Now you can accurately size and select a pressure relief valves for any combination of process applications with SizeMaster™ Mark IV pressure relief valve engineering software. This program for Windows® (all versions) brings unprecedented integration of standard engineering practice to the task of sizing and selecting pressure relief valves.
A User Account is required to access updates to the Sizemaster Software. If you already have an account please With SizeMaster Mark IV software, you can define as few as one or as many as 64 different sizing scenarios including blocked flow, fire, thermal and tube rupture, from a scenario matrix grid. Selection of the pressure relief valve is automatically based on the relief area of the worst case scenario. Various Wizards make the most complicated task simple; for instance, the Capacity Wizard allows you to determine accurate vapor generation for vessels of all types.
Current Issue Dresser software helps valve selection Dresser Consolidated®, Houston, TX, has released SRVS6.2™, an updated version of its pressure relief valve sizing and selection software. Drop-down menus help users to navigate the program and common input data can be preset for faster selection. Preset options include units of measure, barometric pressure, materials, orifice selection criteria and connection requirements. Help files allow searching by common pressure relief valve terms.
Too often pressure relief valve sizes are determined by merely matching the size of an existing available vessel nozzle, or the size of an existing pipe line connection. Correct and comprehensive pressure relief valve sizing is a complex multi-step process that should follow.
An F1 key shows an explanation of the required data for any input field. The SRVS6.2 software has fullcolor cut-away drawings of the valves’ components and dimensions. The certified drawings are in accordance with ASME and API standards and are accompanied by data sheets, valve materials and orifice area calculations. Drawings, data sheets and other specifications can be output as pdf files for electronic transfer. There is an optional interface between the program and Intergraph’s INtools® program to further automate valve sizing and selection for INtools users.
Data are imported from the INtools files into the SRVS6.2 program. The valve selection results are then exported back to the INtools data files. The interface allows INtools users to tap the knowledge of Dresser’s valve experts. The SRVS6.2 software, the interface and INtools specification files can be downloaded free from www.dresser.com (Brands/Consolidated/Valve Sizing Programs). New users can use the software immediately without waiting for log-in credentials and a password. PI Dresser Inc.
