Types of Tank gaugingTypes of Tank gauging
 Servo
 Hydrostatic
 Radar

Servo gaugesServo gauges
 Static force transducer, which
continuously measures the
weight of the displacer,
controlling the position of a
grooved drum
 Density and interface
measurement (for clean
products only)
 Specialized maintenance
required.

Hydrostatic tank gaugesHydrostatic tank gauges
 Hydrostatic pressure,
measured near the bottom of
the tank.
Direct innage
measurement
No standpipe required
No moving parts
Accurate direct mass
measurement ( + 0.1%)
 Density = (P1 - P2) / H
 L = C + [ P1 / Density ]
c

Radar type level transmitterRadar type level transmitter.
 The time delay between a
transmitted and reflected
microwave signal is used
to measure the distance
between the gauge and
the liquid surface.
 D = t/2c
Where: t = time of
flight & c = speed of
light (c = 186,000
miles/sec )
 No moving parts
 No contact with the liquid
 High level accuracy of +/-
1 mm

Tank dippingTank dipping
 It is performed by lowering a
tape covered with paste
through the dip pipe of the
tank and determining the
ullage on basis of the location
of the colour change of the
paste.
 Accuracy at best +/- 2 mm
which is twice as inaccurate
as the other tank gauging
methods.

 Provision for inline validation/proving of the flow
meters
 Verification of the complete system against
standard instead of electronics/sensor calibration
only as in case of ordinary flow meters.

A reliable flow measurement system should consist
of
 Accurate flow meters with pressure, temperature
and density compensation
 Tantalization of the flow over a period of time/in a
batch - gross volume, gross standard volume,
gross mass

Custody Transfer MeasurementsCustody Transfer Measurements
Following type of flow meters/systems have been
accepted as suitable for custody transfer
metering by the oil & gas industry based on their
performance, accuracy, repeatability and
reliability:
(1) Mass Flow meters
(2) Turbine Meters
(3) Positive Displacement Meters
(4) Ultrasonic Meters
(5) Automatic Tank Gauging

Turbine meterTurbine meter
 More compact then
other meters.
 Widely accepted for
Custody transfer.
 Greater maximum flow
range for low viscous
refined products.

Turbine meterTurbine meter
 Requires straight run
or straightening
vanes.
 Relatively high
pressure drop /
cavitations.

Positive Displacement metersPositive Displacement meters
 measures the flow of
the fluid directly.
 It sweeps out a known
volume every cycle
and therefore the flow
is this volume
multiplied by the
cycles per second.

 Very good Linearity.
 No straight run or
straightening vanes.
 Good for heavy viscous
products.

CTM CalibrationCTM Calibration
In-line calibration method
• In-line calibration method is usually applied for
the calibration of custody transfer meters without
disturbing the product flow to/from units,
buyer/seller
• Calibration shall be done at the conditions same
as at the time of product flow i.e., same
temperature/ pressure/density/flow rate

CTM CalibrationCTM Calibration
Off-line calibration method
• Custody Transfer flow meter removal &
calibration at FCRI.

Meter Factor ( MF )Meter Factor ( MF )
 Reference API Chapter 12.2
 Meter calibrated against a reference called
Prover
 MF ratio of Prover to Metered volume
 Metered volumes compensated or corrected for
pressures and temperatures on steel ( 1,3 )
and liquid ( 2,4 )
 MF may be re defined as follows:
[ V * C1 * C2 * C3 * C4 ]P
MF = --------------------------------

Master Meter ProverMaster Meter Prover
 Reference API Chapter 4.5
 Indirect method of proving
 Any existing meter with same or better accuracy,
can be used as a master meter and dedicated to
proving service only – used infrequently resulting
in less wear & tear
 Operates in series with custody meter and shall
give gross volumes without corrections
 A minimum of two minutes flow and 10,000 pulse
output from meter is desired

Prover calibrationProver calibration
Proving Of Prover
• W & M Approved Third party
• Once in 3 years for portable provers and once
in 5 years for fixed provers
• Reliance proved its provers in Jan 2005 by
Shell Global Solutions, Malaysia.

ATG Vs CTMATG Vs CTM
 When factors, such as capital costs and
operating expenses, are weighed, tank gauging
may be a better choice for large displacements
as the errors are within the limitations.
 However for small displacements Custody flow
metering with compensation is better solution.
