"When an overpressure event occurs in the piping or facility, an automated on--off safety valve shuts down the system immediately. Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) are included in the design of processing facilities to protect assets such as piping and vessels by relieving system pressures during abnormal plant conditions. PSVs are safety-critical devices, and there may easily be hundreds of them installed on a plant depending on the size and complexity of same. In most countries, industries are legally required to protect pressure vessels and other equipment by using relief valves. Also, in most countries, equipment design codes such as those provided by the ASME, API and other organizations like ISO (ISO 4126) must be complied with. These codes include design standards for relief valves and schedules for periodic inspection and testing after valves have been removed by the company engineer"--
Comprehensive approach to designing safety valves used in oil and gas plants, featuring case studies throughout the text Safety Valves in Oil and Gas Plants delivers a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of safety valves in the oil and gas industries, including their design and accessories. To help reinforce learning, case studies included throughout the text and multiple-choice questions and answers are included at the end of each chapter. Written by an industry veteran with extensive publishing and speaking experience, this book includes information on: Design details such as sizing and reaction forces, inspection, maintenance, codes and standards, and packing and preservationDaily industrial challenges regarding the resizing of existing pressure safety valves (PSVs) or the proper sizing of new PSVsProcess safety standards for all new operative installations or existing ones in the chemical industryCatalysts that can increase the pressure of fluids, including human error and equipment and component failureThe role of safety valves in protecting properties, the environment, and human life This is an excellent reference on the subject for engineers and advanced students in chemical and process engineering, mechanical engineering, piping and valve engineering, and safety and instrument engineering.
