ASME PTC 25 - Pressure Relief Devices: 2023 [paper]

Pressure Relief Devices

Standards for conducting and reporting tests on reclosing and nonreclosing pressure relief devices normally used to terminate an abnormal internal or external rise in pressure above a predetermined design value in boilers, pressure vessels, and related piping equipment.

This Code provides instructions in Part II for flow capacity testing and in Part III for in-service and bench testing. Testing of reclosing and nonreclosing pressure relief devices is conducted under various inlet and outlet conditions using steam, gases, and liquids for which valid physical properties are known. The validity of tests shall be determined in accordance to the requirements of subsection 1-3.
