Oil blending Calculation of tank truck capacity

2016-07-21View Original

Thread Content

In oil blending, assuming the tank truck has a volume of 40 cubic meters, a height of 2 meters, a raw material density of 0.7, and is loaded with 23 tons while only 14 tons are actually required, how can we calculate the actual remaining height of the raw material in the tank after unloading? Please, experts, provide a solution

If we make an approximate estimate, assuming the cross-section of the tank truck is circular, it’s easy to calculate.

Oh, we haven’t calculated it here. Those with flow meters can check the flow meters; those without flow meters rely on the driver’s experience, as experienced drivers are very skilled.

Hehe, we don’t have flow meters; the driver knows how much is loaded, but it’s hard to tell how much has been unloaded. Moreover, the requirements for adjusting the oil level are very strict. . . . Multiple unloads need to be evaluated. . . . . . Please, expert. . . . Best move granted :)

Most are oval-shaped tanks, while some are slightly rectangular tanks

Assuming a cylindrical tank truck, under the above conditions, list the calculation method

Is this tank truck equivalent to our horizontal tank? The calculation formula for the volume of a horizontal tank can be used to calculate it
