API recommended practice

The modified FMEA approach has been used by the API to develop RP14C. In this document ten different process components have been analyzed and a Safety Analysis Table (SAT) has been developed for each component. A sample SAT for a pressure vessel is shown in Table 14-4. The fact that Tables 14-3 and 14-4 are not identical is due to both the subjective natures of a Hazard Analysis and FMEA, and to the fact that RP14C is a consensus standard. However, although the rationale differs somewhat, the devices required are identical. (The gas make-up system in Table 14-4 is not really required by RP14C, as we shall see.) [Pg.401]

Undesirable Event Cause D l ctable Condilion At Component [Pg.402]

Overpressure Blocked or restricted outlet Inflow exceeds outflow Gas blowby (upstream component) Pressure control system failure Thermal expansion Excess heat input High pressure [Pg.402]

Underpressure (vacuum) Withdrawals exceed inflow Thermal contraction Open outlet Pressure control system failure Low pressure [Pg.402]

Liquid Overflow Inflow exceeds outflow Liquid slug How Blocked or restricted liquid outlet Level control system failure High liquid level [Pg.402]

C = coefficient determined by the ratio of the specific heats of the gas at standard conditions. This can be obtained from Equation 2 [33a] in 4.3.2.1 of API Recommended Practice 520, Part I, or Figure 7-25. [Pg.454]
