- Records measurements and calculates total and incremental tank capacities to prepare gauging tables, following formulas.
- (2) Measures tank, using liquid calibration methods.
- Turns valves to admit measured quantities of liquid from calibrated container into tank being calibrated.
- Lowers tape into tank at specified places and records measurements.
- Repeats process to obtain measurements at various levels.
