1 This spreadsheet calculates the inbreathing and outbreathing requirements for above ground
storage tanks based on API 2000 September 1992 edition for tanks of under 25,000 barrel capacity
and less than 1 Psig design pressure.

2 For process tanks with constant level the inflow and outflow should be inputed for process upsets
only. For the filling and emptying case the thief hatch can be used. If the blanketing system is
sized for these cases for tanks with high inlet and outlet flows this can lead to very conservative
sizing.

3 The non-rigourous fire case assumes a tank surface area of over 2,800 sq. ft. and hexane as the
liquid.

4 The rigourous fire case requires the latent heat of vaporization which can be obtained from HYSIM
if the composition of the liquid is known.

5 Insulation factors are taken from API 2000 as shown in the table below

1 0.3
