Sizing Information API 2000
The following list contains all necessary information to The American Petroleum Institute Standard 2000 (API
properly size a valve once system parameters are 2000) sizing criteria accounts for liquid pump-in and
determined. The customer must provide the following: pump-out as well as contraction and expansion of tank
• Pump-in rate (for depad calculation) vapors due to heating and cooling. When using API
• Pump-out rate (for pad calculation) 2000 methods:
• Inert (blanketing) gas specific gravity
Pad Sizing
• Inert gas supply pressure (for pad selection)
• Tank volume (for API sizing both pad and depad) Qpad = Qpump-out + Qthermal
• Stored fluid flash point (for API sizing depad) where,
• Stored fluid boiling point (for API sizing depad)
Q pad = Required Pad Flow Rate
• Vent gas specific gravity (sg, for API sizing depad)
Qpump-out = Required Flow Rate for displacement
• Depad setpoint due to pump-out. (See table 5)
• Vent piping backpressure Qthermal = Required Flow Rate due to thermal
• Sizing method (Direct Displacement or API 2000) cooling. (See table 6)
