API MPMS 2.2F, 1st Edition, October 2009 - Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products-Calibration of Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks Part 2: Internal Electro-optical Distance-ranging Method

This part of ISO 12917 specifies a method for the calibration of horizontal cylindrical tanks having diameters greater than 2 m by means of internal measurements using an electro-optical distance-ranging instrument, and for the subsequent compilation of tank-capacity tables.

This method is known as the internal electro-optical distance-ranging (EODR) method.

This part of ISO 12917 is applicable to tanks inclined by up to 10 % from the horizontal, provided a correction is applied for the measured tilt.
