Safety devices for protection against excessive pressure - Part 7: Common data (ISO 4126-7:2013)

This Part of ISO 4126 contains information which is common to Parts 1 through 6 of ISO 4126 to avoid unnecessary repetition. The user is cautioned that it is not recommended to use the ideal gas formula presented in clause 6.3 when the relieving temperature is greater than 90 % of the thermodynamic critical temperature and the relieving pressure is greater than 50% of the thermodynamic critical pressure. Additionally, condensation is not considered. If condensation occurs, the method presented in clause 6.3 should not be used.

Ta del standarda ISO 4126 vsebuje informacije, ki so enake za dele od 1 do 6 standarda ISO 4126, da se ne ponavljajo brez potrebe. Uporabnika opozarjamo, da ni priporočena uporaba formule idealnega plina iz točke 6.3, ko je temperatura za razbremenitev večja od 90 % termodinamične kritične temperature in tlak za razbremenitev večji od 50 % termodinamičnega kritičnega tlaka. Poleg tega se kondenzacija ne upošteva. Če pride do kondenzacije, se metoda iz točke 6.3 ne sme uporabiti.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4126-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 185, Safety devices for protection against
excessive pressure.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4126-7:2004), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 4126-7:2004/Cor.1:2006.
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
— Part 5: Controlled safety pressure relief systems (CSPRS)
— Part 6: Application, selection and installation of bursting disc safety devices
— Part 7: Common data
— Part 9: Application and installation of safety devices excluding stand-alone bursting disc safety devices
— Part 10: Sizing of safety valves for gas/liquid two-phase flow

Part 7:
Common data
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4126 specifies requirements for safety valves. It contains information which is common
to ISO 4126-1 to ISO 4126-6 to avoid unnecessary repetition.
For flashing liquids or two-phase mixtures, see ISO 4126-10.
The user is cautioned that it is not recommended to use the ideal gas formula presented in 6.3 when the
relieving temperature is greater than 90 % of the thermodynamic critical temperature and the relieving
pressure is greater than 50 % of the thermodynamic critical pressure. Additionally, condensation is not
considered. If condensation occurs, the method presented in 6.3 should not be used.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4126-1, ISO 4126-2, ISO 4126-4
ISO 4126-5 and the following apply.
5
NOTE Pressure unit used in ISO 4126-7 is the bar (1 bar = 10 Pa), quoted as gauge (relative to atmospheric
pressure) or absolute as appropriate.
3.1
safety valve
valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the fluid concerned,
discharges a quantity of the fluid so as to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and
which is designed to re-close and prevent further flow of fluid after normal pressure conditions of
service have been restored
Note 1 to entry: The valve can be characterized either by pop action (rapid opening) or by opening in proportion
(not necessarily linear) to the increase in pressure over the set pressure. The use of the term safety valve in this
part of ISO 4126 applies to other valve types as covered in ISO 4126-1, ISO 4126-4 and ISO 4126-5.

as the downstream pressure is decreased to the critical pressure, until critical flow is achieved. Further

dr
the coefficient of discharge K determined by test:
d
KK≤ 09, (16)
dr d
It is not permitted to calculate the capacity with a lower overpressure than that at which the tests to
determine flow characteristics were carried out although it is permissible to calculate the capacity at a
higher relieving pressure.
Valves having a certified de-rated coefficient of discharge established on critical flow at the test back
pressure may not have the same certified de-rated coefficient of discharge at a higher back pressure; see
ISO 4126-1, ISO 4126-3, ISO 4126-4 or ISO 4126-5, as applicable, for requirements for the certification of
the coefficient of discharge of various valve types.
6.2 Valves for gas or vapour relief
No distinction is made between substances commonly referred to as vapours: the term “gas” is used to
describe both gas and vapour.
To calculate the capacity for any gas, the area and the coefficient of discharge shall be assumed to be
constant and the equations given in Clause 5 shall be used.
6.3 Calculation of capacity
The ideal gas formula presented in 6.3 should not be used when the relieving temperature is greater
than 90 % of the thermodynamic critical temperature and the relieving pressure is greater than 50 %
of the thermodynamic critical pressure. Additionally, condensation is not considered. If condensation
occurs, the method presented in 6.3 should not be used.
NOTE 1 The equation to be applied depends on the fluid to be discharged.

1 % can only be achieved at a steam temperature at least higher than 30°C above saturation condition or
higher than the result of 30+(p -200), in °C, using p in bar above saturation or supercritical condition.
