Don1980,
Thanks for your reply, it is truly enlightening!
The tanks are made of carbon steel and as you stated they will more than like fail at about 800⁰F. (by the way you were dead on the releasing temperature = 753⁰F)
The goal is to prevent the tank (and its surroundings) from a...
Latexman,
Thanks for the super fast response!
What's the flash point?
- 212 deg F
Anything else in area that will burn?
- It is assumed that a pool fire will engulf about 80% of the tank's surface area. Nothing else that will burn.
What about other scenario's?
- The tanks are for storage...
Hi,
Is it appropriate to size a PSV for liquids with high boiling points assuming thermal expansion only in a fire scenario? (Given the following)
BP = 400 deg F (at 14.7 psi)
Set pressure PSV= 75 psi
Flow pressure PSV = 82 psi (110%)
Tank = 30,000 USG of product, 98% full
Thanks in...
