A tank gauging system is a critical solution for accurately measuring liquid levels, volume, mass, and temperature in storage tanks. It’s essential for:
- Precise batch measurements during blending or transfer
- Custody transfer operations where legal and financial accountability is required
These tank gauging systems ensure compliance with industry standards such as OIML R85 and API MPMS, enabling accurate inventory control and transaction validation.
Key Functions
- High-accuracy level measurement (typically with radar or servo gauges)
- Temperature and density compensation
- Volume and mass calculations
- Real-time inventory monitoring
- Water bottom detection
- Interface with control tank gauging systems (SCADA, DCS)
Used In
- Oil & gas terminals
- Petrochemical plants
- Bulk liquid storage farms
- Refineries
- Logistics hubs for fuels and chemicals
