HAR 6-77-194 Pressure limiting and regulating stations: testing of relief devices
feasible, pressure relief devices (except rupture discs) must be tested in place, at intervals not exceeding fifteen months, but at least once each calendar year, to determine that they have enough capacity to limit the pressure on the facilities to which they are connected to the desired maximum pressure.#
(b)If a test is not feasible, review and calculation of the required capacity of the relieving device at each station must be made at intervals not exceeding fifteen months, but at least once each calendar year, and these required capacities compared with the rated or experimentally determined relieving capacity of the device for the operating conditions under which it works. After the initial calculations, subsequent calculations are not required if the review documents that parameters have not changed in a manner which would cause the capacity to be less than required.#
(c)If the relieving device is of insufficient capacity, a new or additional device must be installed to provide the additional capacity required. [Eff 1990) ] (Auth: HRS '269-6) (Imp: 49#
