Tank Strapping Method

I'm not sure of the meaning of the question, but my guess is that one uses geometry and/or calculus to compute the volume of liquid at various levels.

Pick up the phone and ring Enraf?

The best way to validate a strapping table is to repeat the procedure used to create the original strapping table: empty the tank, then fill it incrementally measuring volume of fluid into the tank simultaneously with liquid level inside the tank (or start with a full tank and do the same metering liquid out of it). The purpose of a strapping table is to have a set of values correlating known liquid volume inside the tank with known height (level) of liquid inside the tank, so that a level-sensing instrument such as a radar gauge may be used to infer stored liquid volume. A strapping table is literally a "look-up" table relating liquid height with liquid volume, and is specific to the tank not the level-sensing instrument.

To perform a live volume/level test of the tank, you will need some way of accurately measuring how much liquid goes into or out of the tank. This may require you temporarily connect a volumetric flow meter to the test piping so you have an accurate means to measure liquid in/out of the tank.

One could try to use calculus to compute tank volume at different liquid levels, but the presence of obstructions inside the tank (baffles, mixers, ladders, etc.) displacing liquid volume makes this a complicated task. Irregularities in the tank's shape (e.g. if it's not a perfect cylinder) will also cause errors in a computed table based on linear dimensions.

Thank you very much

Dear Sukamaran,

There is no any word related to stapping for enraf, its strapping table or chart. means strapping table used for your enraf gauge setting. strapping table consist height (level) against volume. this volume we need to set in enraf as per various level from zero to max working level.
