Venting Guide was created to assist in equipment selection for aboveground storage tanks. Examples on the next two pages illustrate a vent selection process. It is best to work through the examples before attempting to use any of the tables in this book. Tables include examples for standard sized tanks. The venting capacity charts and wetted area tables were taken directly from NFPA 30 and UL 142. The vent selection chapter includes venting capacities of specifi c Morrison vents. This data was obtained from results of laboratory testing and engineering calculations. Catalog pages of the Morrison equipment follow the vent capacity chart. Defi nitions Emergency Venting — Venting suffi cient to relieve excessive internal pressure in storage tanks caused by exposure fi res. Venting rate may exceed requirements of normal atmo- spheric and product transfer effects. In such cases, the construction of the tank will deter- mine if additional venting capacity must be provided. Atmospheric Tank — A storage tank that has been designed to operate at pressures from atmospheric through 1.0 PSIG (760 mm Hg through 812 mm Hg) measured at the top of the tank (NFPA 30 Pg. 30-13). Pressure not to exceed 1.0 PSIG under normal operation, and 2.5 PSIG under emergency conditions (PEI RP-200). Pressure Relieving Devices — Defi ned in NFPA 30 4.2.5.2.3, where entire depen- dence for emergency relief is placed upon pressure relieving devices, the total venting capacity of both normal and emergency vents shall be enough to prevent rupture of the shell or bottom of the tank if vertical, or of the shell or heads if horizontal. Wetted Area — Exposed surface or shell area of a tank used in determining the vent- ing requirements needed for that size tank in event of an exposure fi re. In a horizontal tank, the wetted area is calculated as 75% of the exposed surface area. In a vertical tank, the wetted area is calculated as the fi rst 30 ft. above grade of the exposed shell area of the tank. CFH — Abbreviation for Cubic Feet per Hour used to quantify or measure the airfl ow and degree of pressure relief for venting calculations. Vent Capacity — The maximum rate of air- fl ow (CFH) recorded under test conditions at a maximum pressure of 2.5 PSI for specifi c sized emergency vents. This capacity rating is often required to be indicated on the vent itself. Page 3 Venting Guide STEP 1 Precalculated Data for Common Sizes Find tank size on Table A which can be found on page 6. Table lists wetted area and CFH for common sized horizon- tal tanks. For a 10’ x 17’ tank – wetted area = 518 sq. ft. and required vent capacity = 360,840 CFH. Proceed to Step 5. STEP 2 Wetted Area Table If tank size is NOT listed on Table A, page 6, wetted area can also be found on Table D, page 9. Follow grid for this example – 10’ diameter x 17’ length = 518 sq. ft. Proceed to Step 4. STEP 3 Calculate Wetted Area If the tank size is NOT on either chart, wetted area can be calculated. For Horizontal Tanks, wetted area = 75% of the total exposed surface area. For a 10’ x 17’ tank: 0.75[2(area of each end) + (area of shell)] = wetted area π = 3.14, d = diameter, L = length, WA = wetted area WA = 0.75[(πd 2 ÷ 2) +(πdL)] 0.75[((3.14)(10 2) ÷ 2) + (3.14)(10)(17)] WA = 518 sq. ft. STEP 4 Determine CFH Requirement Use Table F: Venting Capacity Chart on page 11. Wetted area must be known (518 sq. ft.). Since 518 is between 500 and 600 on the chart, interpolation is needed and is done as follows: 600 sq. ft. 392,000 CFH 500 sq. ft. 354,000 CFH Difference = 100 sq. ft. 38,000 CFH 38,000 = x 100 (518-500) x = 6,840 CFH Total CFH Required: (6,840 + 354,000) = 360,840 CFH Vent Selection/Capacity Example 1 STEP 5 Vent Selection Options based on size of piping, type of product, fl ow requirements, required venting capacity and mounting. For the sake of this example, use 2” piping, Class 1B liquid. The normal vent size should be no smaller than the system piping, so a Morrison 2” Fig. 548 (20,200 CFH) is selected. Total required venting capacity for this tank example was determined to be 360,840 CFH. Normal venting and emergency venting may be combined to reach this total. Morrison Vent Capacities are listed on Table H, page 13. Since the 6” Emergency Vent (278,660 CFH) can not pro- vide enough additional capacity to meet the requirement, an 8” Emergency Vent (504,818 CFH) is selected. In specify- ing pressure settings, it is recommended that the Emergency Vent NOT be less than the normal vent. Therefore, the vent specifi cation for this example is as follows: Normal Vent - 2” Fig 548 20,200 CFH (8 oz pressure - 1 oz vacuum) Emergency Vent - 8” Fig 244O 504,818 CFH (16 oz pressure) Total Venting Provided 525,018 CFH STEP 6 Verifi cation Refer to Table I on page 14 showing vent combinations and verify the total CFH fi gure. Also refer to the product illustra- tions on pages 15-19 and verify the selection for correct option on material compatibility and mounting requirements.
