API 521

Pressure-relieving and Depressuring Systems

What the relieving scenarios actually are — blocked outlet, fire case, control valve failure, thermal expansion — and how flare and depressuring systems are designed to handle them.

This is an explanation, not the standard. PipingInspector is not affiliated with API and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
