Advanced Pressure Relief Devices
- Pressure relief devices (PRDs) are critical safety components that protect boilers, pressure vessels, piping and tanks from overpressure and potential explosions or collapse. Proper design, installation, and maintenance ensure the safety and integrity of pressurized systems. Proper PRD design and application are essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of pressurized equipment.
- This course offers a comprehensive review of the current practices for designing, constructing, installing, operating, inspecting, and maintaining PRDs. Participants learn code requirements and best industry practices to prevent equipment from exceeding its maximum allowed pressures.
Learning Outcomes
- Summarize the requirements of the API 520/521 and 2000 Standards
- Explain the operation of the different relief valves and rupture disks and the limitations of each
- List the many causes of overpressure and state how to identify them
- Recall the relief flow requirements and detail how to calculate flow rates for proper sizing
- Recognize proper sizing, selection, and installation of PRDs
- Appreciate the importance and requirements of sizing documentation
- Summarize the application of good engineering judgement as it relates to the infamous “3% Rule” and relief valve stability
- Evaluate your facility’s compliance with OSHA and RAGAGEP requirements
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
