Steel tanks
Steel tank or battery tanks group,
mostly single-walled tanks:
Linear side panels, w. hemicycles at top a. bottom.
Bearing chart
(input of 1
special chart)
Value input
from an
existing
bearing chart
for the tank
Reference table: Basic value table with up to
15 pairs of values ‘cm => liter’ for the non-linear
regions of the tank.
Step 4 (Tank volume) and Step 5 (Tank height)
have to be set up beforehand.
Value pairs for 0% ( 0.0 cm => 0 L) and 100%
(tank height => volume) are already set and
do not have to be entered again.
Index [1] xxx.x cm => xxxx L
Index [2] . . . . . cm => . . . . L
Index [n] . . . . . cm => . . . . L
Non-linear region: Enter several value pairs.
Linear region: Enter only begin and end pairs.
Unsymmetrical or
other tank shape.
