Input(s)
P: Pressure (psi)
D: Tank Diameter \((\mathrm{ft})\)
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{p}}\): Paint Factor (dimensionless)
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{o}}\): Outage Factor (dimensionless)
Output(s)
B: Breathing Loss (API bbl)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{B}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{P} * \mathrm{D}^{1.8}}{14.5}\right) * \mathrm{~F}_{\mathrm{p}} * \mathrm{~F}_{\mathrm{o}}
\]
