Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Flat Ends

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

Where:

R = Tank radius in length units

H = Gauge reading, same length units as r

V = Total observed tank volume at gauge reading

EXAMPLE: Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Flat Ends

The vertical cylinder tank with flat ends has the dimensions of 7 ft in diameter. What is the total observed liquid volume for a gauge of 4 ft 3 in?

V = 163.66 ft3 = 29.13 bbls

See Configuring - Cylindrical Vertical Tank with Flat Ends for details on how to configure this tank type.
