Cryogenic vessels - Pressure-relief accessories for cryogenic service - Part 3: Sizing and capacity determination (ISO 21013-3:2016)

This standard provides a separate calculation method for determining the contributing mass flow to be relieved resulting from each of the following specified conditions: - vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system (outer jacket + insulating material) intact under normal vacuum. Outer jacket at ambient temperature. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system remaining in place but with loss of vacuum, or non vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system intact. Outer jacket at ambient temperature. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vacuum or non vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system remaining fully or partially in place, but with loss of vacuum in the case of vacuum insulated vessels, and fire engulfment. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vessels with insulation system totally lost and fire engulfment. Good engineering practice based on well established theoretical physical science shall be adopted to determine the contributing mass flow where an appropriate calculation method is not provided for an applicable condition.

ISO 21013-3:2016 établit des méthodes de calcul distinctes permettant de déterminer le débit massique à décharger pour chacune des conditions spécifiées suivantes:
-      récipients isolés sous vide comportant un système d'isolation (enveloppe extérieure + matériau isolant) intact sous vide normal, enveloppe extérieure à température ambiante, récipient intérieur à la température du contenu à la pression de décharge spécifiée;
-      récipients isolés sous vide comportant un système d'isolation (enveloppe extérieure + matériau isolant) intact sous vide normal, enveloppe extérieure à température ambiante, récipient intérieur à la température du contenu à la pression de décharge spécifiée, régulateur de pression du système de mise en pression fonctionnant à pleine charge;
-      récipients isolés sous vide ou non, comportant un système d'isolation restant en place mais avec perte de vide en cas de récipients isolés sous vide, enveloppe extérieure à température ambiante, récipient intérieur à la température du contenu à la pression de décharge spécifiée, ou récipients isolés sous vide ou non, comportant un système d'isolation restant totalement ou partiellement en place, mais avec perte de vide dans le cas des récipients isolés sous vide, feu environnant, récipient intérieur à la température du contenu à la pression de décharge spécifiée;
-      récipients isolés sous vide contenant des fluides avec une température de saturation inférieure à 75 K à 1 bar avec un système d'isolation restant en place, mais avec perte de vide avec de l'air ou de l'azote dans l'espace sous vide;
-      récipients isolés sous vide contenant des fluides avec une température de saturation inférieure à 75 K à 1 bar avec un système d'isolation restant en place, mais avec perte de vide avec de l'air ou de l'azote dans l'espace sous vide avec feu environnant;
-      récipients avec perte totale du système d'isolation et feu environnant.
Il est nécessaire qu'une bonne pratique d'ingénierie reposant sur des données de physique théorique bien établies soit adoptée afin de déterminer le débit massique requis lorsqu'aucune méthode de calcul appropriée n'est fournie pour une condition donnée.

Kriogene posode - Oprema za razbremenitev tlaka za kriogene namene - 3. del: Določanje velikosti in pretoka (ISO 21013-3:2016)

Ta standard določa ločeno računsko metodo za določanje prispevka masnega pretoka, ki se sprosti kot posledica vsakega od naslednjih določenih pogojev: – vakuumsko izolirane posode z izolacijskim sistemom (zunanja obloga + izolacijski material), ki je nepoškodovan pri normalnem tlaku. Zunanja obloga pri temperaturi v prostoru. Notranja posoda pri temperaturi vsebine pri tlaku za razbremenitev; – vakuumsko izolirane posode z izolacijskim sistemom, ki ostanejo na mestu, a izgubijo vakuum, ali nevakuumsko izolirane posode z nepoškodovanim izolacijskim sistemom. Zunanja obloga pri temperaturi v prostoru. Notranja posoda pri temperaturi vsebine pri tlaku za razbremenitev; – vakuumsko ali nevakuumsko izolirane posode z izolacijskim sistemom, ki delno ali v celoti ostanejo na mestu, a izgubijo vakuum v primeru vakuumsko izoliranih posod in v primeru izpostavljenosti ognju. Notranja posoda pri temperaturi vsebine pri tlaku za razbremenitev; – posode s povsem izgubljenim izolacijskim sistemom in v primeru izpostavljenosti ognju. Za določanje prispevka masnega pretoka, če ločena računska metoda ni na voljo za zadevno stanje, je treba uporabiti dobro inženirsko prakso.

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 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Part 3:
Sizing and capacity determination
1 Scope
This part of ISO 21013 provides separate calculation methods for determining the required mass flow
to be relieved for each of the following specified conditions:
— vacuum-insulated vessels with insulation system (outer jacket + insulating material) intact under
normal vacuum, outer jacket at ambient temperature, inner vessel at temperature of the contents at
the specified relieving pressure;
— vacuum-insulated vessels with insulation system (outer jacket + insulating material) intact under
normal vacuum, outer jacket at ambient temperature, inner vessel at temperature of the contents at
the specified relieving pressure, pressure regulator of the pressure build-up system functioning at
full potential;
— vacuum or non-vacuum-insulated vessels with insulation system remaining in place, but with loss of
vacuum in the case of vacuum-insulated vessels, outer jacket at ambient temperature, inner vessel at
temperature of the contents at the specified relieving pressure or vacuum or non-vacuum-insulated
vessels with insulation system remaining fully or partially in place, but with loss of vacuum in the
case of vacuum-insulated vessels, fire engulfment, inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the
specified relieving pressure;
— vacuum-insulated vessels containing fluids with saturation temperature below 75 K at 1 bar
with insulation system remaining in place, but with loss of vacuum with air or nitrogen in the
vacuum space;
— vacuum insulated vessels containing fluids with saturation temperature below 75 K at 1 bar with
insulation system remaining in place, but with loss of vacuum with air or nitrogen in the vacuum
space with fire engulfment;
— vessels with insulation system totally lost and fire engulfment.
Good engineering practice based on well-established theoretical physical science needs to be adopted
to determine the required mass flow where an appropriate calculation method is not provided for an
applicable condition.
Recommendations for pressure relief devices for cryostats are given in Annex A.
