Examples of Cold Differential Set Pressure Calculations
(a) Set pressure 255 psig (17.58 barg), temperature 300ºF
(148.9ºC), back pressure atmospheric.
Set Pressure ................................ 255 psig (17.58 barg)
Multiplier (see Table 5) ....................................... X1.006
Cold Differential Set Pressure
............256.5 psig (17.69)
(b) Set pressure 255 psig (17.58 barg), temperature 300ºF
(148.9ºC), constant pressure 15 psig (1.03 barg).
Set Pressure ................................ 255 psig (17.58 barg)
Minus Constant Back Pressure ...... -15 psig (-1.03 barg)
Differential Pressure
..................... 240 psig (16.55 barg)
Multiplier (see Table 5) ........................................ X1.006
Cold Differential Set Pressure
............241.4 psig (16.64)
(C) Set pressure 255 psig (17.58 barg), temperature 100ºF
(37.8ºC), constant back pressure 15 psig (1.03 barg).
Set Pressure ................................ 255 psig (17.58 barg)
Minus Constant Back Pressure ...... -15 psig (-1.03 barg)
Differential Pressure
..................... 240 psig (16.55 barg)
Multiplier (see Table 5) ........................................ X1.003
Cold Differential Set Pressure
............240.7 psig (16.60)
The Table 5 can be used for set pressure adjustment
of valves with operating temperatures from 251ºF
(121.7ºC) to 800ºF (426.7ºC).
