Measurements Tab
Select the Measurements tab.
- Tank Height
Enter the distance from the bottom to the top of a tank and the unit of measure. These fields are display-only fields.
- Units
Enter a user-defined code that identifies strapping table increments (for example, centimeters, millimeters, half inches, or quarter inches). If the depot uses U.S. increments, you must enter FF in this field.
- Dip Type
Enter a user-defined code from 39/DP that identifies the method of measurement that the system uses to calculate the volume from tank dips. Values are:
W: Wet Dip Reading
U: Ullage Dip Reading
R: Roto Gauge Percent Reading
S: Slip Tube Reading
E: Electronic Gauge Reading
If the Dip is E, you must select the user-defined code for Gauging Method as ambient volume, standard volume, or weight electronic.
- Gauging Method
Enter a user-defined code that identifies the measuring method that the system uses to determine the quantity of liquid in the tank. Values are:
A: Ambient Volume - Electronic
H: Hydrostatic Gauging
M: Manual Dip
S: Standard Volume - Electronic
W: Weight - Electronic
X: Mechanical Gauging
If the Dip Type is E, you must select Gauging methods A,S, or W.
- Apply Calc. (apply calculation)
Specify whether a floating roof calculation is required. This is a value in the detail column Floating Roof (FR) in Dip Volume Calculator.
Y or 1:: A floating roof calculation is applied.
Nor 0: No floating roof calculation is applied.
S or 2: Strapping already accounts for floating roof calculation. No floating roof calculation is required.
If you enter Y or 1, the system requires that you provide roof weight and floating height entries.
- Weight
Enter the unit of measure for the roof weight. If you use a unit of measure that is not equal to kilograms, you must set up a conversion between the unit of measure and kilograms in the Standard Unit of Measure Conversion program. The Roof Weight field is required if the Floating Roof field is set to Y or 1. This value is used to calculate the roof displacement correction.
