Gas Flow Calculation
W = KCAP (ASME VIII)
Steam Flow Calculation
W = 51.5 KAP (ASME VIII)
Liquid Flow Calculation
Q = 22.8 (Crane No. 410)
Where
W = Flow, Lb/hr
Q = Flow, GPM
K = Coefficient of discharge
= .62 Per ASME UG 127(a) (2) (a) unless flow test data available
A = actual discharge area, sq. in (See table based on nominal Rupture Disk size)
P = (Set pressure x 1.10) + 14.7 = psia
M = Molecular weight (use 29 for air)
Z = Compressibility factor (use 1 for air)
T = Absolute temperature, oF + 460
Δ P = Set pressure x 1.10
S = Specific gravity of liquid
C = Constant based on ratio of specific heats (use 356 for air)
C = 520 
Solving these equations for A will give the required Rupture Disk discharge area. Then select the required nominal Disk size from the table.
