Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4126-6:2003), which has been technically
revised.
The main technical modifications are:
a) Revision to Annex C to refer to Part 7 for capacity calculations;
b) Annex D was deleted as this information is found in Part 7;
c) Annex E was revised to include methodology for establishing flow resistance values for bursting
discs opened in incompressible fluid;
d) Annex F was added to include existing and additional guidelines for type testing;
e) Annex G was added to provide a place for informative information relative to bursting disc tolerances
and operating parameters.
ISO 4126 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety devices for protection against
excessive pressure:
— Part 1: Safety valves
— Part 2: Bursting disc safety devices
— Part 3: Safety valves and bursting disc safety devices in combination
— Part 4: Pilot operated safety valves

Introduction
Safety devices for the protection of pressure equipment against excessive pressure include pressure relief
devices such as safety valves and bursting disc safety devices which, dependent upon the application,
may be used either as the sole pressure relieving devices or in conjunction with each other.
Operating problems frequently arise due to the use of pressure relieving devices not having been
properly selected for the intended service or properly selected but whose performance is adversely
affected by improper handling, wrong installation or lack of maintenance, any of which may affect the
safety of the pressure equipment being pr
