    API 620 Tank: 10% Overpressure

    Uploaded by

    Eleonora
    The document discusses how to determine the set pressure for relief valves on storage tanks. The set pressure is based on the tank's maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) and the valve's overpressure characteristics. For tanks designed to EN 14015 or API 650 standards, the valve opening pressure cannot exceed the MAWP by more than 10% under normal conditions or 20% for fire emergencies. Examples are given showing how to calculate the set pressure for valves with different overpressure levels (10%, 40%, 100%) while staying below the maximum overpressure allowed for the tank design standard.
