How to measure Custody Transfer?
Tank Gauging is the calculation the Net

with measurement of level, temperature, etc.
instrumentation.
CT Quantity can be measured by Volume or
by Mass - static or dynamic
Static = Tank Gauging; Dynamic = Flow
Decision is up to involved parties.
Mass and Volume are complementary but not
the same!
Static and Dynamic are complementary
Neither is exact both have limitations,

2.3.1 ISO 4266
Part 1 - Level Measurement in Atmospheric Tanks

Part 4 Temperature Measurement in Atmospheric Tanks
Main Issues:
Use Ullage dip for Ullage level devices,
Verify Gauge Reference Height (GRH); tol. within 1 mm (3x)
or 2 mm (5x)
Initial verification: Three dips, different levels (Subs. ver.:
one level only), 4 mm max. difference

3.4 Summary International Standards
API and ISO are nearly identical, OIML is more strict on

method!
Difference between API-OIML-ISO is diminishing.
OIML is unique at it recognizes System and gauge type or
pattern approval
Which standards are used is local (National) issue if no
W&M involvement up to involved parties

Servo is the best measuring principle for LPG
Typical LPG application:

Sphere (20 m diameter)
Changing pressure between 5-
20 bar
Changing LPG vapor density
Low dielectric constant 1.6
1.9
Low product density ~500 kg
/m

Terminal Management
LPG is difficult to be detected by radar

devices
Low dielectric constant of LPG
LPG liquid gets more
transparent for the radar
signal
Blocking distance at the bottom
increases (0,5-1 m)

Terminal Management
Need of deflector to reduce blocking distance

in LPG
Competitor will tell you to install
A deflection plate to reduce the
bottom blocking distance
Servo does not need a deflection
plate

Terminal Management
LPG vapor influencing the radar measurement
Continuously changing pressure

between 5-20 bar and LPG vapor
density
slows down the radar signal
Level is indicated lower than the
real value

Terminal Management
In general a good idea, we have

similar concept for GWR steam
compensation, but for high
precision level measurement not
d
applicable, because
Fabrication of the reference pin

distance comprises errors.
If d is 1,002 m instead of 1 m,
you will multiply the error 3-4
times, until you measure the
LPG level. (2 mm reference pin
fabrication error will result in 6-8
But

additional error.
accuracy/error for custody
transfer is 4 mm
Terminal Management
Even if you have a perfect

stilling well, the inherent
accuracy/error of the radar is 1
mm.

Again, this error will multiplied
3-4 times, when you measure
the LPG level.
But max. total level

accuracy/error for custody
transfer is 4 mm

Terminal Management
Best choice for you is the LPG the servo

technology
Proservo does not depend on the gas vapor
Proservo does not depend on the dielectric constant
Proservo does not need a reflector at the bottom of the
stilling well
Proservo does not need a manual turning of the gauge for
each reference pin measurement.
Proservo does not need a rework of the stilling well
(reference pin and reflector)
Proservo has the PTB approval for LPG custody transfer
But Competition-radar has this issues in LPG !!!

Power consumption for Comp. (Radar) 3080 W
Calculation:

Need of Stilling Well (SW) as per API
A SW is a should and highly

recommended, as most tank
roofs are not stable enough.
A SW is the only possibility for
millimeter accurate
measurement in floating roof
tanks.
Only for smaller tanks (<5000
bbls.) the recommendation is
dropped.
Also the Dutch NMI and
German PTB dont see it as a
must but the tank roof
needs to be enough stable
which is hardly the case you
have to prove the roof is stable
enough (influence < 2-3mm!)

What our recommendations for SW for Radar

are:
Preferable two rows pitch 300mm (depends on viscosity of
product)
Holes staggered on both sides, in a straight vertical line, de-
300mm
burred preferably conically drilled.
SW diameter:
6 for normal hydrocarbons in Fixed Roof Tank
8 for more viscous products and medium size FRTs (<50m)
10 for larger FRTs (when SW is also used anti rotational device for
the FR)
2 for Bullets and horizontal cylindrical tanks
Hole diameter:
1/10 of pipe diameter)
Highly recommended for new installations:
Material: SS
15 cm
Separate SW for manual gauging and sampling (4)
Separate Open (perforated) thermo well for temperature
30 cm
measurement
Thermo well open ended and above water sump (if applicable)
End of SW: below zero point (datum plate) and 300mm above bottom
so that a reflector plate can be placed below.

pressurized tanks. (All light hydrocarbons having a Reid
vapor pressure above 100 kPa (15 psi) and underground
storage tanks are excluded)

Stilling well requirements
At any transition (e.g. when using a ball

valve or mending pipe segments), no gap
may be created exceeding 1 mm.
The stilling well must be smooth on
the inside (average roughness Rz
6.3 m). Use extruded or parallel welded
stainless steel pipe. An extension of the
pipe is possible with welded flanges or
pipe sleeves. Flange and pipe have to be
properly aligned at the inside.
Shifted pipes should not be welded
Stilling well must be open at the bottom.
Slots offset 180 (not 90).

Design aspects for SW:

Holes instead of slots
SW fixed to the bottom
SW freely moveable on the top (no influence from roof
movement)
Not heavily corroded
Not bended nearly Straight
Not too much adhering product
Not over-slotted
Minimization of tank bottom reflections

Why is accurate temperature essential?

Level vs. Temperature
Thermal expansion of hydrocarbons:
typically 0.1% per 1C temperature change

Typically it handles 27 000 m3 of hydrocarbons

Why is accurate temperature essential?
Level vs. Temperature errors:

Level error of 2 mm = 3,2 m (20

In large storage tanks, vertical temperature layers with

differences up to 5C are possible.
For custody transfer applications API requires multi-spot

How to improve Average Temperature?
Evaluate location and distanceAPI

Have enough temperature sensors:
ISO
API Chapter 7 recommends:
4 elements, if Tank height < 9m
5 elements for Tank heights between 9 and 15 m
ISO 4266-4 recommends:

6 elements for Tank Heights > 15 m
ISO
1 m from tank floor and every 3 m one
sensor, i.e.:
4 if Tank Height < 9 m
But also as API in the Appendix!

VCF correction
The liquid expansion of the product (VCF) effecting the

TOV is assumed to be corrected in the GSV.
Assumed are:
Good Temperature assessment , i.e.
averaging temp. measurement.
Product properties are correct, i.e.
calculated VCF is applicable
Issue(s) could be:
Stratification caused by different batches
Product layer close to tank shell and surface where
most of ambient effect is located, but is not measured
In general we can state that only the bulk is VCF corrected,
the skin is NOT corrected, and might cause additional
uncertainties!
How well stratification is coped with depends on
temperature measurement system.

Bypass Solution to reduce costs
Instead of a Displacer, a Levelflex M could be

used in the bypass.
The system is pre-assembled and ready to fit.
Unlike a mechanical system, there is no
maintenance needed.
By installing the Levelflex on a bypass which is

attached to the process vessel, the cost for
planning, procurement, commissioning and
maintenance is reduced.
