(OP)
Referring to a 2018 thread: thread124-444189: Curd Settling Tank (Dimple Jacket) is imploded during chilled water circulation
topic starter US Rao (Mechanical)(OP)
Topic starter has not reacted anymore since 2018, would be interesting to know if the problem was indeed the insufficient vent (inbreathing) capacity.
US Rao, are you still a member?
Here's a youtube film showing what most likely happened.

Problem could be wrong basic tank design (wall thickness versus vent). The supplier does not make a good impression regarding design aspects, tells me "all our curd tanks are like that, so must be ok".....

From the video, it happens extremely fast. I would not size a relief device for that. I would specify the vessel be rated for full vacuum.
Good Luck,
