This standard specifies the calculation methods of static liquid quantities of crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products (hereinafter referred to as oil products) in oil storage containers, defines the terms employed in the calculation of static oil quantities, and gives the equations for calculating some correction factors. Fundamental to this process is that different users can obtain consistent results through calculation by using the same basic data (tank capacity table, levels, densities, temperatures, etc.) regardless of whether the data is gathered automatically or manually.
This standard is applicable to calculation of quantities of oil products, at atmospheric conditions, in upright cylindrical tanks, oil tankers, railway tankers, horizontal cylindrical tanks, road tankers and other oil storage containers.
This standard does not address the calculation of oil quantities for clingage, non-liquid material, small quantities remaining on board, and oil vapor space.
The reference conditions for calculating static oil quantities in this standard are: standard temperature of 20°C and atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa.
