Tank Venting Api2000: normal thermal
API Standard 2000 (7th Ed 2014) tank venting requirements — normal thermal inbreathing/outbreathing SCFH by tank volume (100–180,000 bbl), pump-in/pump-out liquid movement venting rates, emergency fire-case venting by wetted area (100–2800 ft2), flash point and latitude correction factors, insulation credits, conservation vent set pressure/vacuum settings, and vent type selection guidance for atmospheric and low-pressure fixed-roof storage tanks
