Calibration Method
a). Vertical Calibration
For use of Optical calibration a reference circumference is required.
This is obtained by taking the average circumference of the
bottom plate course, which is measured by strapping either
continuously or for larger tanks in series of areas by the use of
calibrated master tape. Reference strapping is taken at 80% from
the bottom of the course.
On the reference circumference stations are marked at equal
intervals around the tank wall, the number of optical perpendicular
stations. This is obtained by the following formula.
Stations = Circumference in meter
6
(Rounded the nearest even number of stations with the minimum
of 8 stations and maximum of 24 stations)
The horizontal stations shall be chosen to insure that the vertical
transverse of the trolley along the shell at any given station shall
be at least 300mm from the vertical weld seam and their should
be no interference in its line of travel.
For any given horizontal station, a minimum of two vertical
stations is established for each course at 20% and 80%.

At the first station the theodolite in set up with its standing axis at
a known distance from the tank wall. The movable scale assembly
is placed against the tank wall and pulled upwards until the
graduated rule is at the same level as eyepiece of the theodolite a
reading on the graduated rule is taken.
Subsequently reading is then taken at all required levels. Two
reading per course minimum.
b). Bottom Calibration
Similar number of horizontal stations marked inside the tank at
equal distance around the circumference.
Vertical stations are taken from the center of the tank to the inside
of the wall, 5M apart with the first station at 0.5M from the wall.
By placing a water tube at the center of the tank and taking
reading with a water tube at each vertical station, the profile of the
tank bottom can be obtained.

From this profile the volume can be calculated using the correct
formula for the geometrical shape for the floor with irregular
configuration.
c).

Deadwood Measurements

The entire deadwood is accurately accounted for as to the volume and location in
order to permit adequate allowances for volumes of liquid displaced by various
objects and allocation of these effects at various elevations within the tanks.

d). Computation of Capacity Table


Once the field measurements have been carried out the
accumulated data is input onto our computer program to obtain
the tank table on recommended format of non-tearable tracing
paper showing the capacity in liters at every 1 cm depth and
fractions in mm to interpolate dip readings and get the Calibration
Chart duly certified and Approved by Competent Government
Authority.
A Soft copy of EXCEL file of Tank Capacity table shall also be
submitted to load tank capacity in the tank gauging system.
