Tank calibration

A well-calibrated tank gauge benefits forecourt owners by providing accurate, on-demand stock readings. If the tank gauge is poorly calibrated, it may result in fuel losses going unnoticed, which could ultimately impact the profitability of the business.

There are different ways of calibrating a tank:

Using a 3D laser scanner
Using the tank measurements to create a new strapping table
Using water

In most cases, 3D laser calibration is the most effective method and is the one recommended by TSG.

What impacts the calibration of a tank gauge?

There are many factors that can affect the accuracy of a tank gauge. Over time, underground tanks are subjected to large amounts of pressure from the earth under which they are buried, which can cause the tank to become warped or dented, or may result in the tank moving from its original position. Subsidence can also affect calibration, causing data to corrupt.

ProGauge 3D laser

The 3D Laser Scan Automatic Tank Calibration is our most advanced tank calibration service. This solution uses state-of-the-art technology to accurately determine the exact volume of liquid in fuel tanks, producing a detailed representation of the inside of any underground tank, regardless of the presence of any flammable liquids or vapours. The 3D laser scanner is then able to automatically provide a precise strapping table, which once uploaded to the automatic tank gauge (“ATG”), provides an accurate and comprehensive reconciliation report of the fuel stock on site.

Advantages:

Automatic strapping table creation
Laser points cloud technology
High-speed scanning*
Safe ATEX – no need to de-gas the tank
Easy to manage and set up
Environmentally friendly, with no need to use fuels or other liquids to perform calibration
Suitable for use with any underground tank
