Defining Item Temperature and Density

Access the Additional System Information form and click the Bulk Information tab.

Product Group

Enter a value that indicates a line of products whose similarity enables them to be grouped together. This grouping can be used to select products for other tasks or processes, such as reporting.

Density

Specify the density conversion algorithm to be used in calculations.

Reporting Temperature

Specify the temperature table to use for reporting purposes. Fill in this field only if you use a table that is different than the Temperature Conversion table. This table is usually used for government reporting.

Density Temperature

Enter the temperature at which the density was measured. The system uses the density temperature type from the Bulk Product Constants form.

Density Minimum

Enter a value that specifies the minimum density that is allowed for a product.

You can enable the value to be provided by default from the table that you are working with.

The table values and their corresponding ranges are:

5B 0 – 85 API Gravity

23B .6535 – 1.0760 Relative Density

53B 653 – 1075 Density in kg/M3

53D 800 – 1164 Density in kg/M3

BIT 700 – 1200 Density in kg/M3

Note: For most tables, there are multiple ranges that depend on temperature. The ranges listed are the lowest and highest numbers for all ranges within each specified table.

Density Maximum

Enter a value that specifies the maximum density that is allowed for a product.

You can allow the value to default from the table that you are working with.

The table values and their corresponding ranges are:

5B: 0 – 85 API Gravity

23B: .6535 – 1.0760 Relative Density

53B: 653 – 1075 Density in kg/M3

53D: 800 – 1164 Density in kg/M3

BIT: 700 – 1200 Density in kg/M3

Note: For most tables, multiple ranges depend on temperature. The ranges listed are the lowest and highest numbers for all ranges within each specified table.

Temperature Minimum and Temperature Maximum

Enter the minimum or maximum temperature allowed for the product. If provided by default from the table entered, the values are:

Table Min./Max.

6B: 0 – 300 degrees Fahrenheit

24B: 0 – 300 degrees Fahrenheit

54B: 18 – 150 degrees Celsius

54C: 18 – 150 degrees Celsius

54D :20 – 150 degrees Celsius

56: N/A

BIT: 25 – 275 degrees Celsius

Note: Multiple ranges exist for most tables based on density, so we have taken the lowest and highest values within the ranges. You may want to narrow the range for each specific product.

Calculate Vapour

Specify whether the product requires a calculation of the vapor volume. Values are:

Y or 1: Requires the calculation.

N or 0:: Does not require the calculation.

Vapour Temperature

Enter the standard vapour temperature at the item level. The observed temperature of the vapour in the LPG tank is recorded as part of the tank dip and is used to calculate the liquid equivalent volume of the vapour.

If you calculate LPG vapour, enter the standard LPG vapour. The observed vapour from the Dip Volume Calculator and Multimeter Reading is compared to this value.
