The Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP)of thePressure Relief Valve (PRV) is a set pressure that is adjusted to be used for the PRV (Bench Testing). Because in actual use conditions, the PRV may be affected by the Backpressure. And the operating temperature. Therefore, when testing at room temperature and without backpressure, it is necessary to adjust the set pressure to compensate for these factors. In other words, the shop test pressure = CDTP.
An example of aCold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP)with abackpressure (superimposed)effect. In this case, CDTP is equal to Set Pressure minus Backpressure.
An example of aCold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP)with different temperature compensations for use and testing. And an example ofCDTP that has been adjusted to compensate for both Backpressure (Superimposed) and temperatureeffects.
Test Stand or Test Bench is a set of equipment used for Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) in Pop Test (Set Pressure Test), Blowdown and Seat Tightness Test (Leakage Test)
As for theBalanced Bellow Pressure Relief Valve, which has a bellowfor reducing the impact of theBackpressure, the Cold Differential Test Pressure (CDTP) of the Balanced Bellow Type PRV will compensate only for the impact of different temperatures between the Shop Test and In-service.

Built-up back pressure is the backpressure generated due to pressure losses at the outlet of an open relief valve when it is discharging. This pressure depends on the pressure of the vent header downstream to the relief valve and the relieving flowrate which is being discharged. The built-up backpressure is the pressure in the vent header plus pressure drop in the line from relief valve to vent header, when the valve is discharging at full capacity.
For certain relief valve designs, the backpressure on the valve acts as a closing force and can affect the opening pressure for the valve. ‘Conventional’ valves are highly susceptible to this effect and hence not used in applications where high backpressure is expected. ‘Balanced Bellows’ and ‘Pilot Operated’ relief valves relatively shielded from effects of high backpressure.
For some relief valves (especially conventional type relief valves), the opening of the valve is affected by backpressure seen by the valve. If the backpressure seen by such relief valves is higher than atmospheric, then it has to be designed to open at a lower differential pressure value than the relief valve set pressure minus atmospheric pressure. However when the relief valve is tested before installation, it only sees atmospheric pressure as backpressure. Hence to open this relief valve at same differential pressure value, the set point pressure for opening the valve has to be lower than original design set point pressure. This set point value is known as cold differential test pressure (CDTP).
For pilot operated and balanced bellows type relief valves, effect of backpressure on valve opening characteristics is very low and hence CDTP is the same as the original design set point pressure value.

8 How is the CDTP-correction calculated?The CDTP-correction is provided by the manufacturer. LESER has done measurementson steam test laboratory at high temperature service conditions. These measurementshave been monitored and ploted as curve which was approved by German TV Nord.In case of superimposed back pressure and temperature the corrected set pressure iscalculated with formula. This formula is valid for conventional or balanced bellows design.The term ( pset pa ) considers influences of superimposed backpressure.The factor kT covers influences of temperature.

These measurements have beenmonitored, evaluated and processed into a correction curve. This curve was approved byGerman TV Nord to be a adequate practible procedure to correct set pressure to colddifferential test pressure concerning deviation of service conditions.

10 How is the influence of balanced bellows?10.1 How is the influence of balanced bellows in general for safety valve?The stainless steel bellows protects the upper area of safety valve against temperatureand compensates backpressure. The medium could not be in contact with the spring. Thisavoids changes of mechanical properties of spring material and influences on the setting.This effect is valid until limits of spring material.
10.2 How is the influence of balanced bellows in case of type 459 / 462 safety valves?For these two types the different discharge diameter do= 9, 13 and 17,5 mm haveinfluence to the correction of CDTP. This is based on the design of balanced bellows. Thesame stainless steel bellows is implemented in all three dos. The effective area of do =13mm design is equal to the balancing area of stainless steel bellows. A correction fordiffering effective areas (do = 9 mm and do = 17,5 mm) of seat area and balancing areahave to be considered with the additional correction factor kaf .Please refer to LDeS 1037.07 for detailed information.

Open design is recommended for application which are not harmfull for environment.Closed design is recommended for application with higher safety aspects. This has to bepreselected by customer.
The open bonnet design allows higher temperature of medium because of cooling effectwith free circulation of air. The temperature increase in comparison to closed bonnetdesign is smaller. The correction factor is listed in table 1.

If these limits are exceeded the spring characteristics are no more valid. The influence onrelaxation is stated in DIN EN 13906-1 or DIN 2089 (old not valid version).
The effect on CDTP-correction is covered with the stated correction factor in chapter 3.The spring material has no significant effect on the test results.

How the design of pilot control has influence on the CDTP?The pressure chambers in the Pop Action Pilot are sealed with soft sealing discs. Abovetemperatures of 100C the effective area of o-ring geometrie is influence. The result is adeviation of set pressure.
protectedThe Modulate Action Pilot design is based on several soft sealings to tighten the pressurechambers. If temperature is lower than -20C or higher than 100C the effective area of o-ring geometrie is influence. The result is a deviation of set pressure.

Further for Convetional Valve API-521 paragraph 4.2.3.3 A convetional PRV Operating with a constant superimposed back pressure normally required a correction factor to compensate for the back pressure. In this case the required set pressure minus superimposed back pressure is equal to CDTP. This change account for the addtional closing force exerted on the valve disk by back pressure.
Now, we have to add this pressure for back pressure consideration or valve is tested based on CDTP, But if we tested based on CDTP than this is less that the set pressure as CDTP is Set Pressure - Superimposed back pressure.
METRUS SVM series safety valve test benches are designed for mobile use. When considering a Service truck the SVM 4 is the first choice. SVM 20 is often used along with mobile workshops that are sent on site. Furthermore it is a perfect “testing terminal” to be used when connecting several test benches to a compressor system.
