    Freeboard for sloshing in API Tanks

    Does anyone can tell me the criteria to evaluate if the tank roof and shell are designed to contain the sloshing liquid? By the other hand I would like to know what happen if the sloshing height is bigger that the freeboard.

    Fire system brach pipes flow velocity

    I have a custome who want to use 8" pipe to flow 2,925 us gpm. In this case the flow velocity es aproximatelly 18.78 fps. Is this velocity aceptable? NFPA hava a maximum velocity limits in branches pipes for foam solution and spray water system (cooling water for vertical storage tanks)?
