    2 API STANDARD 526

    b) specifying materials that will satisfactorily resist corrosion from the process fluid and environmental conditions;

    c) selecting the minimum required orifice area based upon relieving conditions derived from full knowledge of the
    pressure-relieving system and the requirements of the applicable codes and regulations;

    d) providing data for sizing and selection.

    4.2 The manufacturer is primarily responsible for the following:

    a) designing and manufacturing pressure-relief valves to satisfy the requirements of this standard and the
    purchasers specification;

    b) publishing relieving capacities based upon certified test data;

    c) advising the purchaser of any nonconformance to the purchasers specification;

    d) final sizing verification using the manufacturers actual orifice area and certified coefficient of discharge.

    5 Conflicting Requirements
    Whenever the information included on the purchasers specification sheet or purchase order conflicts with the
    provisions of this standard, the purchasers specification sheet or purchase order shall govern. Where conflicting
    requirements exist, the manufacturer shall call them to the attention of the purchaser.

    6 Orifice Areas and Designations


    The standard effective orifice areas and the corresponding letter designations are listed in Table 1. These effective
    areas are valid only when used with the sizing equations contained in API 520, Part I.
