RELIABILITY TEST OF PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES FOR ORGANIC FLUIDS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4210106
Performance characteristics of commercially available pressure relief devices in liquid and vapor Santowax R, were determined. The standard relief valve was not suitable for orgranic service because the spring was exposed to the organic, thereby causing fouling which prevented proper valve action. The bellows-protected valve operated satisfactorily and is recommended for OMR Piqua. Standard Monel rupture discs were tested at 650 deg and failed prematurely. Rupture discs of Inconel metal were tested and performed satisfactorily and are recommended for OMR Piqua. (W. L. H.)
