8. Analytical procedure
8.1 Basic data preparation (Chapter 5)
- 5.1 Capacity table: the oil storage container has been calibrated according to the corresponding standard and has a capacity table meeting the standard requirements. The calibration standards for vertical tanks, horizontal tanks, railway tank cars, road tank cars and tankers shall respectively be GB/T 13235.1~GB/T 13235.3 (or JJG 168), GB/T 17605 (or JJG 266), JJG 140, JJG 133 and MPMS Chapter 2 (Section 8A) (or JJG 702).
- 5.2 Oil product height: accurately measure and record the actual height or ullage of the oil product according to GB/T 13894 or other automatic measurement methods meeting the accuracy requirements; at the same time, the total height of the gauge hatch in the service state and the total height of the gauge hatch indicated on the capacity table shall be measured and recorded as required by actual needs. If free water and sediment exist at the bottom of the container, the heights of free water and bottom sediment shall be measured and recorded.
- 5.3 Measurement temperature: measure and record according to GB/T 8927 or other automatic measurement methods meeting the accuracy requirements, and finally obtain the average measurement temperature of the oil in the tank or compartment.
- 5.7 Ambient air temperature: see Section 6.
- 5.8 Additional data for tankers: a) forward draft reading; b) aft draft reading; c) list.
8.2 Calculation of gross observed volume (Chapter 6)
- 6.1 Vertical cylindrical tanks: according to formula (1) V_go = [(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh] − V_frd. For floating roof tanks, the floating roof displacement volume V_frd shall be deducted; in China, mass is usually used as the basis for settlement of bulk oil products, so the floating roof displacement is also deducted by mass, that is, the last subtraction term in formula (1) is omitted, but in this case V_go includes the floating roof displacement volume and does not have the actual meaning of oil product volume, and is only used as an intermediate variable in oil quantity calculation.
- 6.1.2 Total observed volume: use the oil product height measured by 5.2 to look up the tank capacity table and obtain the calibrated volume at the corresponding height. When the tank capacity table is compiled separately according to empty tank volume and liquid hydrostatic expansion volume, calculate according to formula (2) V_to = V_t + ΔV_t × ρ_w/ρ_t. V_t is the empty tank volume; ΔV_t is the volume expansion value obtained from the liquid hydrostatic pressure volume correction table; ρ_t is the calibration liquid density used when compiling the hydrostatic pressure volume correction table, usually the density of water; ρ_w is the measured density of the working liquid during tank operation, which can be obtained by multiplying the standard density ρ_20 by the volume correction factor VCF at the measurement temperature. For the actual liquid height measured directly or indirectly by dip tape or automatic level gauge, the influence of oil product temperature on the dip tape reading and the total height of the gauge hatch shall be considered; before using the liquid height to look up the tank capacity table, correction shall be made by referring to the method recommended in Appendix C.
- 6.1.3 Deduction of free water (FW) and tank bottom sediment: before and after oil transfer, the quantities of free water and tank bottom sediment shall be determined so as to make appropriate corrections to the gross observed volume. The volume to be deducted can be determined by using the depths of free water and sediment to look up the tank capacity table.
- 6.1.4 Influence of tank wall temperature on calibrated volume (CTSh): according to formula (3) CTSh = 1 + 2α(T_s − 20). α is the linear expansion coefficient of the tank wall material (for low carbon steel take α = 0.000 012), ℃⁻¹; T_s is the tank wall temperature at the time of tank measurement, ℃. For insulated tanks T_s = T_L; for uninsulated tanks according to formula (4) T_s = [(7×T_L)+T_a]/8. Note: correcting the calibrated volume of the tank with the tank wall temperature correction factor is unrelated to the correction for calculating the volume expansion or contraction of the product itself; according to special needs, the tank wall temperature correction factor may also be compiled into the tank capacity table according to a specific working temperature.
- 6.1.5 Floating roof correction: 6.1.5.1 usually the floating roof correction is not directly compiled into the tank capacity table, but is deducted later in the oil quantity calculation. 6.1.5.2 Deduction by volume: V_frd = m_fr / [WCF × VCF] (formula 5), m_fr is the apparent mass of the floating roof, and the unit of WCF shall correspond to the unit of the apparent mass of the floating roof. 6.1.5.3 Deduction by mass: when calculating the gross observed volume in a vertical cylindrical tank with a floating roof, the floating roof displacement volume may not be deducted, but the apparent mass of the floating roof is deducted when calculating the gross apparent mass of the oil product. Note: if the liquid level falls in the interval from the lowest point of the floating roof to the floating point, the floating roof correction is inaccurate, and the corresponding data are not suitable for measurement handover; the above floating roof correction is not applicable to oil quantity calculation below the lowest point of the floating roof.
- 6.2 Tankers: according to formula (6) V_go = V_to − V_fw; if the correction for tanker trim or list is a volume correction value, then according to formula (7) V_go = (V_to ± trim or list correction) − V_fw.
- 6.2.2 Total observed volume V_to Three ways of looking up the table: when the trim and/or list correction is a volume adjustment, first use the measured ullage or actual height to look up the table to obtain V_to, and add the correction value to V_to; look up the table using the ullage or actual height corrected for trim and/or list to obtain V_to; some capacity tables already give V_to values varying with different trims at the same gauging height, and V_to can be obtained by looking up the table using the measured ullage or actual height and the tanker trim.
- 6.2.3 Trim correction: The trim is expressed as the result of subtracting the forward draft reading from the aft draft reading. A positive trim (the aft draft reading is larger) is called "trim by the stern"; a negative trim (the forward draft reading is larger) is called "trim by the bow". The trim correction value may be positive or negative; the trim correction table specifies the specific use of the correction value; when the tank capacity table does not provide a trim correction value, it may be calculated by referring to formula (8) and Figure 1: S_r = S × √(D² + ... )/LBP − D × (T/LBP)² ± L × (T/LBP) (source-text extraction Doubt: the expression inside the radical in formula (8) source-text extraction is incomplete, requires confirmation against the source standard (source-text extraction)). D is the tank height measured from the reference point; S is the gauging height; L is the distance from the gauging hatch to the tank centerline; S_r is the trim-corrected gauging height; LBP is the length between perpendiculars; T is the tanker trim. When trimmed by the stern, the last term should be added at gauging positions offset from the centerline toward the bow, and subtracted toward the stern; when trimmed by the bow, the opposite applies. When the liquid level in the tank does not reach the forward end, a wedge shape is formed, and using the trim correction will no longer give the true gauging height; the volume of the wedge-shaped oil product may be calculated by referring to Appendix D.
- 6.2.4 List correction: The tanker list value is usually read with an inclinometer; if there is no inclinometer or its accuracy is doubted, the list may be calculated from the draft readings at the port and starboard sides amidships. Example: port draft PA = 10.0 m, starboard draft SB = 12.0 m, hull width XY = 30.0 m, tanθ = (starboard draft − port draft)/hull width = (12.0−10.0)/30 = 0.066 7, θ = 4° (rounded to 0.5°), that is, the tanker is listed to starboard by 4°. The list correction value is used in the same way as the trim correction value; the list correction value may be positive or negative, and the list correction table specifies the specific use; when the tank capacity table does not provide a list correction value, it may be calculated by referring to Appendix E.
- 6.2.5 Combined correction for list and trim: In most cases the two corrections are applicable only when one of them is absent, so list correction and trim correction should preferably not be used in combination; when both conditions exist, one of them should be eliminated as far as possible. For the calculation method of the combined correction, see Appendix E.
- 6.2.6 Volume of free water: The volume may be obtained by looking up the tank capacity table using the actual height or ullage of the free water. Any liquid in the tank will be affected by trim and list; if the free water touches all tank walls, the trim and list corrections cited above also apply to it; if the free water does not touch all tank walls, the liquid in the tank exists as a wedge-shaped volume, and the above trim correction no longer applies. For the rules for determining whether a wedge-shaped volume exists, the application of wedge tables/formulas, and the calculation of wedge-shaped volume, see Appendix D or Chapter 17.4 of the American Petroleum Institute Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards.
- 6.3 Horizontal metal tanks, railway tank cars and road tank cars: According to formula (9) V_go = [(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh]. The calibrated volume V_t of the tank at the corresponding height at standard temperature may be obtained by looking up the tank capacity table using the oil product height; if the oil product height lies between tabulated heights, interpolation may be used for calculation. For such small tanks, the expansion effect of liquid static pressure may be disregarded, and the total metered volume is approximately equal to the calibrated volume (V_to = V_t). The volumes of free water and bottom sediment are deducted by the same method as for 6.1.3. The correction coefficient for the effect of tank wall temperature on the calibrated volume and the tank wall temperature are determined by the same method as for vertical cylindrical tanks, and the liquid level measured by the gauging tape is corrected by referring to C.2.
- 6.4 Other containers: On the basis of obtaining the gross metered volume of the internal liquid V_go, continue the calculation from Chapter 7.
8.3 Calculation of gross standard volume (Chapter 7)
- 7.1 Volume correction factor: According to GB/T 1885, VCF is obtained by looking up the volume correction factor table for the corresponding oil product using the metering temperature of the oil product determined by 5.3 and the standard density determined by 5.5.
- 7.2 Gross standard volume: According to formula (10) V_gs = V_go × VCF.
8.4 Sediment and water (Chapter 8)
- According to formula (11) CSW = 1 − SW%. Unless required by trade or there are other special requirements, petroleum products are usually not corrected for sediment and water; in this case the net standard volume equals the gross standard volume. Note: SW% has two determination modes, volume fraction and mass fraction, and the choice of which to use should be based on whether the oil quantity calculation is based on volume or on mass.
8.5 Calculation of net standard volume (Chapter 9)
- According to formula (12) V_ns = V_gs × CSW; according to formula (13) V_sw = V_gs − V_ns. Note: If only the apparent mass of the oil product is ultimately required, the gross apparent mass m_g may also be calculated directly from the gross standard volume V_gs according to Section 10, and the net apparent mass m_n is obtained by deducting sediment and water from the gross apparent mass by mass fraction; this calculation step may be omitted.
8.6 Calculation of apparent mass (Chapter 10)
- 10.1 Overview: Multiplying V_gs or V_ns by WCF gives the gross apparent mass m_g or net apparent mass m_n of the oil product.
- 10.2 Floating roof displacement and sediment and water already deducted by volume: According to formula (14) m_n = V_ns × WCF.
- 10.3 Correction of floating roof displacement and sediment and water by mass: According to formula (15) m_g = V_gs × WCF − m_fr; according to formula (16) m_n = m_g × CSW; according to formula (17) m_sw = m_g − m_n.
8.7 Calculation of mass (mass in vacuum) (Chapter 11)
- For crude oil and its products, mass is usually preferably calculated by multiplying V_gs and V_ns by the standard density ρ_20. However, mass may also be calculated by multiplying the density at the same metering temperature by the volume; in this case the volume should be the gross metered volume V_go, and the density is generally calculated using VCF obtained by looking up the volume correction factor table in GB/T 1885 from the metering temperature and standard density, together with the standard density. Petrochemical products usually use the latter method to calculate quantity. Note: For petrochemical products, the density temperature coefficient should generally first be known or measured, and the density at the metering temperature is calculated from the density temperature coefficient and the known density, and then the mass is calculated.
8.8 Direct mass calculation (Chapter 12)
- Some metering methods determine mass by measuring liquid static pressure rather than liquid level, such as hydrostatic tank gauging systems. The calculation methods they use may include corrections for the effect of temperature on the liquid, the effect of liquid density on the floating roof, or the effect of temperature on the tank wall. In such cases, these corrections should not be repeated. For their calculation methods, see GB/T 18273.
8.9 Calculation sequence (Chapter 13)
- 13.1 Overview: If all the basic data required for calculating the net oil quantity are already available, one of the following calculation procedures may be selected according to the transfer agreement for the calculation. The methods for obtaining the basic data are outside the scope of this standard. During calculation, deductions not applicable to special occasions are taken as zero deductions, and any correction not applicable is fixed at 1.000 0. For the calculation flow of oil product inventory and transfer quantity, see Appendix F.
- 13.2 Volume-based calculation procedure: a) Look up the tank capacity table using the total oil and water height to obtain the total metered volume V_to; b) Deduct the free water volume V_fw obtained by looking up the tank capacity table using the free water height; c) Apply the correction coefficient CTSh for the effect of tank wall temperature to obtain the gross metered volume V_go; d) For floating roof tanks, the floating roof displacement volume V_frd should also be deducted from it; e) Correct the gross metered volume V_go to standard temperature to obtain the gross standard volume V_gs; f) Correct the gross standard volume V_gs with the correction value CSW for sediment and water (SW) to obtain the net standard volume V_ns; g) If the net apparent mass m_n of the oil product is required, it may be obtained by multiplying the net standard volume V_ns by the apparent mass conversion factor WCF.
- 13.3 Mass-based calculation procedure: a) Look up the tank capacity table using the total oil and water height to obtain the total metered volume V_to; b) Deduct the free water volume V_fw obtained by looking up the tank capacity table using the free water height; c) Apply the correction coefficient CTSh for the effect of tank wall temperature to obtain the gross metered volume V_go; d) Correct the gross metered volume V_go to standard temperature to obtain the gross standard volume V_gs; e) Multiply the gross standard volume V_gs by the apparent mass conversion factor WCF, then subtract the apparent mass of the floating roof m_fr to obtain the gross apparent mass m_g of the oil product; f) Correct the gross apparent mass m_g of the oil product with the correction value CSW for sediment and water (SW) to obtain the net apparent mass m_n of the oil product. Note: In the apparent-mass-based calculation procedure, because the floating roof displacement is deducted when calculating the gross apparent mass of the oil product, the gross metered volume and gross standard volume involved in c) and d) include the floating roof displacement volume. Dividing the net apparent mass m_n by the apparent mass conversion factor WCF gives the net standard volume V_ns indirectly.
- 13.4 Summary of oil quantity calculation formulas:
- 13.4.1 Volume-based: V_gs = {[(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh] − V_frd} × VCF (formula 18); V_ns = V_gs × CSW; m_n = V_ns × WCF.
- 13.4.2 Mass-based: m_g = {[(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh] × VCF × WCF} − m_fr (formula 19); m_n = m_g × CSW; V_ns = m_n/WCF (formula 20).
- 13.5 Rounding method: In the above steps for calculating the quantity of oil, only the final result of the oil quantity shall be rounded. If intermediate results must be reported, data rounding shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5, but the rounded results shall not be inserted into the calculation process for use. For examples of oil quantity calculation for shore tanks and oil tankers, see Appendix F.

| What is not applicable? | Calculation of oil quantities for wall-clinging oil, non-liquid substances, trace residual oil and oil-vapor space |
| Basis for numerical rounding? | GB/T 8170; when there are no other restrictions, round according to the number of decimal places specified in Table 1 |
| Formula for tank wall temperature correction coefficient? | CTSh = 1 + 2α(T_s − 20), for low-carbon steel α = 0.000 012 ℃⁻¹ |
| Formula for tank wall temperature of uninsulated tanks? | T_s = [(7×T_L)+T_a]/8 |
| Value of tank wall temperature for insulated tanks? | T_s = T_L |
| What value is taken for the air buoyancy correction? | 1.1 kg/m³, or 0.001 1 g/cm³ |
| Formula for gross standard volume? | V_gs = V_go × VCF |
| Formula for sediment and water correction factor? | CSW = 1 − SW% |
| Formula for net standard volume? | V_ns = V_gs × CSW |
| Definition of apparent mass conversion factor? | The factor for converting oil from standard volume to apparent mass in air, equal to standard density minus the air buoyancy correction |
| Formula for floating roof displacement volume (deducted by volume)? | V_frd = m_fr / [WCF × VCF] |
| Volume-based summary formula? | V_gs = {[(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh] − V_frd} × VCF |
| Mass-based summary formula? | m_g = {[(V_to − V_fw) × CTSh] × VCF × WCF} − m_fr |
| How are inapplicable items handled in calculation? | Inapplicable deductions are treated as zero deductions, and any inapplicable correction is fixed at 1.000 0 |
| Can intermediate results be rounded before being used in calculation? | No, only the final result of the oil quantity is rounded; the rounded result must not be inserted into the calculation process for use |
| What should a measurement ticket include? | Name and number of measuring instruments, operation date and time, density before and after the operation, sediment and water, liquid level height, free water height, oil temperature and ambient temperature, free water volume, net standard volume, net apparent mass, net standard volume and/or apparent mass of oil received and dispatched |
| Rules on alteration of measurement tickets? | Unless agreed by both buyer and seller, alteration is prohibited; if an error occurs, mark it as "void" and prepare a new ticket, and attach the void ticket to the new ticket; an alternative method is to prepare an adjustment ticket for the corrected difference |
| Which standard is referred to for direct mass calculation? | GB/T 18273 |
| Which annexes are referred to for tanker trim/list correction? | Annex D (calculation of bottom oil OBQ/ residual oil ROB), Annex E (tanker trim and list correction) |
| What are the informative annexes? | Annexes A, B, C, D, E, F are all informative annexes |
