Also addressed within this chapter

30、 is anexplanation of the factors required for the calculations.2 ScopeThis Chapter is applicable to all crude oils, petroleumproducts, and petrochemicals (including LPGs and other liq-uefied gases) transported by rail tank car. It does not coverany products loaded or measured as solids. It defines t

31、heterms required to understand the calculations, and providesinstructions for their use. The cars are assumed to be on levelground.3 References APIManual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (API MPMS)Chapter 1 “Vocabulary”Chapter 3.2 “Tank Car Measurement”Chapter 7 “Temperature Determination”Chapter

35、e adjustment factor (CTAF):Since one capacity table may be used for hundreds of tank cars,yet tank cars cannot be constructed to exactly match the table,the table may be mathematically fitted to the tank car by apply-ing an adjustment factor. This factor is calculated by dividingthe stenciled volume

36、 (Vs) by the table max volume (Vtblmax).4.1.3 closed loading/unloading:The manway remainsclosed or covered during loading/unloading. For a pressure car,sampling and measurement must be accomplished by externalmeans or special local procedures.4.1.4 compartment car:A car with two or more inde-pendent

38、y transfer measurement: Provides quan-tity and quality information used for the physical and fiscaldocumentation of a change in ownership and/or responsibilityfor commodities.4.1.8 dome tank cars: Non-pressure tank cars with anexpansion trunk (dome) at the top center of the tank car toprovide space

39、for expansion of the liquid in the car. The man-way nozzle is on the dome. These are generally 10,000 gal-lons or less and are no longer made. Since tank cars have astatutory 50-year lifetime, they will continue to be used forsome time (49 CFRCh. II, 215.201, as of this printing).1U.S. Department of

The manway nozzle is usually locatedabout 6 inches off the cente

42、r point, along the longitudinal axisof the car. The slope of each of the two halves is on the orderof 0.25 inches/foot. Slope and manway position will varywith the manufacturer.4.1.11 gauge: The measure of the liquid level in a tank,vertically from the tank cars reference gauge point.4.1.12 gauging:

43、A process of measuring the height of aliquid in a container.4.1.13 general purpose tank car: A non-pressure tankcar designed and constructed under DOT regulations to trans-port liquids of relatively low volatility, such as asphalts, crudeoils, fuel oils, solvents, specialty chemicals, etc.4.1.14 gro

Linings may be damaged if gaugingequipmen

If alining is removed, replaced, or added at a later date by thecars owner, the capacity table should be recalculated.4.1.18 light weight (tare): The number painted on thesides of a tank c

The device consists ofa spherical toroidal float with an interior magnet that movesup and down a hollow tube (sealed to the outside) as the carsliquid level changes. Another magnet is attached to the bot-tom of a graduated gauge rod located in the hollow tube andaccessible from the outside. W
