Thread: How can i calibrate an security PV valve (Pressure & vacuum)

  1. How can i calibrate an security PV valve (Pressure & vacuum)

    Hi friends,

    I hope you can help me, I am working as an instrumentation engineer, son a client want´s we calibrate his Security pressure & vacuum valve, its a Varec, i will attach an image. So whats my problem i have the idea of how calibrate the pressure relief and i have an scheme of what could by ma test table, but i don't have any idea how can i calibrate the vacuum relief. This valve works on a tank with gasoline.

    As parameters i have:

    Max Press inside allowed(MAWP): 2.5psi
    Max Pres outside allowed(MAWV): 0.125psi

    Also the client wants we verify the relief capacity allowed (SCFH - of air).
    And we adjust the set point.

    first you must check upstream device code
    for example Tank/API 650 as below:

    1: this standard have a maximum/minimum range for vacuum and design pressure. check it.(Appendix F and Appendix V)
    2: this standard have to criteria that if you be below of them you don't need special Design.(Appendix F and Appendix V are special design)
    2.1: Internal pressure below weight of roof (you must know a plate with 5mm thickness have 50mmH2O pressure in 1 m2 according to metal density)
    2.2 : Normal operating external pressure Doesn't exceed 0.25 kPa

    you get sufficient data. design please.
