The ASME code requires every pressure vessel that can be blocked in to have a relief valve to alleviate pressure build up due to thermal expan sion of trapped gases or liquids. In addition, the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice (API RP) 14C, Analysis, Design, Installation and Testing of Basic Surface Safety Systems on Offshore Production Platforms, recommends that relief valves be installed at vari ous locations in the production system and API RP 520, Design and Installation of Pressure Relieving Systems in Refineries, recommends various conditions for sizing relief valves.

The full title of this standard is Analysis, Design, Installation and Testing of Basic Surface Safety Systems on Offshore Production Platforms. It specifies the requirements for the analysis, design, installation, and testing of surface safety systems for offshore production platforms (not drilling or exploration facilities). Although it is a Recommended Practice, RP 14C had been incorporated as a legal requirement by the MMS prior to the publication of the SEMS rule.
