27、on 2DCalibration of Upright Cylindrical Tanks Using the Internal Electro-optical Distance Ranging Method0 IntroductionThe method described in this part of API MPMSChapter 2is an alternative to other tank calibration methods such as thestrapping method (API MPMSChapter 2, Section 2A), theoptical-refe

28、rence-line method (API MPMSChapter 2, Sec-tion 2B) and the optical-triangulation method (API MPMSChapter 2.2C).The parts of Chapter 2 form part of a series on tank calibra-tion which also includes: Standard 2551, Measurement andCalibration of Horizontal Tanks;Standard 2552, Measure-ment and Calibrat

31、ro-opticaldistance-ranging instrument, and for the subsequent compila-tion of tank capacity tables. This method is known as theinternal electro-optical distance-ranging (EODR) method.1.2This part of Chapter 2 is not applicable to the calibra-tion of abnormally deformed (e.g. dented) tanks or of nonc

32、ir-cular tanks.1.3This part of Chapter 2 is applicable to tanks tilted by or = 3 % from the vertical, provided a correction is appliedfor the measured tilt as described in Chapter 2.2A.1.4This part of Chapter 2 is applicable to tanks with cone-up or cone-down bottoms, as well as to tanks with at bot

The legs of the tripod shall be heldrm, and steadied by suitable devices such as magnetic bearers.5.3 LASER BEAM EMITTERhaving a low-power laserbeam complying with IEC 825, which is either an integralpart of t

42、he EODR instrument or a separate device. If the laserbeam emitter is a separate device, it may be tted with a beroptic light transmitter system and a theodolite telescope eye-piece connection, by which the laser beam may be transmit-ted through a theodolite, or such that it may be tted to atheodolit

43、e with its axis parallel to the axis of the theodolite.The laser beam may be coincident with the optical axis of thetelescopeNote 1: The laser beam emitter is used to position target points onthe tank shell.5.4 STADIAa rigid bar, usually 2 m long, such that thegraduated length between the two stadia

45、that thevalues of its measurement uncertainty do not exceed the val-ues given in this part of Chapter 2.6.2Tanks shall only be calibrated after they have beenlled at least once with a liquid of density equal to or greaterthan that of the liquid which they will hold when in use.Note 2: The hydrostati

46、c test applied to new tanks will satisfy thisrequirement in most cases.6.3Calibration shall be carried out without interruption.6.4The EODR instrument shall be veried prior to calibration.The accuracy of the distance-measuring unit as well as theangular measuring unit shall be veried using the proce

47、duresrecommended by the manufacturer.The appropriate procedures given in Appendix A shall beused for the verication of equipment in the eld.6.5The tank shall be free from vibration and airborne dustparticles.Note 3: The oor of the tanks should be as free as possible fromdebris, dust and loose scale.
