This standard covers selection, installation, commissioning,
calibration and verification of Hybrid Tank Measurement
Systems (HTMSs) for the measurement of level, static mass,
observed and standard volume, and observed and reference
density in tanks storing petroleum and petroleum products. It
is up to the user to define which measurements are required
for custody transfer or inventory control purposes (standard
volume, mass, or both). Therefore, this standard also provides
a method of uncertainty analysis, with examples, to enable
users to select the correct components and configure an
HTMS to more closely address the intended application. (See
Appendix B.)
This standard covers HTMSs for stationary storage tanks
storing liquid hydrocarbons with a Reid Vapor Pressure
below 15 psi (103.42 kPa). This standard applies to vertical
cylindrical tanks, and can also be applied to tanks with other
geometries (e.g., spherical and horizontal cylindrical) which
have been calibrated by a recognized oil industry method.
Examples of uncertainty analysis for spherical and horizontal
cylindrical tanks are also given in Appendix B. This standard
does not apply to pressurized tanks or marine applications.
This standard covers the installation and calibration of
HTMSs for custody transfer and inventory control.
