Tank Calibration
Services (Tank Strapping)
HMT
Inspection provides tank calibration, commonly
known as "Tank Strapping". This is the term applied to the
procedure for measurement of storage tanks, barges, ships,
and/or any liquid bulk container. These measurements provide the
necessary dimensions for calculation of capacity tables. Our
services meet and exceed all API Standards for tank calibration.

Storage Tank Calibration
|
Considerations for calibration of storage tank:
-
Newly Constructed
-
After any structural modifications
-
In conjunction with an API 653 Inspection
-
Minimal 15 years intervals as recommended by API
Considerations for re-computations of calibration chart
-
Change in service products reflecting different
gravities
-
Change in floating roof weight or leg position
-
Reference gauge height variation

Liquid
Calibration
by
Positive Displacement Meter
|
Liquid Calibration by Positive Displacement Meter is the
most preferred method to determine quantities through irregular floor
areas and through the floating roof critical zone. This is standard
procedures for tank trailer calibration and railroad car calibration. |
Barge and Ship Calibration
Should you be building a new barge, modifying an
existing barge, or changing to a new gauging system that may
require calibration charts,
HMT
is ready to obtain the data needed to perform
this work efficiently to eliminate any downtime and keep your
equipment working for you.
Certification
HMT
Inspection's written Policy and Procedure Manual
for tank calibration assures all tank calibration work is
performed in a uniform manner. All tank calibration work
performed by
HMT
Inspection is done in strict accordance with the
latest American Petroleum Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum
Measurements Standard and/or International Organization of
Standardization (ISO) Standards and sound engineering
principles.
All Tank Calibration work is performed in house including all
calculation and chart production. Once the calibration chart is
complete, it is verified and signed by the calibration manager,
ensuring that all measurements and computations have been
performed in accordance with the above standards.
Sample Chart
HMT
Inspection can customize calibration charts to
meet your needs. Options include, innage or ullage, feet and
inches, decimal feet, or metric units.
HMT's
calibration department is managed by a team with
over fifty combined years of tank calibration experience and
whose names are recognized within the calibration industry. This
experience, along with HMT's API 653 certified field
technicians, will guarantee accurate field measurements and a
quick turn-around time.
