8.2.3 Hydrostatic Deformation Correction Volume - HyDC Vol
L00-NXA82xxx-16-00-00-xx-095
The Hydrostatic Deformation Correction Volume is the real from the product fill level created
hydrostatic volume.
It is calculated by correcting the VSP with the ratio of the density of the product versus the
water density.
ρ
20 Reference Density at 20 °C (68 °F)
ρ
w4 Water Density at 4°C (39°F)
The reference density of the Product can be calculated (if not known) with the Observed
Density, the Product/Sample Temperature and the Reference Density Table for the Product.
8.2.4 Total Observed Volume - TOV
L00-NXA82xxx-16-00-00-xx-097
The Total Observed Volume is calculated from the Calculated Gauge Volume and the
Hydrostatic Deformation Correction Volume.
Two more information can be derived from TCT and level:
• Remaining Capacity (RemCap) shows how much more product could be pumped into the
tank safely
• Available Volume (AvailVol) indicates how much product could be pumped out of the tank
to the lowest (defined) possible point e.g. the tank outlet.
8.2.5 Free Water Volume - FWV
L00-NXA82xxx-16-00-00-xx-098
In some cases the tank can also contain water. It can derive from the delivered crude oil, the
processing or by tank breating.
The (innage) water level information together with a Water Tank Capacity Table (W-TCT)
result in the Free Water Volume. It is subtracted from the TOV.
