Pressure- and/or vacuum-vent valves are normally used to protect atmospheric and<br />

low-pressure storage tanks against a pressure large enough to damage the tank. Single<br />

units composed of both pressure-vent valves and vacuum-vent valves are also known<br />

as conservation-vent valves, and are normally used on atmospheric storage tanks<br />

containing materials with a flash point below 100ºF (38ºC). However, they may also<br />

be used on tanks storing heavier oils (see <strong>API</strong> 2000).<br />
