API STD 2000-2009, Calculation For Max. Flow Rates For Normal Inbreathing

This document provides calculations for the maximum flow rates for normal inbreathing and outbreathing of a storage tank according to API STD 2000-2009. It includes inputs like tank volume, pump rates, latitude, temperature and insulation details. The calculations determine the inbreathing rate due to liquid movement out of the tank, thermal inbreathing rate, and total normal inbreathing rate. Similarly for outbreathing, it calculates outbreathing due to liquid movement in, thermal outbreathing rate using the Y-factor, and total normal outbreathing rate.
