This document provides calculations to size a pressure safety valve (PSV) for vapor or gas relief. It details process data including flow rate, temperature, pressure, and fluid properties. Calculations are shown to determine the upstream and critical back pressures, flow regime, discharge coefficient, required orifice area, selected orifice size, and preliminary PSV size. The PSV is sized to safely relieve a flow of 5400 kg/hr of vapor at 50C and 13 bar set pressure under fire relieving conditions.
