What is PRV pop test? (Popping test)

PRV Testing – Pop Test;  “Pop Test” is a set pressure test of Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) by compressing the pressure into the inlet of PRV until Valve opens. The pressure that causes Valve to open (Pressure) will be compared with the Set pressure of the PRV to see how Valve open pressure on the set or not. See What is Set Pressure, and CDTP at shop test: What is Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP) PRV Testing – Pop Test Acceptance Criteria ASME VIII;  Acceptance Criteria for Pop Test or Set Pressure Test according to ASME Section VIII and Section … Continue reading What is PRV pop test?

What is Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP)

PRV – Cold Differential Test Pressure;  The Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP) of the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is a set pressure that is adjusted to be used for the PRV (Bench Testing). Because in actual use conditions, the PRV may be affected by the Backpressure. And the operating temperature. Therefore, when testing at room temperature and without backpressure, it is necessary to adjust the set pressure to compensate for these factors. In other words, the shop test pressure = CDTP. PRV – Cold Differential Test Pressure (Example 1);  An example of a Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP) with a backpressure (superimposed) effect. In this case, CDTP is equal to Set Pressure minus Backpressure. Refer to: What … Continue reading What is Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP)

Steam Trap – Thermostatic Disc Type

Steam Trap – Thermostatic Disc Type;  Steam Trap and Thermostatic Disc principle: Thermostatic of lifting the Disc – up – down to turn – off Valve. Steam Trap – Thermostatic Disc Working (HP/LP Steam); Operation ( open – closed ) of Steam Trap and Thermostatic Disc System High Pressure Steam/ Low Pressure Steam as below sample:     Continue reading Steam Trap – Thermostatic Disc Type

What is accumulation/ set pressure of PRV, PSV?

With referance to: Pressure Level Relationships chart Accumulation & Overpressure of PRV;  When the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is active ( open): -% of the excess pressure from the “system MAWP” is called “Accumulation” -% of the pressure beyond the “set pressure” of the PRV is called “Overpressure”   PRV – Maximum Set Pressure & Accumulation of the ASME Code;  According to ASME Code, Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) must have maximum Set Pressure and Accumulation not higher than the table (% MAWP) which will be divided into Nonfire Case and Fire Case for use in both PRV ( Single PRV) and … Continue reading What is accumulation/ set pressure of PRV, PSV?
