Strapping table
The Strapping Table option is used when the tank shape deviates significantly from an ideal
sphere or cylinder, or when high volume accuracy is required.
The Strapping Table divides the tank into segments. Level values and corresponding volumes
are entered at the bottom of the tank. These figures can typically be obtained from tank
drawings or from a certificate provided by the tank manufacturer. A maximum of 20 strapping
points can be entered. For each level value the corresponding total volume up to the specified
level is entered.
The volume value is interpolated if the product surface is between two level values in the table.
Figure 5-5. Strapping Points
Actual tank bottom may look like this.
Using only 3 strapping points results in a level-to-volume profile
that is more angular than the actual shape.
Using 10-15 of the points at the bottom of the tank yields a
level-to-volume profile that is similar to the actual tank bottom.
