Lube Oil System Sizing Calculations - API614 Chapter 3

This document contains calculations for sizing a lube oil system according to API614 Chapter 3. It provides calculations for flow velocities, tank deflection, tank volumes at different levels, and verifies the minimum working capacity is greater than 3 minutes of normal flow. Key parameters like bore sizes, tank dimensions, steel thickness, and flowrate are given. Calculations are shown for flow velocities, tank deflection, volumes at different levels, and comparing the actual working capacity to the minimum required.
