I have come across a range of face to face dimensions for wafer/lug butterfly valves via B16.10, MSS-SP67, MSS-SP68. Typically when I specify a valve the dimensions match up with...

Hello, Could someone provide me some guidance on the following? I am trying to size a Oily Water Storage Tank (atmospheric pressure) to gather runoff of firewater in the event of a Oil Storage Tank rupture inside of a building. To clarify, if a Oil Storage Tank (Lube Oil) were to rupture and...
