Typically, symptoms of an undersized valve are easy to spot. When you start production, the valve will stand wide open and your safety relief valves will go off due to over pressuring. If you’re in a liquid dump application, your vessels will also begin overfilling with fluid.

Symptoms of an oversized valve are often more subtle. Many of the calls I receive are from customers who did not realize their valve was oversized until a major secondary issue occurred on their site.
