IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF MEASURING THE VOLUME AND MASS OF LIQUID PRODUCT IN HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL TANKS

The article is devoted to improving the accuracy of system for measuring and controlling level liquid materials in horizontal cylindrical tanks. task ensuring continuous accurate control level, volume mass petroleum products, taking into account shape bottom tank, set. In order improve device, a laser rangefinder installed, which allows you determine distance from tank lid point surface product calculate material by determining average temperature correcting changes when calculating density, products with different shapes bottoms tank. developed method provides high accuracy, low power consumption, implementation simple economical. device has no mechanically moving parts, so equipment protected failures long service life.
