Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Conical End

For the Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Conical End, the gauge reading is converted to the total observed volume using the following equation.

For H £ D

For H > D

Where:

R = Tank radius in length units

D = Cone height, same length units as R

H = Gauge reading, same length units as R

Vv = Total observed volume of the main cylinder for gauge reading

Vvh = Total observed volume of conical head for gauge reading

V = Total observed tank volume at gauge reading

EXAMPLE: Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Conical End

The cylindrical vertical tank with a conical end has the dimensions of 6ft in diameter and a conical head of height 3 ft. What is the total observed liquid volume for a gauge of 4 ft 3 in?

For H > D

Vv = 35.57 ft3

Vvh = 28.92 ft3

V = 35.57 + 28.29 = 63.66 ft3 = 11.33 bbls

The cylindrical vertical tank with a conical end has the dimensions of 6 ft in diameter and a conical head of height 3ft. What is the total observed liquid volume for a gauge of 2 ft?

For H ≤ D

Vv = 0 ft3

Vvh = 8.38 ft3

V = 0 + 8.38 = 8.38 ft3 = 1.49 bbls
