AS 2872 – Atmospheric heating of vessels containing fluids – Estimation of maximum temperature

Specifies a method for calculating temperatures and corresponding vapour pressures of fluids in vessels subject to atmospheric heating in the hottest month of the year in various locations around Australia. The method is applicable to stationary and transport vessels containing compressed liquefied gases, permanent gases and liquids having a viscosity not exceeding approximately 1 Pa.s.
