Flow Capacity - Sizing Thermal Relief Valve OC 1

This document provides information for sizing thermal relief valves according to API 521 guidelines. It lists properties of a fluid (gasoline) and a pipe including expansion coefficients, densities, temperatures, specific heat, radiation levels, diameters, lengths, flow rates, pressures, and material properties. The purpose is to calculate the necessary relief valve diameter and pressure to safely relieve pressure buildup due to thermal expansion in the pipe.
