4.3 Volume Calculation
The LoopRadar offers four methods to calculate the product
volume depending on the tank type. For presentation of vol-
ume values you can choose cubic meter, gallons, barrels or
cubic feet.
Predefined Tank Shapes
Spherical Tank The volume is calculated by
specifying tank diameter.
Vertical cylinder Tank The volume is calculated by
specifying tank diameter.
Horizontal cylinder Tank The volume is calculated by
specifying tank diameter and
the tank length.
Offset Level
If for some reason zero volume should not correspond to the Zero Level, if you for
example want to add the sump volume into the total volume value, an Offset Level
can be introduced. The Offset level specifies the distance between the zero level
and the level that corresponds to zero volume.
