Vent Sizing Spreadsheet

The document provides information for line sizing of a vapor line. It specifies vapor flow rate, pressure, temperature and other parameters. It then calculates the pressure drop and equivalent length for three potential pipe sizes: 8 inches, 10 inches and 12 inches. The 10 inch line is recommended as it has the lowest total pressure drop of 0.14 bar while maintaining a velocity of 59.1 m/sec. Warnings are given that the total pressure drop is over 10% of the inlet pressure and 20% margin has been added to the line length.
