This International Standard covers the normal and emergency vapour venting requirements for aboveground
liquid petroleum or petroleum products storage tanks and aboveground and underground refrigerated storage
tanks designed as atmospheric storage tanks or Iow-pressure storage tanks. Discussed in this International
Standard are the causes of overpressure and vacuum; determination of venting requirements; means of
venting; selection, and installation of venting devices; and testing and marking of relief devices.
This International Standard is intended for tanks containing petroleum and petroleum products but it can also
be applied to tanks containing other liquids; however, it is necessary to use sound engineering analysis and
judgment whenever this International Standard is applied to other liquids.
This International Standard does not apply to external floating-roof tanks.
