Tank calibration

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004466

The process of accurately determining the capacity of a storage tank at incremental levels from bottom to top, resulting in a certified tank strapping table. This procedure involves making precise physical measurements of the tank's dimensions, accounting for factors like shell thickness, deadwood, and temperature effects. The resulting tables correlate the measured liquid level, or innage, to a specific volume and are the basis for custody transfer and inventory management, governed by standards like those from the American Petroleum Institute (API).
