Abstract: This paper will discuss several field measurement methods that are presently in use to calibrate upright, above ground, cylindrical, cone and floating roof steel storage tanks. Tank calibration is often referred to as tank strapping due to the original method of placing metal straps around wooden containers used for the storage of oils. Over the years, as the price of crude oil and petroleum products has increased, storage facilities, and the accurate measurement of oil in storage, has become very important. Today we have storage tanks as large as 1,500,000 barrels in volume and therefore, one can see how important the accurate calibration of a storage tank can be. Any errors made at the calibration stage will cause errors in the final tank table.
