Vent Sizing - Spreadsheet

This document summarizes the line sizing calculations for a vent line with a vapor flow rate of 11468.5 kg/hr at 0.14 Barg and 15°C. It evaluates pipe sizes of 8", 10", and 12" and finds that an 8" line has a total pressure drop of 0.39 bar which exceeds the recommended limit of 10% of the inlet pressure. The 10" line is selected with a pressure drop of 0.14 bar and blowdown capacity of 9.18 MMSCFD.
