DESCRIPTION:
Very useful book Very happy with "The Safety Relief Valve Handbook ."Practical information on valve operation, and installation. The author provides methods for calculations (I was specifically looking at inlet and outlet piping size). Calculation sources are well cited (which codes are applicable).. William B. said Great Reference for the Engineer. Since I size PSVs for my job, I found this book extremely helpful at times and a good reference for engineers.
A single source means users save time in searching for specific information about safety valves.• The Safety Valve Handbook contains all of the vital technical and standards information relating to safety valves used in the process industry for positive pressure applications.• Explains technical issues of safety valve operation in detail, including identification of benefits and pitfalls of current valve technologies.• Enables informed and creative decision making in the selection and use of safety valves.• The Handbook is unique in addressing both US and European codes:- covers all devices subject to the ASME VIII and European PED (pressure equipment directive) codes;- covers the safety valve recommendations of the API (American Petroleum Institute);- covers the safety valve recommendations of the European Normalisation Committees;- covers the latest NACE and ATEX codes;- enables readers to interpret and understand codes in practice.• Extensive and detailed illustrations and graphics provide clear guidance and explanation of technical material, in order to help users of a wide range of experience and background (as those in this field tend to have) to understand these devices and their applications.• Covers calculating valves for two-phase flow according to
