Abstract: The origin of the process of tank strapping, the term for measuring the dimensions of tanks required to prepare gauge tables, pre-dates the petroleum and chemical industry by many years. The first tank strappers, as we call them now, were actually Coopers in the Cask making industry. These casks were made of wood staves bound together with metal straps, and were of varying sizes. The product stored was usually liquor, wine, or whale oil.
