This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for sizing Pressure Safety Valves (PSV) according to API 520 standards. It handles gas, liquid, and two-phase flow scenarios, accounting for critical factors like backpressure and fluid properties. Use get_relief_area_requirement to find the minimum orifice size, analyze_backpressure_impact to evaluate capacity reduction, validate_fluid_properties for physical consistency checks, and get_installation_constraints for physical setup requirements.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_installation_constraints

Provides physical and installation requirements based on the calculated orifice size and fluid type

get_relief_area_requirement

Calculates the minimum required orifice area for a specific relief scenario

validate_fluid_properties

Ensures that the provided fluid properties are physically consistent for the chosen phase

analyze_backpressure_impact

Determines if the existing backpressure will prevent the valve from meeting its rated capacity

Calculate the required orifice area for a gas relief scenario with a set pressure of 150 psi and 10% overpressure.

The required orifice area for the specified gas relief scenario is 1.25 square inches with a rated capacity of 4500 lb/hr.

Check if a 2.0 sq in orifice valve is sufficient given a set pressure of 200 psi and 50 psi backpressure for a liquid.

The valve is effective, and the capacity reduction factor is 0.85.

What are the installation requirements for a valve with a 0.5 sq in orifice for a two-phase fluid?

The minimum pipe size required is 2 inches, with standard carbon steel material compatibility and a vertical mounting type.

The sizing calculations and logic are based on the API 520 standards for pressure-relieving devices.
