Storage Tank Calibration
The service
RAN Innovation offers calibration services for:
- Vertical axis atmospheric tanks (fixed or floating roof)
- Pressure tanks (underground or above ground)
Surveys are conducted using 3D laser scanning:
- Internal surveys for new or maintained tanks
- External surveys for tanks in operation (note: bottom geometry cannot be scanned in this case)
Data is processed to create a digital twin, a parametric model with detailed information about the tank’s real geometry, materials and thicknesses.
From the digital twin, we generate calibration reports that consider:
- Actual geometry
- Effects of operating temperatures
- Effects of hydrostatic pressure (atmospheric tanks) or internal pressure (pressurized tanks)
- Tank element stiffness
Custom reports are available in compliance with international standards (ISO 7507, API, etc.) and can be exported in electronic formats (xlsx, csv, etc.), both full and reduced versions.
Our method eliminates the need for water to determine internal volumes, relying entirely on optical laser scanning for fast, repeatable, and highly reliable results.
RAN Innovation has decades of experience in tank calibration and is a trusted supplier to major Italian oil companies.
