a Pipe may be used for neck, providing the minimum nominal wall thickness is 1/4 in. (ID and Dp shall be adjusted accordingly.)

NOTE See Figure 5.18.

b) For anchored tanks, except those designed to F.1.3, the pressure relief devices shall be adequate to prevent
internal pressure from exceeding the tank design pressure as determined in F.4.1 (subject to the limitations in
F.4.3, as applicable).

c) For tanks designed to F.1.3 (anchored tanks), the pressure relief devices shall be adequate to prevent internal
pressure from exceeding the design pressure specified by the Purchaser.

5.8.5.4 The filling and emptying rates are specified on the Data Sheet, Line 7. See the Data Sheet, Table 3 for
venting devices, which shall be specified by the Purchaser and verified by the Manufacturer.

5.8.5.5 All free vents shall be provided with corrosion-resistant coarse-mesh bird screens of a maximum opening
size of (19 mm [3/4 in.] nominal opening). It is recommended that in areas where snow drifting or icing may be an
issue, special attention to vent details (such as profile, diameter, capacity, arrangement, or increased screen size)
should be made. In these situations the Purchaser shall specify modified venting requirements based on anticipated
needs for a specific environment. The smallest dimension of the opening in any mesh used for bird screen is the
governing size for the opening.

5.8.5.6 Flanged roof nozzles shall conform to Figure 5.19 and Table 5.14a and Table 5.14b. Slip-on flanges and
weld neck flanges shall conform to the requirements of ASME B16.5 for Class 150 plate-ring flanges shall conform to
