When Is a Tank Breather Valve Required?

02/07/2026

A breather valve (Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve – PVRV) is a critical safety device for oil and chemical storage tanks. It helps balance pressure and vacuum conditions during filling, emptying, and temperature changes. This article provides a detailed analysis of five mandatory cases for installing a breather valve according to the API 2000 standard, helping engineers select the correct equipment, improve operational safety, and reduce product vapor losses.

How Does Breather Valve Work?

25/03/2026

A breather valve is a direct-acting safety device designed to protect storage tanks by automatically relieving excess pressure or admitting air when internal pressure falls below a preset level. It maintains pressure and vacuum balance within the tank, preventing overpressure or vacuum conditions that could cause deformation or damage, while also minimizing evaporation losses during storage.
