Accumulation pressure is expressed in pound-force per square inch gage.3.1.3 blowdownthe difference between the set pressureand the reseating pressure. Blowdown is expressed in pound-force per square inch or a percent of the set pressure. Theaccumu

26、 the disk during discharge. This hammering of thedisk on the seat can cause high loading forces, which can leadto damage and rapid failure of the seating and sliding surfaces.3.1.9 maximum system operating pressurethe highestpressure that can exist in a system, vessel, or component undernormal (nonc
27、asualty) operating conditions. This is a normal(noncasualty) pressure that the pressure relief valve is notintended to protect against. This pressure can be the result ofinfluences such as pump or compressor shutoff pressure,pressure regulating valve lockup (no flow) pressure, and soforth.3.1.10 ope

29、tings between thepressure relief valve outlet connection and the main, tank, oratmosphere to which the pressure relief valve relieves.3.1.12 popping pressurethe value of increasing inlet staticpressure at which the disk moves in the opening direction at afaster rate as compared with the correspondin
30、g movement athigher or lower pressures. It generally applies to valves withcompressible fluid service such as steam, gas, and so forth.3.1.13 pressure relief valvean automatic pressure reliev-ing device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valveand characterized by either rapid opening (p
31、op action for gas,vapor, or steam) or gradual opening (for liquids).3.1.14 primary and secondary pressure zones of pressurerelief valveprimary pressure zone refers to all portions of thepressure-containing envelope subject to inlet pressure; second-ary pressure zone refers to all portions of the pre
32、ssure-containing envelope subject to outlet or discharge pressure(includes spring housing of nonvented valves).3.1.15 relieving capacity (also called flow capacity)thepressure relief valve is defined as the quantity of pressuremedium relieving through the pressure relief valve at theaccumulation pre
