Venting flow rate = fill rate (CFM) *((pressure differential across valve + 14.7 psi)/14.7 psi)
El diámetro necesario para la expulsión de aire, se calcula para el gasto de llenado de la tubería
y una presión máxima de llenado (ΔP) en la válvula de 0,14 Kg/cm2 = 2lbs/pulg2 = 2 psi
2) refer to table 4-2 or figure 4-2 and select the orifice diameter that provides the required
flow at the selected venting pressure.
Example
A 66-in. Pipeline will fill at a flow rate of 10.500 gpm (1ft/sec), and the air valve will vent the air
at a pressure of 2 psi.
1) 1.598 scfm
2) referring to table 4-2 and figure 4-2, at 2 psi, select a 4 in. Orifice that will vent 1.780 scfm.
Determine the allowable negative pressure for the pipeline with a safety factor. Assume 5.0 psi
for a max.
Example
Using the aboveground 24-in. ID by 1/8-in.-thick Steel pipeline illustrated in figure 4-5,
calculate the mínimum orifice diameter at stations 10+00 (assuming a line break at
station 0+00), 25+00 (assuming a line break at station 20+00), and 40+00 (assuming a
line break at station 20+00).
