Configuration Parameters
Volume
Calculation Method Select method for volume calculation based on tank shape or
a strapping table. Strapping table requires entering
level-volume pairs in a table.
Diameter (L1) The diameter of the tank.
Length (L2) The length (or height if the tank is shaped as a vertical
cylinder) of the tank, measured between tank ends.
Strapping Table Use a strapping table if a standard tank type does not provide
sufficient accuracy. Use most of the strapping points in
regions where the tank shape is non-linear. A maximum of 20
points can be added to the strapping table.
If tank type Strapping Table was chosen, enter how many
entries you will use and the actual level and volume points.
The strapping points must be entered such that the first point
corresponds to the lowest level, and the last point
corresponds to the topmost level of the tank.
Actual tank bottom may look like this
Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume
profile that is more angular than the actual shape
Using 6 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a
level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom
