This document specifies the sizing of safety valves and bursting discs for gas/liquid two-phase flow in pressurized systems such as reactors, storage tanks, columns, heat exchangers, piping systems or transportation tanks/containers, see Figure 2. The possible fluid states at the safety device inlet that can result in two-phase flow are given in Table 1.
NOTE The pressures used in this document are absolute pressures, not gauge pressures.

This standard provides a separate calculation method for determining the contributing mass flow to be relieved resulting from each of the following specified conditions: - vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system (outer jacket + insulating material) intact under normal vacuum. Outer jacket at ambient temperature. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system remaining in place but with loss of vacuum, or non vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system intact. Outer jacket at ambient temperature. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vacuum or non vacuum insulated vessels with insulation system remaining fully or partially in place, but with loss of vacuum in the case of vacuum insulated vessels, and fire engulfment. Inner vessel at temperature of the contents at the relieving pressure; - vessels with insulation system totally lost and fire engulfment.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture and testing of safety valves for
cryogenic service, that is to say for operation with cryogenic fluids (as defined in EN 1251-1) below – 10 °C in
addition to operation at ambient temperature. It is a requirement of this European Standard that the valves comply
with EN ISO 4126-1 or EN ISO 4126-4. In the event of different requirements, the requirements for cryogenic
service are applied.
NOTE 1 A cryogenic fluid (refrigerated liquefied gas) is a gas which is partially liquid because of its low temperature
(including totally evaporated liquids and supercritical fluids).
This European Standard is restricted to valves not exceeding a size of DN 100 for category B. The valves of
category A are limited to DN 25 and set pressures up to 40 bars. Both categories are designed to relieve single
phase vapours or gases. A valve can be specified, constructed and tested such that it is suitable for use with more
than one gas or with mixtures of gases.
NOTE 2 All safety valves covered in this European Standard correspond to category IV of PED (Directive 97/23/EC) and
category 3 of TPED (Directive 99/36/EC).
NOTE 3 This European Standard does not provide methods for determining the capacity of relief valve(s) for a particular
cryogenic vessel. Such methods are provided in EN 13648-3.

ISO 4126-9:2008 covers the application and installations of safety devices such as safety valves, safety valves and bursting disc safety devices in combination, pilot-operated safety valves and controlled safety pressure-relief systems for the protection of pressure equipment. ISO 4126-6 covers the selection, application and installation of bursting disc safety devices. ISO 4126-9:2008 describes the normative requirements for applications and installations of safety devices to protect static pressure equipment. The information contained in ISO 4126-9:2008 assumes single-phase flow of the fluid discharged from the safety device. ISO 4126-10 provides guidance specific to two-phase flow conditions. Equipment connected together in a system by piping of adequate capacity, which is free from potential blockages and does not contain any valve that can isolate any part, can be considered to be a safety system for the application of pressure relief. ISO 4126-9:2008 does not deal with other safety devices, such as safety related monitoring, control and regulation devices and other limiting devices allowed by some national regulations.

This European Standard specifies the basic design requirements for the selection of a gas explosion venting protective system. This European Standard, EN 14797 and EN 14460 form a series of three standards which are used together.
NOTE 1 These three standards together represent the concept of gas explosion venting.
NOTE 2 To avoid transfer of explosions to other communicating equipment one should also consider applying prEN 15089.
This European Standard is applicable to:
vent sizing to protect against the internal pressure effects of a gas explosion;
flame and pressure effects outside the enclosure;
recoil forces;
influence of vent ducts;
influence of initial temperature and pressure.
This European Standard does not provide design and application rules against effects generated by detonation reactions or runaway exothermic reactions including decomposition in the gas phase.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
fire risks arising either from materials processed, used or released by the equipment or from materials that make up equipment and buildings;
design, construction and testing of explosion venting devices, which are used to achieve explosion venting );
protection against overpressures caused by events such as overfilling, overpressurisation, fire engulfment, overheating etc.
NOTE 3 Protection by venting against dust and hybrid explosions is specified in EN 14491.
