For the tank shell compensation, the following entities should be 
set: 
Entity name  Default Value Explanation
[Tank shell expansion 
coefficient] 
< 16x10
-6
 [1/°C] > 
Expansion coefficient of the tank shell.  
  Carbon steel:    12x10
-6
 [1/°C] 
  Stainless steel: 16x10
-6
 [1/°C] 
[Tank shell reference 
temperature] 
< 20 [°C] > 
Reference temperature for the tank shell 
compensation 
[Tank shell ambient temperature 
selection] 
< TII-SRV board 
temperature> 
Select the board temperature, magnet 
temperature, the ambient temperature provided by 
a local RTD board or the ambient temperature 
distributed by a CIU. 
[Tank shell vapour ambient ratio]  < 0.5 > 
Ratio of vapour and ambient temperatures for 
calculation of the dry part of the tank shell 
temperature. Refer to table 4 for more information 
on the settings in a particular situation. 
[Tank shell product ambient 
ratio] 
< 0.875 > 
Ratio of product and ambient temperatures for 
calculation of the wet part of the tank shell 
temperature. Refer to table 4 for more information 
on the settings in a particular situation. 
 
Standard values for [Tank shell vapour ambient ratio] and 
[Tank shell product ambient ratio] 
Tank type
 
[Tank shell vapour 
ambient ratio] 
[Tank shell product 
ambient ratio]
 
Fixed roof tank  0.5  0.875 
Fixed roof tank with stilling well *)  1  1 
Insulated fixed roof tank  1  1 
Floating roof tank with stilling well *)  0  1 
Floating roof tank without stilling well  0  1 
 
 
 
*) Here is meant that the SmartServo is installed on the stilling well. 
The stilling well must be fixed at the tank bottom or at the first ring of the tank shell. If the stilling well is fixed at the top of the 
tank, then select the values for entity items [Tank shell vapour ambient ratio] from the tank type without stilling well. 
 
The gauge reference height is compensated for both the wet and dry 
part of the tank shell. The compensated gauge reference height 
[Compensated tank top] is available as a reference for hand 
measurements. 
Note: For proper reference a hand measurement must use the compensated 
gauge reference height and subtract a temperature compensated tape value!
