Dip Chart Details

Dip Height

Enter one or more incremental measurements in the dip chart details grid. Each measurement that is entered represents a significant change in the cylindrical properties of the tank, which results in a change to the height-to-volume conversion. You enter these measurements in the facility unit of measure. If the facility uses the metric system, enter one value (for example, meters). If the facility uses the U.S./Imperial system, enter up to three quantities (feet, inches, sixteenths).

Volume

Enter the respective volume for the dip height. This value is expressed in terms of the facility volume unit of measure.

Dip Chart VPI (dip chart volume per increment)

Displays the calculated volume per increment (VPI) for each height and volume pairing that is entered. The system uses this value to perform height-to-volume conversions for the tank. You cannot modify this value.

Delete

Click to delete detail records for dip charts that you no longer need or that you entered in error. When you assign a dip chart to a tank, you can no longer delete it.

Insert

Click to insert additional height-to-volume increments between existing records. When you assign a dip chart to a tank, you can no longer revise the dip chart.
