BS ISO 12917-2:2002

Petroleum and liquid petroleum products. Calibration of horizontal cylindrical tanks. Internal electro-optical distance-ranging method | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope 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.
