Can the set pressure of the breathing valve be equal to the maximum operating pressure of the storage tank? ? How should the design pressure of the storage tank be determined? Is it determined as a multiple of the operating pressure of the breather valve?
The design pressure of the storage tank should be determined right from the start of the design process! The set pressure of the breather valve should be higher than the maximum operating pressure, as breather valves inherently have leakage issues. Generally, 75% of the set pressure of the breather valve should be greater than the overset pressure of the valve upstream, ensuring that there is no overlap in their operating ranges and thus reducing waste!
Yes, the design pressure of a storage tank is generally ≥ the maximum operating pressure; the vent valve can be set at the design pressure of the tank
That’s not right, is it? There is already the pressure from the stored contents at the bottom of the tank, plus the design pressure; thus, the bottom of the tank operates under an ultra-safe pressure level

The pressure of the breather valve must be lower than the design pressure of the storage tank; the pressure of the breather valve corresponds to the operating pressure of the tank. As the temperature changes, the pressure inside the tank also changes
No. In accordance with Article 5.1.4 of the \"Design Code for Tank Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems\" (SH/T 3007-2014), the exhaust pressure of the breather valve should be lower than the design positive pressure of the storage tank, while the intake pressure of the breather valve should be higher than the design negative pressure of the storage tank.
