Title
Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products - Calibration of Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks - Part 1: Manual Methods
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Nov 11, 2009
Scope:
This part of ISO 12917 specifies manual methods for the
calibration of nominally horizontal cylindrical tanks, installed at
a fixed location. It is applicable to horizontal tanks up to 4 m in
diameter and 30 m in length.
The methods are applicable to insulated and non-insulated tanks,
either when they are above-ground or underground. The methods are
applicable to pressurized tanks, and to both knuckle-dish-end and
flat-end cylindrical tanks as well as elliptical and spherical head
tanks.
This part of ISO 12917 is applicable to tanks inclined by up to
10 % from the horizontal provided a correction is applied for the
measured tilt.
For tanks over and above these dimensions and angle of tilt,
appropriate corrections for tilt and appropriate volume
computations should be based on the "Coats" equation [1].
