    Temperature Correction in Sounding Table: Weight Volume × Density

    The document discusses three methods for correcting cargo volume measurements for temperature variations: 1) Measuring ullage and temperature at multiple levels to calculate volume at the observed temperature, as volume changes with temperature. However, volume alone cannot measure cargo loaded/discharged, as weight remains constant despite volume changes. 2) Using a density correction factor of 0.0006 per degree Celsius to adjust density as it decreases with increasing temperature. 3) Using density provided at a reference temperature like 15°C along with an ASTM table to find volume correction factors and calculate volumes at other temperatures, as commonly used for chemical cargoes where density changes proportionally with temperature. ASTM tables are also used to calculate

    TEMPERATURE CORRECTION IN SOUNDING TABLE

     Volume and Weight relation

    Volume change with temperature but the weight remains the same.

     With increase in temperature

    Weight=Volume × Density
     With decrease in temperature

    Weight=Volume × Density

    1. Basics of cargo calculations


     First measure ullage (or sounding) of the tanks.
     Also measure the temperature of the cargo preferably at three levels.
     Now we get the volumes for each of these tanks for the corrected ullage and this will the
    volume at the observed temperature (Remember volume changes with temperature).
     As the volume changes with the temperature, this cannot be the measure of how much
    cargo we have loaded or discharged.

    2. Density at a particular temperature and correction factor


     Density correction factor: 0.0006 per Deg C
     This means that at every degree rise in temperature, the density would decrease by 0.0006.

    Example:
    Density Table
    The previous two methods are useful and applicable for cargoes the density for which changes
    proportionally with temperature.

    3. Density at 15 Deg C and ASTM table to use


     These methods are mostly used for calculation of chemical cargoes.
     ASTM tables give the Volume correction factors (VCF) to find the volumes at temperature
    for which the density is given.
     Let us say cargo surveyor provided the density at 15 deg C as 0.816 and ASTM table 54B to
    be used.
     But for petroleum products and crude oils, ASTM tables are used for calculating cargo
    weights.
     So first we need to find the VCF from ASTM table 54 for temperature 34 Deg C.

     So, as we can see for temperature 34 Deg C, the volume correction factor is 0.9830.

     Similarly, we need to find the VCF for cargo temperatures of other tanks.
