Abstract

Reliable quantity measurements are essential to meet the needs of the public interest, health, environmental protection, and the global fair trade of petroleum products. This can only be ensured by accurate and regular calibration of the measuring instruments. The frequency of metrological supervision is differently legally regulated in different countries since there are no clear criteria for determining periodicity. This report presents an analysis of the metrological supervision of vertical and aboveground tanks (intended for oil products) in different countries and long-term data usage for supervision periodicity identification. The periodicity of metrological supervision procedures must be synchronised with technical repairs and must depend on the type and volume of the tank. Choosing the optimal periodicity frequency of different tanks can adjust the economic burden of metrological supervision considering the economic and environmental aspects that is presented in the report with suitable adaptations.
