n pi: tables prepared by computers to show the calculated number of barrels or cubic metres for any given depth of liquid in a tank. Sometimes called strapping tables.

n: the circumference of the bottom ring of a tank measured by the manual tank strapping method.

n: a device used in tank strapping for measuring the distance apart along the an;of two points on a tank shell where it is not possible to use a strapping tape directly because of an intervening obstruction. e.g., a protruding fitting.

n: the measurement of the external diameter of a vertical or horizontal cylindrical tank by stretching a steel tape around each course of the tanks plates and recording the measurement.

n: an aluminum pole of adjustable length used on several rings of a tank while marking the working tapes path around the tank.

n pi: see gauging tables.

n: a measuring tape graduated in units of length and used for taking the measurement for producing a tank calibration table. Also called tank strapping.

v: to fill a tank completely with a liquid that has the same or greater density as the liquid that will normally be in the tank. Stressing the tank prior to strapping it ensures that the measurements will more accurately reflect the tanks true capacity.

n: the obtaining of several measurements, such as ring circumference, gauge height, and tank height, to determine how much a tank will hold.

n: a table giving the number of barrels of fluid contained in a storage tank that correspond to the linear measurement on a gauge line. Tank tables are prepared from tank strapping measurements. See strap. Also called calibration table, tank capacity table.
