The applicable conditions are specified in the product standard of each type of cryogenic vessel. This European Standard provides a separate calculation method for determining the contributing mass flow to be relieved for each of the specified conditions. Conformity of the pressure protection system with the requirement for each condition is assumed if the applicable method of this standard is adopted. This European Standard is based on CGA pamphlet, S-1.2 and S-1.3 and standards prepared by CEN/TC 69.

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. Good engineering practice based on well established theoretical physical science shall be adopted to determine the contributing mass flow where an appropriate calculation method is not provided for an applicable condition. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

NOTEThis formula cannot apply to application at very low temperatures with small thickness of insulating material, as the maximum heat transfer coefficient would be given by air condensation.
