety valve inlet size, a reducer shall be installed close to the inlet of the safety valve.
6. Weep Hole for Relief Valve Discharge
What is the purpose of a weep hole in relief valve discharge piping for steam, air, or other non-flammable vapor or gas?
Explanation: Relief valve discharge piping for steam, air, or other non-flammable vapor or gas shall be equipped with a weep hole to allow drainage and prevent liquid accumulation.
7. Liquid-Phase Blow Down System Piping
What is the requirement for liquid-phase blow down system piping connected to a closed system?
Explanation: Liquid-phase blow down system piping connected to a closed system shall be self-draining to the blow down drum.
8. Pockets in Flare Header and Blow Down System
According to safety valve/blowdown system piping guidelines, what is prohibited?
Explanation: Pockets in the flare header and blow down system shall be prohibited according to safety valve/blowdown system piping guidelines.
9. Relief Valve Discharge to Atmosphere
What considerations should be taken when the relief valve is discharging to atmosphere?
Explanation: In case the relief valve is discharging to atmosphere, considerations include adequate support, reaction forces, and compliance with API RP 520.
