Hi George,
It is said that Oxygen can heat up the piping due to high velocity and can cause the metal to burn. Particle impingement can cause this heating as well.
I recently received training to this effect.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,
I have been tasked to size and specify End of the Line Flame Arrestors (FAs) to be installed on the vent line for Natural Gas and Oxygen pipe lines. The idea is to prevent an external flame from propagating into the Pipe line when it is purged with N2 gas. The purge gas is vented to the...
Hi Snickster,
I thank you very much for providing me a direction for the calculations. I will do these calculations and get back to you with results.
The momentum force should use the actual velocity not sonic velocity correct?. Can this be done?
Thank You.

Hi LI,
The silencer is to provided immediately downstream of the Control valve vendor, please see snapshot below for my model. The supports are being designed based on pipe stress calculations based on my input on the reaction force.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Goutam,
Apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Here are my responses.
1. It is open discharge with a vent pipe is located on a standard drip pan elbow arrangement.
2. The pressure drop in the silencer plates is 7.12 bar and I have assumed 0.5 bar for the piping. So it totals to...
Hi All,
I want to calculate the reaction force at the elbow exit(F1) and vent pipe exit(F3) for a Steam Vent Control Valve that has been sized to vent excess steam pressure. It has been sized to vent the full boiler load as the worst-case. At this flow (47000 kk/hr), the pressure upstream of...
Thank you very much Obturator. I will use 10% overpressure and refer to the EN12953-6 and 8 as you mentioned above. Also 10% overpressure means 10% back pressure is allowed correct?.
Thank you very much again.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan Kumar
Hi Obturator,
ASME Sec I -2019 Edn Pg 67 says that it allows an overpressure of 6%. I have heard 3% all along but the Code Says 6%. So the 6% is correct even for a single PSV installation correct?. Yes the PSV is installed in Sweden in EU.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan Kumar
Hi Obturator,
I apologize for not paying much attention to your earlier. I will make sure not to let this happen again. I am, asking this overpressure question as we need to calculate the back pressure of a Boiler PSV which has short bend and vent piping installed on it. I need to calculate...
Hi All,
I wanted to know the allowable overpressure for Electric Steam Boilers per ISO-4126. ASME Sec I allows a maximum overpressure of 6% of PSV Set pressure. I wanted to know what is per EN 12953, the boiler standard in Sweden.
Thanks ad Regards,
Pavan Kumar
