    This document provides calculations for inbreathing and outbreathing of air for an insulated storage tank. It includes: 1) An inbreathing calculation for a 450m3 tank being pumped out at 30m3/hr, with an insulation factor of 1 and C factor of 6.5, resulting in 497.909773 Nm3/hr of inbreathing air. 2) An outbreathing calculation for the same 450m3 tank being pumped out at 90m3/hr, with an insulation factor of 1 and Y factor of 0.32 based on its latitude, resulting in 168.1702 Nm3/hr of outbreathing air. 3) Tables
