METHODOLOGY
SELECTION OF PROJECT
EXISTING SYSTEM
RUPTURE DISC A rupture disc, also known as a bursting disc or burst diaphragm, is a nonreclosing pressure relief device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from over pressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions
IDENTIFICATION OF FAILURE
When top pressure of furnace exceeds the rupture disc burst (causes-Furnace slip). Rupture disc get explode to relieve the excess pressure in the silos of the Gas Cleaning Plant.
Once rupture disc failed it cannot be reused. New one has to be replaced
Hence we focus to replace the rupture disc into pressure relief valve
PROPOSED SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE Pressure Relief Valves is also know as safety valves, which is used to release the excess steam when the pressure of steam inside the closed vessel exceeds the rated pressure.
DESIGN CALCULATION
1.Counter weight calculation by using free body diagram. 2.Design calculation for lever Pin
Shaft
tan = BD/CD tan45 = BD/275 1 = BD/275 BD = 275mm Then using Pythagoras theorem, we get
tan = BC/AB
tan45 = 388.9/AB 1 = 388.9/AB AB = 388.9mm
AC = 550mm
Primary input datas Diameter of relief valve (D) = 250mm Maximum pressure Pin length Assuming pin diameter (P) = 1.3bar = 0.13N/mm2 (Lp) = 600mm (dp) = 60mm
From the above diagram is represented by the length of pin = 600mm, then taking momentum about the center point of the pin Momentum (M) = 550Sin456381.36 = 2.48 106 Nmm
From the above diagram is represented by the length of the lever = 1300mm, then taking moment about the point at P
Finally the counter weight was calculated using above steps as P = 190kg

RESULT DISCUSSION
Dead weight Pressure relief valve with diameter 250mm was modified for changing rupture disc. The design of Dead weight pressure relief valve will be verified by some design steps. The shear stress and bending stress of lever was calculated.
The resultant value was verified with theoretical standard values of respective
material. The material was selected as Mild Steel.

CONCLUSION
Rupture disc in the Gas cleaning plant is affected by blast furnace top pressure
