Railway tank inspector

Railroad Tank Inspector A calculator that allows you to calculate the volume of product loaded in different types of railroad tanks.

The railroad tank calibration table contains all types of tanks: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 25a, 26, 26a, 27, 27a, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 35a, 37, 53, 53a, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, 100, 101, 105, 106. If you need to get the mass for different types of fuel that meet the requirements of the Volume Correction Factor 54B table (fuel oil, diesel, gasoline, etc.) the current volume can be converted into mass. Simply select the wagon type and fill height of the product in millimeters. Specify the density in g/cm³ at 15, (NOT at 20! degrees and NOT at the current temperature) and the fuel temperature, if you want to calculate the weight of the product. WARNING: To avoid confusion. The density of the product or, as they say, specific gravity should be given at FIFTY degrees Celsius - this is the standard international method of calculation. A calculation for the standard density at 20 degrees for Russian quality passports will be added very soon. Example calculation: Tank type: 52 Fuel discharge: 1230 mm Product temperature: 12.7 degrees Celsius. Product density: 0.9085 g/cm3 AT 15 degrees Celsius. Usually specified in the quality passport or, for example, it will be given to you by your laboratory.Then, at these data in the car contains 27800 liters of fuel.Temperature correction for this density and temperature: 1.0018, so the density at 12.7 degrees Celsius would be (1.0018 correction multiplied by a density of 0.9085): 0.9101The volume of the product at fifteen degrees Celsius will be (correction 1.0018 multiplied by the current volume at 12.7 27800): 27850 liters.Finally, the weight of the product (volume at fifteen degrees 27850 liters multiplied by the density at fifteen degrees 0.9085): 25302 kilograms.

TIP:If you are measuring the density of the product with a areometer directly in the tank, leave the temperature at fifteen degrees and set the current density on the areometer (In this case you do not need a temperature correction. You already have the current density). This will set the correction to one and you will get the actual weight of the product.
