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

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.

n: a device that measures and indicates the amount of pulling force (tension) being put on pipe, a tape measure, etc. In tank strapping, the strapping crew attaches a tension gauge to the measuring tape they use to determine a tanks circumference. Knowing how much tension to apply to the tape is essential to accurate measurement because the same amount of tension must be applied to the tape each time they make a measurement.
