    The document outlines the steps and calculations to determine venting requirements for a storage tank according to API 2000 standards. It considers normal inbreathing, fire relief outbreathing, and thermal inbreathing requirements.

    The total normal inbreathing requirement calculation considers factors like the maximum liquid filling rate, maximum liquid discharge rate, average inbreathing gas temperature, and heat of vaporization of the tank fluid.

    The fire relief outbreathing calculation considers factors like the heat input, environmental factor, heat of vaporization of the tank fluid, relief temperature, relative molecular mass of the tank fluid, wetted surface area, and tank height.
