| | Relief Valve Set Pressure |
 | | Once the required relief valve orifice size is calculated, an actual orifice size equal to or greater than the calculated orifice size is chosen from a selection available from a particular manufacturer. |
 | | The certified capacity which determines adequacy of design of a relief valve (which is the 'device' I assume you are referring to since the capacity of a stand alone rupture disk is different) is based on the criteria described in ASME Section VIII, Divison 1, Paragraph UG-131, not Paragraph UG-125. |
 | | I see that the code states that "the valve must have the capacity to relieve the load*" and that "the official rated capacity is that which is stamped*" but I don't see where it says that the valve must be able to relieve the load at the official rated capacity. |
