Inventory:

  • Shape of the tank → level-to-volume algorithm.
  • Liquid in the tank.
  • Liquid properties.
  • Temperature.
  • Type of level instrument.
  • Its location in the tank.
  • Its output signal.
  • Etc.

None of which can be seen from here.

I have used this software in the past and found it acceptable. You can program it with your strapping chart and connect it to a PLC, liquid and fuel level gauges to obtain real time monitoring of fuel levels in all of your tanks.

If you need strapping charts, you may have to contact the contractor or obtain construction records. New strapping charts can be created by filling the tank through a calibrated meter and recording the quantity at 1/8 inch levels. There are other methods of determining the strapping charts utilizing mathematical means (as PWSlack offered)
