    This document provides calculations for relief valve forces for an open or closed gas/vapour system. It includes nomenclature for variables used in the calculations such as orifice area, set pressure, inlet and exit temperatures, discharge rate, molecular weight, gas constant, and acceleration due to gravity. A table provides orifice areas in both inch squared and mm squared. The main calculation applies to subcritical flow, while an alternative method is provided for when the apparent gas velocity exceeds the sonic velocity. Example calculations are shown for relief valve forces of 9875N, 4524N, and 7572N. Instructions note that the number of working valves refers to those operating simultaneously, and to only add data to highlighted

    The document discusses relief valve sizing calculations and provides information on parameters like set pressure, exit temperature, molecular weight, discharge rate, orifice area, and flow equations.

    The document is discussing relief valve sizing calculations for gas/vapour systems. It provides parameters for calculating relief valve flow rates and forces.

    Page 2 provides notes to the user regarding things like only counting working valves, only adding data to highlighted cells, and obtaining input data from the relief valve datasheet.
