Question for experts: Should a measurement reference plate be installed below the metering port of an underground tank at a gas station? Where there are standard specifications required. The gas station I’m at now is new; there is no measurement reference plate below the measurement port, and the measurement port also lacks a groove for the measuring scale. Every time a measurement is taken, the result changes depending on the angle used. Thank you
I’m not sure about the requirements of the specifications; perhaps spherical tanks and horizontal tanks are not necessary. If it is not available when calibrating the tank capacity, it is not necessary to use it. Just measure the altitude during the measurement. By the way, I have a slight question: isn’t a horizontal tank a pressure tank? Can it also be measured with a ruler?
The underground oil tanks at gas stations are atmospheric pressure vessels.
The ground tank is not equipped with a measurement reference plate; manual measurements are taken at the same location, but the measurement values vary each time.
