We have an empty tank of 4 m3 volume. Height = Dia = 1.6 m.
Tank has a vent of size 1 inch. Tank doesn't have any PSV.
Now, we are going to use this tank for storing a chemical X.
In case of external fire scenario, I want to check if this 1 inch vent size is suitable for venting the vapors.
Tank Design pressure = 6 kg/cm2g
Vapor Pressure of chemical X = 6 kg/cm2 @385 Deg C
Kindly advice what should be the criteria for vent sizing?
