Example 7-6 Rupture Disk for Vapors or Gases Non-Fire Condition

Example 7-6 Rupture Disk for Vapors or Gases Non-Fire Condition 

Determine the rupture disk size required to relieve the pressure in a process vessel with the following conditions k = 1.4. 

Vessel MAWP = 85 psig also = disk set pressure Vapor flow to relieve 12,000 std. cu ft/min 60°F and 14.7 psia 

Determine if conditions on rupture are critical or non-critical, based on 10% overpressure for primary relief.
