Hi All,

I made a quick tool for determining partial vessel volume which Plots vessel liquid height vs partial volume. Calcs are based on Based on GPSA Handbook page 6-21 and valid for horizonal & vertical cylindrical vessels with 2:1 elliptical & hemispherical heads.

Thought it was about time I shared something with everyone here - please take a look.

My sheet gives me different readings by quite a long way and I have checked it out by actually measuring liquid pumped in in the field.

based on


V= (∏ r (3R-y) y²/3R) + L(sqrt(2R-y)y) (y-R)+R² cos¯¹(1-(y/R))/10^6

Where

V = volume in litres
y = level in sight glass in mm
L = length of tank (tan – tan)
r = radius of elipsoid ends
R = radius of cylindrical section of tank
