SCOPE
The purpose of a safety relief valve is to discharge a given amount of vapour, gas or liquid, while preventing the pressure increase exceeding a predetermined level. Therrefore it is imperative that the sizing of the safety relief valve is done with utmost care and caution. It is here that SAFEVALV comes handy, as it helps you size the valve as per API standard giving you fast and accurate results.
STANDARD FEATURES
Safevalv is a user-friendly software using which the user is able to select the appropriate valve, which meets technical performance specifications. Very little help is required to run the program, however a complete instruction manual is included. Inputs are through easy pull-down or popup Menus. Error traps are provided to ensure validity of data. The Valve sizing is based on American Petroleum Institute (API) standard RP 520 Part I. The software supports nearly 60 liquids like Acetaldehyde, Acetic acid, Acetone, fresh water, sea water, O-Xylene, etc., and steam. The properties of the above fluids like viscosity / specific gravity / compressibility factor / molecular weight etc. are stored in a database. Option is available for sizing other liquids, gases or vapors also. Safevalv provides a range of choices for the units used and they are readily available by pressing a hot key during data entry. Provision is there to store results in a file on a disk or to print it. The output of the software gives computed valve orifice area, selected valve from the database and its characteristics. Specification details, type of accessories used and material selection for the valve components are also inbuilt into SAFEVALV. System Requirements A PC with DOS version 3.0 or above and 640 KB RAM.
The software is used by Industries like Asian Industrial Valves
