Cannot upload strapping data for small tank

[Former Member]

Currently we are facing the problem that we cannot upload strapping

data which has same volume for different level.

This kind of data is possible in our business case given that some

tanks are sphere tanks and differ of heigh in MM will has same volume and diameter < 1.

The result of calibration of our vendor(SGS) of the tank has same volume for different level even we measure in MM.

Please advise solution / workaround solution which we can let this data be upload and retain correct calculation.

Thank you : )

Hi ,

If the tank is sphere in shape it means that at each level it has two different volume. geometrically you need to take half the volume as the positive reading and rest half as negative so for negative reading made a changes in formula so that system will take only positive answer.

eg. reading is -12 and volume = reading *1.12

so volume = reading *(-1.12) for negative half and for positive half

volume = reading *1.12.

Hi,

You may also check your storage object type., your small tank's characteristics may not have been in line with what was configured for your storage object type. For example, for the object storage type you may have maintined the maximum quantity of 10000 lts, while the max volume in you strapping table is only 7000 liters.
