[doomster]

What will be the ideal vent of a nitric acid tank, the material of the tank is stainless steel and the nitric acid concentration is 70% by weight.
Are flame arrestor applicable in this matter?

Hi,
Consider reading the document where you will find recommendation about suitable material for nitric acid :

You mention tank is made of SS , which grade?
note : 70% HNO3 is not flammable

Good luck
