Method of calculating oil

1. Ullage Corrected Ullage Gross Observed Volume (G.O.V.) from tank calibration
tables.

2. From TABLE 54-B, under the given Specific Gravity/Density at 150 C by the oil supplier,
choose the V.C.F. (Volume Correction Factor) with relation to prevailing tank temperature. For
e.g.,
If the Specific Gravity/Density at 150 C of oil is 0.884, and the temperature is say 260 C, then
referring to Table 54B, page 212, under 884.0 (i.e. 0.884), and in line with Temp. 260 C, the
Volume Correction Factor (V.C.F.) is 0.9913.
Then
Gross Observed Volume (G.O.V.) x Volume Correction Factor (V.C.F.) = Gross Standard
Volume (G.S.V.)

3. From TABLE 56, under the Sp. Gr./Density at 150 C, choose the Weight Correction Factor
(W.C.F.) in vacuum condition.

4. For e.g., for 0.884 (Sp. Gr./Density at 150C), W.C.F. (in vacuum) = 0.99875.
Then;
Gr. Stand. Vol. (G.S.V.) x W.C.F. (in vacuum) x Sp. Gr./Density at 150C = Weight in M.T.
