Can this forum help with Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valve calculations for dry cement storage tanks?  Most of the posts I have read deal more with liquid storage relief.

Jodi:

 

You have to be more precise and detailed in your query.  We all know you can't "relieve" dry cement.  You also can't relieve a liquid stored in a conventional storage tank - although you can avoid an overfill.

 

What you normally relieve is a gas or vapor that forms over the stored liquid or perhaps, in some cases, a stored powdered solid.  For this, there are many prior threads in our Search Machine as well as documents and calculation spread sheets  in our library.  I may be wrong from what I understand in your query, and if I am please correct me and our members will respond with help.

Hi,

 

It's mostly titled Silo rather than to be named storage tank...!

 

The protection against high pressure/vacuum will be limited to filling/emptying rates in comparison to liquid storage and the effect of thermal in-breathing/out-breathing could be negligible....
