Comprehensive approach to designing safety valves used in oil and gas plants, featuring case studies throughout the text Safety Valves in Oil and Gas Plants delivers a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of safety valves in the oil and gas industries, including their design and accessories. To help reinforce learning, case studies included throughout the text and multiple-choice questions and answers are included at the end of each chapter. Written by an industry veteran with extensive publishing and speaking experience, this book includes information on: Design details such as sizing and reaction forces, inspection, maintenance, codes and standards, and packing and preservationDaily industrial challenges regarding the resizing of existing pressure safety valves (PSVs) or the proper sizing of new PSVsProcess safety standards for all new operative installations or existing ones in the chemical industryCatalysts that can increase the pressure of fluids, including human error and equipment and component failureThe role of safety valves in protecting properties, the environment, and human lifeThis is an excellent reference on the subject for engineers and advanced students in chemical and process engineering, mechanical engineering, piping and valve engineering, and safety and instrument engineering.
