This document contains calculations for a relief valve on tank DV-103. It first calculates the constant back pressure of 10.78185 psig taking into account the tank design pressure, static height, and specific gravity. It then calculates the rated flowrate of the relief valve as 51.21923 gpm using the certified flowrate, set pressure, relieving pressure, and calculated pressure difference. Finally, it calculates the maximum discharge pressure from the pump as 113.9272 psig factoring in the total developed head, tank pressure, and static height.
