The Experiment Study on Tank Capacity Measurement with Flowmeter

Abstract

To analyze the accuracy in the volume measurement of vertical tank with flowmeter, experiment based on volume measurement device of standard flowmeter method with different flowmeter is made in this paper. The capacity values of different liquid level in tank which are used to fitting and correcting the actual results of continuous measurement are calibrated by standard flowmeter and level gauge. Fitting coefficient can be used to analyze the accuracy of other measurement. Experiment results show that it is feasible to measure the capacity of vertical tank by standard flowmeter with high measure accuracy and small measure error.
