Title
Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products - Calibration of Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks - Part 1: Manual Methods
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2004
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].
