Petroleum and liquid petroleum products — Calibration of vertical cylindrical tanks — Part 1: Strapping method

ISO 7507-1:2003 specifies a method for the calibration of substantially vertical cylindrical tanks by measuring the tank using a strapping tape. This method is known as the strapping method and is suitable for use as a working method, a reference method or a referee method. The operation of strapping, the corrections to be made and the calculations leading to the compilation of the tank capacity table are described. This method does not apply to abnormally deformed, e.g. dented or non-circular, tanks. This method is suitable for tilted tanks with a deviation of up to 3 % from the vertical, provided that a correction for the measured tilt is applied in the calculations.

Pétrole et produits pétroliers liquides — Jaugeage des réservoirs cylindriques verticaux — Partie 1: Méthode par ceinturage

L'ISO 7507-1:2003 spécifie une méthode permettant de jauger les réservoirs cylindriques pratiquement verticaux par mesurage avec un ruban de ceinturage. Cette méthode connue sous le nom de «méthode par ceinturage» convient tant comme méthode de travail que comme méthode de référence ou encore comme méthode d'arbitrage. Les opérations de ceinturage à mettre en oeuvre ainsi que les corrections et les calculs à effectuer pour élaborer un barème de jaugeage de réservoir sont décrits. La présente méthode ne s'applique pas aux réservoirs anormalement déformés, par exemple les réservoirs bosselés ou non circulaires. Cette méthode convient pour les réservoirs dont l'inclinaison par rapport à la verticale n'excède pas 3 %, à condition qu'une correction soit apportée aux calculs pour tenir compte de l'inclinaison mesurée.

Предисловие
Международная организация по стандартизации (ISO) является всемирной федерацией национальных
организаций по стандартизации (комитетов-членов ISO). Разработка международных стандартов
обычно осуществляется техническими комитетами ISO. Каждый комитет-член, заинтересованный в
деятельности, для которой был создан технический комитет, имеет право быть представленным в этом
комитете. Международные правительственные и неправительственные организации, имеющие связи с
ISO, также принимают участие в работах. Что касается стандартизации в области электротехники, то
ISO работает в тесном сотрудничестве с Международной электротехнической комиссией (IEC).
Проекты международных стандартов разрабатываются в соответствии с правилами, установленными в
Директивах ISO/IEC, Часть 2.
Основная задача технических комитетов заключается в подготовке международных стандартов.
Проекты международных стандартов, принятые техническими комитетами, рассылаются комитетам-
членам на голосование. Их опубликование в качестве международных стандартов требует одобрения
не менее 75 % комитетов-членов, принимающих участие в голосовании.
Следует иметь в виду, что некоторые элементы настоящего международного стандарта могут быть
объектом патентных прав. ISO не может нести ответственность за идентификацию какого-либо одного
или всех патентных прав.

4 Меры предосторожности
4.1 Введение
В настоящем разделе описываются меры предосторожности, которые должны приниматься при
калибровке резервуаров. Меры предосторожности, необходимые для обеспечения безопасности
оператора, рассматриваются отдельно от мер предосторожности, предпринимаемых для обеспечения
необходимой точности, требуемой при калибровке резервуаров.
4.2 Общие меры предосторожности
4.2.1 При проведении калибровки резервуаров для хранения нефтепродуктов требуется наивысшая
осторожность и внимание.
4.2.2 Все измерения должны тщательно контролироваться и записываться, при этом необходимые
поправки должны записываться отдельно. Если в процессе калибровки зафиксированы необычные
события, то они должны быть документально оформлены, а калибровка в случае необходимости
проведена повторно.
4.2.3 Если резервуар только слегка деформирован, должны быть проведены дополнительные
измерения, позволяющие удовлетворительно рассчитать таблицу емкостей. Если такие
дополнительные измерения необходимы, в записях калибровщика должны быть указаны причины их
проведения.
Калибровщику также рекомендуется предоставлять эскизы с размерами, показывающие
несоответствия резервуара или его конструкций, влияющие на калибровку.
ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ Серьезно деформированные резервуары наилучшим образом калибруются с использованием
жидкостных методов калибровки, аналогичных методу, описанному в международном стандарте ISO 4269.
4.2.4 Для обеспечения точности и повторяемости показаний сгустки краски, осадки и т. д., возможно
мешающие проведению измерений, должны быть удалены или же положение измерительного
оборудования должно быть соответствующим образом отрегулировано.
4.2.5 Если имеются чертежи резервуара, все соответствующие измерения должны сравниваться с
соответствующими размерами, приведенными на чертежах. Любое измерение, обнаруживающее в
результате такого сравнения существенное отклонение, должно указываться в отчете и при
необходимости выполняться повторно.
4.2.6 Если калибровка резервуара прерывается, то она может быть возобновлена в дальнейшем
при условии, что:
a) при внесении изменений в оборудование и смене персонала будет проведено достаточное
количество контрольных измерений с тем, чтобы результаты, полученные до внесения указанных
изменений, соответствовали допускам, установленным в данном методе;
b) все произведенные записи являются полными и разборчивыми;
c) объем жидкости остается неизменным при по существу том же уровне;
6 © ISO 2003 – Все права сохраняются

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 7507-1:2003(R)
d) средние значения температуры жидкости и воздуха находятся в пределах 10 °С от среднего
значения температуры жидкости и воздуха до прерывания калибровки.
4.3 Правила техники безопасности
4.3.1 Правила техники безопасности, приведенные в 4.3.2 – 4.3.6, устанавливают хорошую практику,
но их список необязательно является полным. Рекомендуется, чтобы этот список читался вместе с
соответствующими разделами применимых правил техники безопасности. Меры предосторожности
должны предприниматься, если они не противоречат законодательным требованиям, которые должны
всегда выполняться.
4.3.2 Все правила, касающиеся входа в опасную зону, должны строго соблюдаться.
4.3.3 Если обмеряемый резервуар содержит нефтепродукт, необходимо обратить внимание на
обычные правила техники безопасности, которые распространяются на такие резервуары.
4.3.4 Перед входом в резервуар, находившийся в эксплуатации, в соответствии с местными или
национальными правилами необходимо получить сертификат на безопасный вход, выдаваемый в
соответствии с местными или национальными правилами. Все трубопроводы, входящие в резервуар,
должны быть отсоединены и заглушены. Национальные или местные правила, касающиеся входа в
резервуары, содержащие этилированное топливо, должны тщательно соблюдаться.
4.3.5 Переносные лампы должны принадлежать типу ламп, утвержденных для использования во
взрывоопасных окружающих условиях.
4.3.6 Безопасность работающего персонала должна защищаться, при этом необходимо обратить
особое внимание на следующее.
a) Лестницы должны осматриваться перед использованием, а выдвижные лестницы должны
использоваться только в пределах их безопасной рабочей зоны. Опора каждой лестницы должна
быть горизонтальной и прочной и все лестницы перед их использованием должны надежно
привязываться на месте.
b) Если используются люльки для маляров или висячие подмости, блоки, канаты, веревки и т. д., то
они должны испытываться перед монтажом; если возникают вопросы к их прочности или
состоянию, то они должны быть заменены. Особое внимание должно быть уделено креплению
оборудования и его эксплуатации.
c) Если проведение калибровки невозможно без использования подмостей, должны монтироваться
соответствующим образом сконструированные стальные трубы или строительные леса.
Несцементированные кирпичи, барабаны, ящики и т. д. не должны использоваться для
образования подмостей.
d) Персонал, работающий на высоте, должен носить привязные ремни безопасности.
5 Оборудование

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 7507-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and
lubricants, Subcommittee SC 3, Static petroleum measurement.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7507-1:1993). It also cancels and replaces
ISO 7507-6:1997, the subject of which is now included in this part of ISO 7507.
ISO 7507 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and liquid petroleum products —

The strapping method for the calibration of vertical cylindrical tanks has been used for many years and is a
recognized method of determining the capacity of storage tanks from measurements of the circumference of a
tank at various heights. The strapping method is also often used to establish a reference circumference at a
selected height to use as a datum in other methods of tank calibration.

Strapping method
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 7507 specifies a method for the calibration of substantially vertical cylindrical tanks by
measuring the tank using a strapping tape.
1.2 This method is known as the “strapping method” and is suitable for use as a working method, a
reference method or a referee method.
NOTE For the reference method, the number of strappings required will be specified in the standard which refers to
this part of ISO 7507.
1.3 The operation of strapping, the corrections to be made and the calculations leading to the compilation of
the tank capacity table are described.
1.4 This method does not apply to abnormally deformed, e.g. dented or non-circular, tanks.
1.5 This method is suitable for tilted tanks with a deviation of up to 3 % from the vertical, provided that a
correction for the measured tilt is applied in the calculations.

4 Precautions
4.1 Introduction
This clause outlines the precautions that are applicable when tanks are being calibrated. The precautions
necessary to ensure the safety of the operator are dealt with separately from those precautions which have to
be taken to ensure the necessary precision required in the calibration of tanks.
4.2 General precautions
4.2.1 The utmost care and attention to detail shall be exercised when calibrating storage tanks.
4.2.2 All measurements shall be carefully observed and recorded as read, and any corrections which are
required shall be recorded separately. If any unusual occurrences are noted during the operations, these
occurrences shall be documented and the calibration shall be repeated, if necessary.
4.2.3 If the tank is only slightly distorted, sufficient additional measurements shall be taken to allow
satisfactory calculation of its capacity table. If such additional measurements are required, the calibrator’s
notes shall include the reasons for the extra measurements.
It is also recommended that dimensioned sketches should be provided by the calibrator to show any
abnormality of the tank or the fittings that affect calibration.
NOTE Seriously distorted tanks are best calibrated using liquid calibration methods similar to the method described
in ISO 4269.
4.2.4 To ensure accuracy and repeatability of readings, lumps of paint, scale, etc., likely to interfere with
measurement, shall be removed or the position of the measuring equipment adjusted accordingly.
4.2.5 If drawings for the tank are available, all relevant measurements shall be compared with the
corresponding dimensions shown on the drawings. Any measurement which shows a significant discrepancy
as a result of this comparison shall be reported and, if necessary, repeated.
4.2.6 If the calibration of a tank is interrupted, it may be resumed at a later date provided that:
a) if there is a change of equipment or personnel, sufficient check measurements shall be made to ensure
that the results obtained prior to the change correspond within the tolerances given in this method;
b) all records of work done are complete and legible;

SIST ISO 7507-1:2006
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
c) the liquid contents remain unchanged at substantially the same level;
d) the average liquid and atmospheric temperatures are within 10 °C of the average liquid and atmospheric
temperatures recorded during the earlier working period.
4.3 Safety precautions
4.3.1 The safety precautions given in 4.3.2 to 4.3.6 constitute good practice, but the list is not necessarily
comprehensive. It is recommended that the list should be read in conjunction with the appropriate sections of
any applicable safety code. The precautions shall be taken whenever they do not conflict with legislative
requirements, which shall always be followed.
4.3.2 All regulations covering entry into hazardous areas shall be rigorously observed.
4.3.3 If a tank being strapped contains a petroleum product, attention shall be paid to the normal safety
precautions which apply to such tanks.
4.3.4 Before a tank which has been in use is entered, a safe-entry certificate issued in accordance with
local or national regulations shall be obtained. All lines entering the tank shall be disconnected and blanked.
The national or local regulations regarding the entry into tanks which have contained leaded fuels shall be
meticulously observed.
4.3.5 Hand lamps shall be of a type approved for use in explosive atmospheres.
4.3.6 The safety of operating personnel shall be safeguarded by strict attention to the following.
a) Ladders shall be inspected before use, and extendable ladders used only within their safe operating
range. The footing for each ladder shall be level and firm, and all ladders shall be securely lashed in
position before being used.
b) When painters’ cradles or bo’suns’ chairs are used, blocks, falls, ropes, etc., shall be tested before
erection, and any item of questionable strength or condition shall be replaced. Every care shall be paid to
the securing of the equipment and its operational use.
c) If calibration cannot be carried out without the use of staging, properly constructed steel tube or timber
scaffolding shall be erected. Loose bricks, drums, boxes, etc., shall not be used to form staging.
d) Where appropriate, safety harnesses shall be worn by personnel working above ground level.
5 Equipment
5.1 Strapping tape, conforming to A.1. The tape shall be well greased before use.
5.2 Spring balance, conforming to A.2, for measuring the tension applied to the tape.
5.3 Step-over, conforming to A.3.
5.4 Tape positioners and cords, conforming to A.4, fitted to the strapping tape, and supplied with plaited
cords. Both upper and lower cords shall be long enough to cover the height of the tank.
5.5 Littlejohn grip, conforming to A.5, to hold the tape, without kinking, in order to facilitate application of
the necessary tension.
5.6 Apparatus for thickness measurement, either a steel rule of convenient length graduated throughout
its length in millimetres, with at least the first 10 mm subdivided into half-millimetres, and/or another device,
such as an electronic thickness gauge.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST ISO 7507-1:2006
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
5.7 Dip-tape conforming to A.6, long enough to reach from the dipping reference point at the tank roof to
the dip-point on the tank bottom.
5.8 Dip-weight, conforming to A.7.
5.9 End-to-end rule, 1 m in length, with graduations in centimetres and millimetres, for measuring
deadwood, etc. If a wooden rule is used, it shall be fitted with a brass ferrule at each end and shall be free
from warp.
5.10 Ladders and staging: see 4.3.6 for safety precautions.
5.11 Density- and temperature-measuring apparatus, conforming to ISO 3675.
6 General requirements
NOTE If possible, measurements should be compared with the corresponding dimensions on the tank construction
drawings and the roundness of the tank should be ascertained.
6.1 Fill the tank to its normal working capacity at least once and allow to stand for at least 24 h prior to
calibration.
If the tank is calibrated with liquid in it, record the depth, temperature and density of the liquid at the time of
calibration. However, if the temperature of the wall surface can differ by more than 10 °C between the empty
part and the full part of the tank, the tank shall be either completely full or empty. Do not make transfers of
liquid during the calibration.
The ambient temperature before and after calibration should be recorded.
Obtain the required number of external circumference measurements, together with the subsidiary
measurements, where necessary, to correct for deviation of the strap due to obstructions, as described in 7.2.
NOTE Additional measurements required to enable a table of capacities to be prepared and the procedures to be
used in obtaining them are described in Clauses 8 to 12.
6.2 It is necessary to refer all tank dips to the dip-point, which may be in a different position from the
calibration datum-point, e.g. a point on the bottom angle, used for the purpose of tank calibration. Check that
the dip-plate has been securely mounted in a stable position so that it is not affected by movement of the tank
bottom or walls. Determine any difference in level between the dip-point and calibration datum-point, either by
normal surveying methods or by other suitable means, and record it.
6.3 Measure the height of the upper reference point above the dip-point using the dip-tape and dip-weight.
Record this reference height, to the nearest subdivision on the dip-tape, in the empty and the full conditions,
as appropriate.
7 Circumference measurements
7.1 Levels strapped
7.1.1 If the calibration is for referee purposes, measure the circumference by three or more strappings per
course, at approximately the following levels:
a) for riveted tanks:
1) 100 mm to 150 mm above the level of the top of the bottom angle of the tank, and 100 mm to
150 mm above the upper edge of each horizontal overlap between courses;
© ISO 2003 — All rights reserved 7

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST ISO 7507-1:2006
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
2) at the middle position of each course;
3) 100 mm to 150 mm below the lower edge of each horizontal overlap between courses and 100 mm
to 150 mm below the level of the lowest part of the top angle.
b) for welded tanks:
three or more levels as indicated in a), but the upper and lower levels shall be 270 mm to 330 mm from the
bottom angle, top angle or horizontal seams.
7.1.2 If the calibration is for the working method, the circumference may be measured, if preferred, by only
two strappings per course, taking one at each of the following levels:
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height above the lower horizontal seam;
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height below the upper horizontal seam.
7.1.3 If for any reason it is impracticable to take a strapping at the normal level, take a strapping as close to
this level as practicable, but not nearer the bottom or top angle or any seam than is specified in 7.1.1 a) or b).
Record in the strapper’s notes the level at which this circumference has been measured, with the reason for
abandoning the normal level.
If the tape is not in close contact with the surface of the tank throughout its whole path, apply a step-over as
in 7.5, so that a correction may be calculated to adjust the gross circumference for this effect.
7.2 Strapping procedure
7.2.1 Strap the tank by either of the methods described in 7.2.2 and 7.2.3

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 7507-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and
lubricants, Subcommittee SC 3, Static petroleum measurement.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7507-1:1993). It also cancels and replaces
ISO 7507-6:1997, the subject of which is now included in this part of ISO 7507.

The strapping method for the calibration of vertical cylindrical tanks has been used for many years and is a
recognized method of determining the capacity of storage tanks from measurements of the circumference of a
tank at various heights. The strapping method is also often used to establish a reference circumference at a
selected height to use as a datum in other methods of tank calibration.

Part 1:
Strapping method
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 7507 specifies a method for the calibration of substantially vertical cylindrical tanks by
measuring the tank using a strapping tape.
1.2 This method is known as the “strapping method” and is suitable for use as a working method, a
reference method or a referee method.
NOTE For the reference method, the number of strappings required will be specified in the standard which refers to
this part of ISO 7507.
1.3 The operation of strapping, the corrections to be made and the calculations leading to the compilation of
the tank capacity table are described.
1.4 This method does not apply to abnormally deformed, e.g. dented or non-circular, tanks.
1.5 This method is suitable for tilted tanks with a deviation of up to 3 % from the vertical, provided that a
correction for the measured tilt is applied in the calculations.

4 Precautions
4.1 Introduction
This clause outlines the precautions that are applicable when tanks are being calibrated. The precautions
necessary to ensure the safety of the operator are dealt with separately from those precautions which have to
be taken to ensure the necessary precision required in the calibration of tanks.
4.2 General precautions
4.2.1 The utmost care and attention to detail shall be exercised when calibrating storage tanks.
4.2.2 All measurements shall be carefully observed and recorded as read, and any corrections which are
required shall be recorded separately. If any unusual occurrences are noted during the operations, these
occurrences shall be documented and the calibration shall be repeated, if necessary.
4.2.3 If the tank is only slightly distorted, sufficient additional measurements shall be taken to allow
satisfactory calculation of its capacity table. If such additional measurements are required, the calibrator’s
notes shall include the reasons for the extra measurements.
It is also recommended that dimensioned sketches should be provided by the calibrator to show any
abnormality of the tank or the fittings that affect calibration.
NOTE Seriously distorted tanks are best calibrated using liquid calibration methods similar to the method described
in ISO 4269.
4.2.4 To ensure accuracy and repeatability of readings, lumps of paint, scale, etc., likely to interfere with
measurement, shall be removed or the position of the measuring equipment adjusted accordingly.
4.2.5 If drawings for the tank are available, all relevant measurements shall be compared with the
corresponding dimensions shown on the drawings. Any measurement which shows a significant discrepancy
as a result of this comparison shall be reported and, if necessary, repeated.
4.2.6 If the calibration of a tank is interrupted, it may be resumed at a later date provided that:
a) if there is a change of equipment or personnel, sufficient check measurements shall be made to ensure
that the results obtained prior to the change correspond within the tolerances given in this method;
b) all records of work done are complete and legible;
© ISO 2003 — All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
c) the liquid contents remain unchanged at substantially the same level;
d) the average liquid and atmospheric temperatures are within 10 °C of the average liquid and atmospheric
temperatures recorded during the earlier working period.
4.3 Safety precautions
4.3.1 The safety precautions given in 4.3.2 to 4.3.6 constitute good practice, but the list is not necessarily
comprehensive. It is recommended that the list should be read in conjunction with the appropriate sections of
any applicable safety code. The precautions shall be taken whenever they do not conflict with legislative
requirements, which shall always be followed.
4.3.2 All regulations covering entry into hazardous areas shall be rigorously observed.
4.3.3 If a tank being strapped contains a petroleum product, attention shall be paid to the normal safety
precautions which apply to such tanks.
4.3.4 Before a tank which has been in use is entered, a safe-entry certificate issued in accordance with
local or national regulations shall be obtained. All lines entering the tank shall be disconnected and blanked.
The national or local regulations regarding the entry into tanks which have contained leaded fuels shall be
meticulously observed.
4.3.5 Hand lamps shall be of a type approved for use in explosive atmospheres.
4.3.6 The safety of operating personnel shall be safeguarded by strict attention to the following.
a) Ladders shall be inspected before use, and extendable ladders used only within their safe operating
range. The footing for each ladder shall be level and firm, and all ladders shall be securely lashed in
position before being used.
b) When painters’ cradles or bo’suns’ chairs are used, blocks, falls, ropes, etc., shall be tested before
erection, and any item of questionable strength or condition shall be replaced. Every care shall be paid to
the securing of the equipment and its operational use.
c) If calibration cannot be carried out without the use of staging, properly constructed steel tube or timber
scaffolding shall be erected. Loose bricks, drums, boxes, etc., shall not be used to form staging.
d) Where appropriate, safety harnesses shall be worn by personnel working above ground level.
5 Equipment
5.1 Strapping tape, conforming to A.1. The tape shall be well greased before use.
5.2 Spring balance, conforming to A.2, for measuring the tension applied to the tape.
5.3 Step-over, conforming to A.3.
5.4 Tape positioners and cords, conforming to A.4, fitted to the strapping tape, and supplied with plaited
cords. Both upper and lower cords shall be long enough to cover the height of the tank.
5.5 Littlejohn grip, conforming to A.5, to hold the tape, without kinking, in order to facilitate application of
the necessary tension.
5.6 Apparatus for thickness measurement, either a steel rule of convenient length graduated throughout
its length in millimetres, with at least the first 10 mm subdivided into half-millimetres, and/or another device,
such as an electronic thickness gauge.
6 © ISO 2003 — All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
5.7 Dip-tape conforming to A.6, long enough to reach from the dipping reference point at the tank roof to
the dip-point on the tank bottom.
5.8 Dip-weight, conforming to A.7.
5.9 End-to-end rule, 1 m in length, with graduations in centimetres and millimetres, for measuring
deadwood, etc. If a wooden rule is used, it shall be fitted with a brass ferrule at each end and shall be free
from warp.
5.10 Ladders and staging: see 4.3.6 for safety precautions.
5.11 Density- and temperature-measuring apparatus, conforming to ISO 3675.
6 General requirements
NOTE If possible, measurements should be compared with the corresponding dimensions on the tank construction
drawings and the roundness of the tank should be ascertained.
6.1 Fill the tank to its normal working capacity at least once and allow to stand for at least 24 h prior to
calibration.
If the tank is calibrated with liquid in it, record the depth, temperature and density of the liquid at the time of
calibration. However, if the temperature of the wall surface can differ by more than 10 °C between the empty
part and the full part of the tank, the tank shall be either completely full or empty. Do not make transfers of
liquid during the calibration.
The ambient temperature before and after calibration should be recorded.
Obtain the required number of external circumference measurements, together with the subsidiary
measurements, where necessary, to correct for deviation of the strap due to obstructions, as described in 7.2.
NOTE Additional measurements required to enable a table of capacities to be prepared and the procedures to be
used in obtaining them are described in Clauses 8 to 12.
6.2 It is necessary to refer all tank dips to the dip-point, which may be in a different position from the
calibration datum-point, e.g. a point on the bottom angle, used for the purpose of tank calibration. Check that
the dip-plate has been securely mounted in a stable position so that it is not affected by movement of the tank
bottom or walls. Determine any difference in level between the dip-point and calibration datum-point, either by
normal surveying methods or by other suitable means, and record it.
6.3 Measure the height of the upper reference point above the dip-point using the dip-tape and dip-weight.
Record this reference height, to the nearest subdivision on the dip-tape, in the empty and the full conditions,
as appropriate.
7 Circumference measurements
7.1 Levels strapped
7.1.1 If the calibration is for referee purposes, measure the circumference by three or more strappings per
course, at approximately the following levels:
a) for riveted tanks:
1) 100 mm to 150 mm above the level of the top of the bottom angle of the tank, and 100 mm to
150 mm above the upper edge of each horizontal overlap between courses;
© ISO 2003 — All rights reserved 7

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
2) at the middle position of each course;
3) 100 mm to 150 mm below the lower edge of each horizontal overlap between courses and 100 mm
to 150 mm below the level of the lowest part of the top angle.
b) for welded tanks:
three or more levels as indicated in a), but the upper and lower levels shall be 270 mm to 330 mm from the
bottom angle, top angle or horizontal seams.
7.1.2 If the calibration is for the working method, the circumference may be measured, if preferred, by only
two strappings per course, taking one at each of the following levels:
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height above the lower horizontal seam;
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height below the upper horizontal seam.
7.1.3 If for any reason it is impracticable to take a strapping at the normal level, take a strapping as close to
this level as practicable, but not nearer the bottom or top angle or any seam than is specified in 7.1.1 a) or b).
Record in the strapper’s notes the level at which this circumference has been measured, with the reason for
abandoning the normal level.
If the tape is not in close contact with the surface of the tank throughout its whole path, apply a step-over as
in 7.5, so that a correction may be calculated to adjust the gross circumference for this effect.
7.2 Strapping procedure
7.2.1 Strap the tank by either of the methods described in 7.2.2 and 7.2.3. The calibration tension specified
on the strapping tape shall be applied to the tape using the tensioning handles and spring balance, and
transmitted throughout the length of the tape.
NOTE A slight sawing motion imparted to the strapping tape will achieve this, or the strapping tape can be eased
round the tank by pulling it away from the shell by the cords attached to the tape positioners, sliding these along the
strapping tape as required.
Place the strapping tape on its correct path which shall be parallel to the horizontal seams of the tank.
7.2.2 If the strapping tape used is not long enough to encircle the tank completely, choose the level of the
strapping tape path and then measure the circumference in sections. Draw scribed lines not nearer than about
one-third of a plate length from a vertical seam at such distances apart as will enable measurements to be
made conveniently. When the tension on the spring balance at the end of the strapping tape is as specified in
7.2.1 for each separate section, record the individual readings. The external circumference of the tank shall
then be the sum of the separate measurements.
7.2.3 If the strapping tape

The strapping method for the calibration of vertical cylindrical tanks has been used for many years and is a
recognized method of determining the capacity of storage tanks from measurements of the circumference of a
tank at various heights. The strapping method is also often used to establish a reference circumference at a
selected height to use as a datum in other methods of tank calibration.

Part 1:
Strapping method
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 7507 specifies a method for the calibration of substantially vertical cylindrical tanks by
measuring the tank using a strapping tape.
1.2 This method is known as the “strapping method” and is suitable for use as a working method, a
reference method or a referee method.
NOTE For the reference method, the number of strappings required will be specified in the standard which refers to
this part of ISO 7507.
1.3 The operation of strapping, the corrections to be made and the calculations leading to the compilation of
the tank capacity table are described.
1.4 This method does not apply to abnormally deformed, e.g. dented or non-circular, tanks.
1.5 This method is suitable for tilted tanks with a deviation of up to 3 % from the vertical, provided that a
correction for the measured tilt is applied in the calculations.

4 Precautions
4.1 Introduction
This clause outlines the precautions that are applicable when tanks are being calibrated. The precautions
necessary to ensure the safety of the operator are dealt with separately from those precautions which have to
be taken to ensure the necessary precision required in the calibration of tanks.
4.2 General precautions
4.2.1 The utmost care and attention to detail shall be exercised when calibrating storage tanks.
4.2.2 All measurements shall be carefully observed and recorded as read, and any corrections which are
required shall be recorded separately. If any unusual occurrences are noted during the operations, these
occurrences shall be documented and the calibration shall be repeated, if necessary.
4.2.3 If the tank is only slightly distorted, sufficient additional measurements shall be taken to allow
satisfactory calculation of its capacity table. If such additional measurements are required, the calibrator’s
notes shall include the reasons for the extra measurements.
It is also recommended that dimensioned sketches should be provided by the calibrator to show any
abnormality of the tank or the fittings that affect calibration.
NOTE Seriously distorted tanks are best calibrated using liquid calibration methods similar to the method described
in ISO 4269.
4.2.4 To ensure accuracy and repeatability of readings, lumps of paint, scale, etc., likely to interfere with
measurement, shall be removed or the position of the measuring equipment adjusted accordingly.
4.2.5 If drawings for the tank are available, all relevant measurements shall be compared with the
corresponding dimensions shown on the drawings. Any measurement which shows a significant discrepancy
as a result of this comparison shall be reported and, if necessary, repeated.
4.2.6 If the calibration of a tank is interrupted, it may be resumed at a later date provided that:
a) if there is a change of equipment or personnel, sufficient check measurements shall be made to ensure
that the results obtained prior to the change correspond within the tolerances given in this method;
b) all records of work done are complete and legible;

c) the liquid contents remain unchanged at substantially the same level;
d) the average liquid and atmospheric temperatures are within 10 °C of the average liquid and atmospheric
temperatures recorded during the earlier working period.
4.3 Safety precautions
4.3.1 The safety precautions given in 4.3.2 to 4.3.6 constitute good practice, but the list is not necessarily
comprehensive. It is recommended that the list should be read in conjunction with the appropriate sections of
any applicable safety code. The precautions shall be taken whenever they do not conflict with legislative
requirements, which shall always be followed.
4.3.2 All regulations covering entry into hazardous areas shall be rigorously observed.
4.3.3 If a tank being strapped contains a petroleum product, attention shall be paid to the normal safety
precautions which apply to such tanks.
4.3.4 Before a tank which has been in use is entered, a safe-entry certificate issued in accordance with
local or national regulations shall be obtained. All lines entering the tank shall be disconnected and blanked.
The national or local regulations regarding the entry into tanks which have contained leaded fuels shall be
meticulously observed.
4.3.5 Hand lamps shall be of a type approved for use in explosive atmospheres.
4.3.6 The safety of operating personnel shall be safeguarded by strict attention to the following.
a) Ladders shall be inspected before use, and extendable ladders used only within their safe operating
range. The footing for each ladder shall be level and firm, and all ladders shall be securely lashed in
position before being used.
b) When painters’ cradles or bo’suns’ chairs are used, blocks, falls, ropes, etc., shall be tested before
erection, and any item of questionable strength or condition shall be replaced. Every care shall be paid to
the securing of the equipment and its operational use.
c) If calibration cannot be carried out without the use of staging, properly constructed steel tube or timber
scaffolding shall be erected. Loose bricks, drums, boxes, etc., shall not be used to form staging.
d) Where appropriate, safety harnesses shall be worn by personnel working above ground level.
5 Equipment
5.1 Strapping tape, conforming to A.1. The tape shall be well greased before use.
5.2 Spring balance, conforming to A.2, for measuring the tension applied to the tape.
5.3 Step-over, conforming to A.3.
5.4 Tape positioners and cords, conforming to A.4, fitted to the strapping tape, and supplied with plaited
cords. Both upper and lower cords shall be long enough to cover the height of the tank.
5.5 Littlejohn grip, conforming to A.5, to hold the tape, without kinking, in order to facilitate application of
the necessary tension.
5.6 Apparatus for thickness measurement, either a steel rule of convenient length graduated throughout
its length in millimetres, with at least the first 10 mm subdivided into half-millimetres, and/or another device,
such as an electronic thickness gauge.

SIST ISO 7507-1:2006
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
5.7 Dip-tape conforming to A.6, long enough to reach from the dipping reference point at the tank roof to
the dip-point on the tank bottom.
5.8 Dip-weight, conforming to A.7.
5.9 End-to-end rule, 1 m in length, with graduations in centimetres and millimetres, for measuring
deadwood, etc. If a wooden rule is used, it shall be fitted with a brass ferrule at each end and shall be free
from warp.
5.10 Ladders and staging: see 4.3.6 for safety precautions.
5.11 Density- and temperature-measuring apparatus, conforming to ISO 3675.
6 General requirements
NOTE If possible, measurements should be compared with the corresponding dimensions on the tank construction
drawings and the roundness of the tank should be ascertained.
6.1 Fill the tank to its normal working capacity at least once and allow to stand for at least 24 h prior to
calibration.
If the tank is calibrated with liquid in it, record the depth, temperature and density of the liquid at the time of
calibration. However, if the temperature of the wall surface can differ by more than 10 °C between the empty
part and the full part of the tank, the tank shall be either completely full or empty. Do not make transfers of
liquid during the calibration.
The ambient temperature before and after calibration should be recorded.
Obtain the required number of external circumference measurements, together with the subsidiary
measurements, where necessary, to correct for deviation of the strap due to obstructions, as described in 7.2.
NOTE Additional measurements required to enable a table of capacities to be prepared and the procedures to be
used in obtaining them are described in Clauses 8 to 12.
6.2 It is necessary to refer all tank dips to the dip-point, which may be in a different position from the
calibration datum-point, e.g. a point on the bottom angle, used for the purpose of tank calibration. Check that
the dip-plate has been securely mounted in a stable position so that it is not affected by movement of the tank
bottom or walls. Determine any difference in level between the dip-point and calibration datum-point, either by
normal surveying methods or by other suitable means, and record it.
6.3 Measure the height of the upper reference point above the dip-point using the dip-tape and dip-weight.
Record this reference height, to the nearest subdivision on the dip-tape, in the empty and the full conditions,
as appropriate.
7 Circumference measurements
7.1 Levels strapped
7.1.1 If the calibration is for referee purposes, measure the circumference by three or more strappings per
course, at approximately the following levels:
a) for riveted tanks:
1) 100 mm to 150 mm above the level of the top of the bottom angle of the tank, and 100 mm to
150 mm above the upper edge of each horizontal overlap between courses;

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

SIST ISO 7507-1:2006
ISO 7507-1:2003(E)
2) at the middle position of each course;
3) 100 mm to 150 mm below the lower edge of each horizontal overlap between courses and 100 mm
to 150 mm below the level of the lowest part of the top angle.
b) for welded tanks:
three or more levels as indicated in a), but the upper and lower levels shall be 270 mm to 330 mm from the
bottom angle, top angle or horizontal seams.
7.1.2 If the calibration is for the working method, the circumference may be measured, if preferred, by only
two strappings per course, taking one at each of the following levels:
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height above the lower horizontal seam;
 at about 1/5 to 1/4 of the course height or the ring height below the upper horizontal seam.
7.1.3 If for any reason it is impracticable to take a strapping at the normal level, take a strapping as close to
this level as practicable, but not nearer the bottom or top angle or any seam than is specified in 7.1.1 a) or b).
Record in the strapper’s notes the level at which this circumference has been measured, with the reason for
abandoning the normal level.
If the tape is not in close contact with the surface of the tank throughout its whole path, apply a step-over as
in 7.5, so that a correction may be calculated to adjust the gross circumference for this effect.

4 Précautions
4.1 Introduction
Le présent article trace les grandes lignes des précautions à suivre lors du jaugeage des réservoirs. Les
précautions requises pour assurer la sécurité de l'opérateur sont traitées séparément des précautions à
observer pour obtenir la précision nécessaire au jaugeage des réservoirs.
4.2 Précautions générales
4.2.1 Il faut faire preuve d'un soin extrême et porter une grande attention aux détails lors du jaugeage d'un
réservoir de stockage.
4.2.2 Tous les résultats des mesurages doivent être soigneusement lus et consignés sitôt relevés, et toutes
les corrections nécessaires doivent être notées séparément. Si des événements inhabituels sont observés au
cours des opérations, ils doivent être consignés et le jaugeage doit être recommencé si nécessaire.
4.2.3 Si le réservoir est seulement légèrement déformé, un nombre suffisant de mesurages
supplémentaires doit être effectué afin de permettre un calcul satisfaisant de son barème de jaugeage. Si de
tels mesurages supplémentaires sont nécessaires, les notes de l'opérateur doivent faire mention des raisons
pour lesquelles ils ont été effectués.
Il est également recommandé que l'opérateur produise des schémas cotés montrant toute anomalie du
réservoir et les accessoires influant sur le jaugeage.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 7507-1:2003(F)
NOTE Pour les réservoirs fortement déformés, il est préférable d'utiliser une méthode de jaugeage par transfert de
liquide, telle que celle décrite dans l'ISO 4269.
4.2.4 Pour assurer l'exactitude et la répétabilité des lectures, les coulures de peinture, la calamine, etc.
susceptibles de gêner le mesurage doivent être retirées ou le dispositif de mesurage doit être placé en
conséquence.
4.2.5 S'il existe des plans du réservoir, tous les résultats des mesurages utiles doivent être comparés aux
dimensions correspondantes figurant sur ces plans. Tout résultat présentant une différence significative à la
suite de cette comparaison doit être signalé et, si nécessaire, le jaugeage doit être réitéré.
4.2.6 Si l'opération de jaugeage d'un réservoir est interrompue, elle peut être poursuivie ultérieurement à
condition que
a) s'il y a eu changement d'équipement ou de personnel, des mesurages de vérification seront effectués en
nombre suffisant pour s'assurer que les résultats obtenus avant le changement concordent dans les
limites des tolérances fixées dans la présente méthode;
b) toutes les notes portant sur le travail effectué sont complètes et lisibles;
c) le contenu liquide reste inchangé, sensiblement au même niveau;
d) les températures moyennes du liquide et de l'atmosphère ne différent pas de plus de 10 °C des
températures moyennes du liquide et de l'atmosphère observées au cours de la période de travail
précédente.
4.3 Précautions de sécurité
4.3.1 Les mesures de sécurité indiquées en 4.3.2 à 4.3.6 constituent une pratique courante, mais la liste
n'est pas nécessairement exhaustive. Il est recommandé d'utiliser cette liste conjointement avec les
paragraphes appropriés de tout code de sécurité applicable. Ces précautions doivent être observées chaque
fois qu'elles n'interfèrent pas avec les exigences légales, qui doivent être suivies dans tous les cas.
4.3.2 Toutes les réglementations relatives à l'accès dans des zones dangereuses doivent être strictement
observées.
4.3.3 Si le réservoir ceinturé contient un produit pétrolier, il faut observer les précautions normales de
sécurité qui s'appliquent à de tels réservoirs.
4.3.4 Avant de pénétrer à l'intérieur d'un réservoir préalablement utilisé, il faut obtenir une autorisation
d'entrée, conformément aux règlements locaux ou nationaux. Toutes les canalisations pénétrant dans le
réservoir doivent être déconnectées et obturées. Les règlements locaux ou nationaux relatifs à l'accès à
l'intérieur des réservoirs ayant contenu des carburants plombés doivent être scrupuleusement respectés.
4.3.5 Les lampes portatives doivent être d'un type agréé pour l'emploi dans des atmosphères explosives.
4.3.6 La sécurité du personnel opérationnel doit être garantie en observant strictement les points suivants.
a) Les échelles doivent être inspectées avant utilisation et les échelles à coulisse doivent être utilisées
uniquement sur leur longueur utile de sécurité. Toutes les échelles doivent être solidement attachées en
place avant utilisation et leurs pieds doivent être de niveau et stables.
b) Lorsqu'on utilise des échafaudages volants de peintre ou des «chaises suspendues» de gabier, les
chapes de palans, les câbles de mécanisme élévateur, les cordes, etc. doivent être testés avant le levage
et tout élément dont la résistance ou l'état s'avère douteux doit être remplacé. Il faut veiller tout
particulièrement à la fixation du matériel et à sa bonne utilisation.

c) Si le jaugeage ne peut pas être effectué sans un échafaudage, un échafaudage correctement construit
en tubes d'acier ou en bois doit être monté. On ne doit pas utiliser de briques, de fûts, de caisses, etc.
pour former l'échafaudage.
d) Là où cela est nécessaire, le personnel travaillant au-dessus du niveau du sol doit porter un harnais de
sécurité.
