This International Standard covers the normal and emergency
vapour venting requirements for aboveground liquid petroleum or

from full vacuum through 103,4 kPa (ga) [15 psig]. 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
