There may be misunderstandings regarding the total volume of combustible gas storage tanks as specified in petrochemical standards

As the title suggests: Is there a clear specification in the petrochemical standards similar to that in the detailed standards, stating that \"the total volume of fixed-volume combustible gas storage tanks should be calculated as the product of the tank’s geometric volume (in m³) and the design storage pressure (absolute pressure, in 105 Pa)\"?
Petroleum standards generally do not contain specific provisions requiring that the total volume of fixed-volume combustible gas storage tanks be described as the product of the tank’s geometric volume and the design storage pressure. The total volume generally refers to the geometric volume of the storage tank, without taking pressure factors into account. .
Your answer may represent one viewpoint, but it isn’t necessarily correct; after all, if values are not standardized to PV units, it becomes impossible to impose quantitative constraints. With a water volume of 200 m3, the amount of flammable gas that can be stored varies depending on the pressure, and in such cases, the concept of intrinsic safety cannot be applied.
In some cases, pressure factors need to be taken into account to ensure safety. In practical applications, it may be necessary to determine whether pressure needs to be taken into account in the calculation of the total volume, based on specific industry standards and regulations. If the standards specify something clearly, follow those specifications. If it is not specified in the standards, it may be necessary to consider whether to calculate the PV value based on actual circumstances and professional judgment
Looking at the standards, there’s nothing to question.
