Statistical method of calibrating tanks for storing spirit and spirit products.Peer-reviewed article

K.K. PONOMAREV

The explained method which is based in the laws of statistical mathematics for mass events and which counts in all the actors that operate in the tank and in addition, periodic re-measurements (e.g. every 3 months) of geometric shape, allows to correct systematically the outcome of calibration with time). In short, the essential factor for the explained method is that, given the ever-changing geometric shape of a cylindrical vat due to the influence of these factors, the most suitable manner is the method which when counting all influences, gives the possibility to change the calibration volume tables, depending on how the casing mechanically works and therefore to follow changes in volume over time. The outer geometrical form of the cylindrical container can be defined very easily by dropping a lid plumb from the tank and attaching a steel scale in respective planes. Measurements are performed from a ladder by less skilled workers.
