Title (German)

Gekühlte Kohlenwasserstoffe und verflüssigte, nicht auf Erdöl basierende gasförmige Brennstoffe - Kalibrierung von Membrantanks und unabhängigen Prismentanks in Schiffen - Manuelle Messung und Innenmessung nach dem elektrooptischen Distanzmessverfahren (ISO 8311:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 8311:2013

Brief description

This International Standard specifies a method for the internal measurement of membrane tanks used in ships for the transport of refrigerated light hydrocarbon fluids. In addition to the actual process of measurement, it sets out the calculation procedures for compiling the tank capacity table and correction tables to be used for the computation of cargo quantities. This International Standard, with some modification, may also be applicable to the calibration of independent prismatic tanks.
