Describes the sizing of safety valves for gas/liquid two-phase flow in pressurized systems such as reactors, storage tanks, columns, heat exchangers, piping systems or transportation tanks/containers. The possible fluid states at the safety valve inlet that can result in two-phase flow.

This part of ISO4126 specifies the sizing of safety valves for gas/liquid two-phase flow in pressurized systems such as reactors, storage tanks, columns, heat exchangers, piping systems or transportation tanks/containers. The possible fluid states at the safety valve inlet that can result in two-phase flow are given in Table1. NOTE The expression “safety valve” is a synonym for valves as described in ISO4126-1, ISO4126-4 and ISO4126-5.
