** Question :
FO Tank No. 1 Center, Corrected Sounding = 3.27 Meter,
Temperature = 34*C,and density @ 15*C = 0.9903 (given density).
Tank Volume at Sounding 3.20 M = 157.20 Cubic Meter,
at Sounding 3.30 M = 163.60 Cubic Meter.
** Answer :
– The Quantity in Metric Ton = Oil Vol x VCF x WCF,
– Observe Volume = {(3.27 – 3.20) / (3.30 – 3.20) x (163.60 – 157.20)} + 157.20
= (0.07/0.10) x (6.40) + 157.20 = 4.48 + 157.20 = 161.68 Cu.M.
– T 54B (VCF) > Density @ 15*C 0.9903 = 0.9870 (see the above picture you need to interpolate if
any different numbers on both columns).
ASTM Table 54B – T 56 (WCF) : Density @15*C 0.9903 = 0.9892
(Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15*C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 =
0.9892).
We don’t need to see the table anymore.
– So, The Quantity in MT is 161.68 x 0.9870 x 0.9892 = 157.85 MT.
Sample calculation tanks sounding attached below (the Temp below should be 34 C).
Note : If you do calculation with Volume in Barrel, just uses ASTM Table 6B for VCF, ASTM Table
11 for WCF in Long Ton and then ASTM Table 13 for WCF in Metric Ton.
