Aboveground Flammable and Combustible Liquid Tank Emergency Venting – Part 6: Wetted Area and Vent Capacity
Where atmospheric, aboveground flammable and combustible liquid storage tanks rely solely on pressure-relieving devices for emergency venting, the vent capacity is based on the tank’s wetted area. (See Coffee Break Training FP-2013-4 for an explanation of wetted area.) The combined air flow capacity of the normal and emergency vents is measured in cubic feet per…...
