I need to size an explosion vent in a small room with.

This room will contain small amount of acetic acid ~ 500 liters.

Can someone help me with the design guidelines/excel sheet calculations for the explosion vent for such room (100 cubic meter is the volume of room)

Get real sonny. This is a bulk handling forum. Storage of acetic acid is covered by health & safety regulations. You have not mentioned the container sizes, proximity of surrounding buildings or ventilation conditions. Your quest is architectural.
