AND
have the concurrence with the appropriate pressure equipment inspection personnel (inspection/inspection supervisor)
review of inspection repair recommendations
inspector can be change or deleted after review of engineer or inspection supervision. SHOULD BE RECORDED with reasoning , date of change and name of person who did the review.
temper embrittlement temp range for low alloy steels and material?

Superimposed back pressure is pressure coming from other sources when
PSV in close position. It may be constant or variable depends on the sources.
Built up back pressure is pressure generated as a result of fluid flowing through
PSV in open mode.
