No. The criteria from the standard that applies to the equipment
being evaluated should be used. The scope of Std. 2000 is
limited to aboveground storage liquid petroleum storage tanks,
and underground refrigerated storage tanks designed for
operation from vacuum to 15 psig. The equations in RP 521
were reviewed by the API Subcommittee on Pressure-Relieving
Systems and found to be appropriate for the equipment covered
in that document.
