  • Restriction Orifice

    Dear friends,

    I need to depressurize a vessel containing natural gas at 270 barg. When sizing the Restriction Orifice ( downstream pressure 1 atm) I got the message that critical flow will occur and maximum pressure drop is 123 bar. I mention that before the Restriction Orifice the pipe class is 2500 # and after the RO is 150 #.Do I need to specify a higher pipe class because of the downstream pressure calculated by the program (147 bar) ?

    Thank you for your help!

      are you suppose to depressurising down to 6.9 barg, according to API 521.....and then to atm.

      Hello Padua,

      You mean to imply that pressure ratio limitation is to be followed. Ratio of 271 bara to 7.9 bara is 34.3, but 7.9 bara ti atm is 7.9.
      Can you please explain further.

      Thanks for your time
