I would like to know the design criteria for the PV Vents. Do we have to consider Inbreating (pumping out ) or Outbreating capacity ( pumping in ) for a tank which is open with a Floating roof does not have a cone roof / fixed roof)

Sushil:
I think this question belongs in the Student Forum - it is that basic and elementary.
By PV, I assume you mean "Pressure Vent", or a conservation vent which is a tank relief device for both pressure and vacuum. The primary reason for requiring pressure and vacuum relief in storage tanks is that those tanks have fixed roofs. If you have a floating roof, it stands to reason that there is no accumulation of pressure or creation of a vacuum possible. Am I laboring under the wrong conception? Perhaps I don't understand, but a floating roof basically adapts its storage space in accordance with the liquid inventory. Are we talking about the same thing? If we are, then there is no pressure build up unless there is a mechanical hang-up in the "floating" roof. Then, a pressure relief device is not going to be of much help.

Art,
I was not concerned about the outbreathng / inbreathing capacity. There is a PV vent of the floating roof which takes care for no liquid in the tank scenario. There are also rim vents which basically help the sealing with the tank wall. I was not sure what was the design criteria for those vents. If you can shed some light on that. They are generally set at 0.5 oz/sq.in.

Dear Friend:
You could try to find the GROTH catalogue (Tank Division Protection), inside you will find a Prsseure/Vacuum relief valve calculation sheet. If you need more information see API 2000.
Best Ragards,

Opsss. sorry for the wrong one answer posted.Are you trying to calculate the "bleeding vents" ?
