Stress Analysis of PSV/PRV Piping System in Caesar II

PSV or pressure safety valves (pressure relief valves) are a type of valve and are very common in any process industry. To protect any equipment from overpressure PSV systems are used in lines. When the pressure inside the system/equipment exceeds a pre-determined level (normally Set Pressure), they are activated automatically and release the pressure by popping up and bringing the equipment pressure to a safe operating level.

Two types of PSVs are extensively used in process industries:

• Open discharge PSV

• Closed discharge PSV

Due to an uncertain event if the pressure of any equipment becomes higher than the set pressure of the installed PSVs then they pop up and reduce the system pressure. During popping-up activity, the PSVs exert a huge reaction force over the system. During the analysis of PSV-connected stress systems, we have to consider this reaction force. This is the main reason that PSV-connected systems become stress-critical. The following course will explain the methods used during the analysis of such systems using Caesar II with a proper case study. So, what are you waiting for?
