✦ Synopsis

Horizontal cylindrical tanks with fiat ends are largely used in the petroleum oil industry. E. L. Peffer of the Bureau's Weights and Measures Division has prepared tables so that the contents of completely and partially filled tanks may readily be obtained corresponding to the inside measurements.

The table shows the volume, in gallons, of a section I inch in length, for tanks of various diameters filled to various depths. The total volume of liquid in a tank filled to a given depth can be obtained by multiplying the tabulated volume per inch in length, for a given diameter of tank and depth of liquid, by the length of the tank, in inches.
