How to determine the volume of a buffer tank

With flow rate and buffer time, it’s possible to calculate the volume of material in the buffer tank; with an additional filling factor, the capacity of the buffer tank can be determined. I’m not sure whether you’re referring to a liquid or a gas – for liquids, the calculation is straightforward, but it’s more complicated for gases, and I don’t know how to do it either
The tank is generally filled to 90% capacity; Tank volume = Flow rate * Time / 90%
An empirical formula is available to calculate the volume, which is 1.6 times the square of the flow rate Q; the unit of Q is m3/min. The main formulas cannot be pasted; otherwise, the formulas will be displayed.
Thank you all so much; I get it now! Haha
Could you teach me? Hehe, I'm a beginner!
Check the API 168 standard or China’s industrial compressor standards; they provide clear calculation formulas.
