Engineering Handbook on PRV's

Throwing this in for those of you building your own systems, or replacing components on existing systems. Selecting a PRV is not as simple as matching the pressure you want.pressure-relief-valve-engineering-handbook-en-us-3923290.pdf (9.3 MB)

My first job out of engineering school was at a Process Safety firm doing relief valve studies for oil and gas.

Can confirm there is way more to it than just picking a set pressure.

Good resource!
Proper sizing and using the correct type of PRV aside,
I think we have all seent many PRV on a CLS not connected to a discharge header, which baffles me every time.

Anyone got that video of the CLS in a C1D1 where the solvent ignited in system and created a flamethrower burning the operator?

Electrical safety, maintenance, and repairs: http://www.sailorbob.com/files/cqe/NSTM_300.pdf I’m not super comfortable uploading that one, so link.

Lots of good info in here too if you search, particularly for troubleshooting pumps and valves: http://militarynewbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/NAVEDTRA-14150-Machinists-Mate-1-C-Surface.pdf
