[avvv.rajagopal]

Legal Metrology (General) Rules, 2011 do not set any metrological requirement for vertical storage tanks. No MPE (Maximum Permissible Error) is also prescribed.

The MPE for the Vertical Storage Tanks and the Horizontal Storage Tanks have been discussed in detail vide IS: 2008 – 1961 for Vertical Storage Tanks and in IS:2166-1963 for Horizonal Tanks and we have separate IS for computation Calibration Charts also. Pl also note that "The Legal Metrology (General) Rules, 2011 does not contain any information regarding the calibration of "Prover Measures".

A storage tank can be above ground or under ground, cylindrical in shape, made of steel with elliptical/conical heads. Large storage tanks are commonly used to store Petroleum products.
