Breather Valve Calc

The document provides specifications for sizing breather valves for storage tanks T-501/2/3 and T-504/5. It details the tank capacities, liquid movement rates, normal venting requirements, tank dimensions, total venting requirements, and breather valve sizing calculations. The calculations determine that two 2-inch breather valves are needed for each tank.
