Publisher's Synopsis
This practical guide examines pressure relief system design, operation and maintenance. It covers the applicability to and reliability of different pressure relief devices to individual situations. It should help the engineer decide between different types of devices, particularly relief valves and rupture (or bursting) discs.;The methods used in defining total relief systems for specific total relief systems for specific situations are covered, these include: containment systems; common venting, flaring and blowdown; vent-side protection; access for maintenance; and instrumentation.
