A safety valve capacity guide ensures that a chosen pressure safety valve (PSV) can discharge enough fluid volume to prevent a system from exceeding its maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). Proper sizing relies on identifying the worst-case overpressure scenario, calculating the required mass flow rate, and sizing the valve orifice rather than simply matching the physical pipe diameter. 4-Step Safety Valve Sizing Framework
