1 Scope This part of ISO 12917 specifies a method for the calibration of horizontal cylindrical tanks having diameters greater than 2 m by means of internal measurements using an electro-optical distance-ranging instrument, and for the subsequent compilation of tank-capacity tables. This method is known as the internal electro-optical distance-ranging (EODR) method. This part of ISO 12917 is applicable to tanks inclined by up to 10 % from the horizontal, provided a correction is applied for the measured tilt. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 12917.

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this part of ISO 12917, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1998, ISO 7507-1 and the following apply. 3.1 reference target point fixed point clearly marked on the inside surface of the tank shell or a prism mounted on a tripod or stadia 3.2 slope distance distance measured from the electro-optical distance-ranging instrument to a target point on any given course of the tank shell 3.3 target point one of a series of points on the inside surface of the tank shell to which the slope distance, vertical angles and horizontal angles are measured by use of the electro-optical ranging instrument 4 Precautions The general and safety precautions given in ISO 7507-1 shall apply to this part of ISO 12917. In addition, the laser beam fitted to the EODR instrument shall be operated in conformity with IEC 60825-1. The hazards, if any, in the area in which the calibration is to be carried out shall be assessed in accordance with IEC 60079-10. The equipment to be used in the calibration shall be certified as being safe for use in the area of operation. 5 Equipment 5.1 Electro-optical distance-ranging instrument 5.1.1 The angle-measuring part of the instrument shall have an angular graduation and resolution equal to or better than 0,002 gon. This part of the instrument shall have a repeatability equal to or better than ± 0,005 gon. 5.1.2 The distance-measuring part of the instrument, used for direct determination of distances, shall have a graduation and resolution equal to or better than ± 1 mm. This part of the instrument shall have a repeatability equal to or better than ± 2 mm.
5.2 Instrument mounting A tripod which is firm and stable. The legs of the tripod may be held firm, and steadied, by suitable devices such as magnetic bearers. 5.3 Laser-beam emitter A low-power laser beam complying with IEC 60825-1, which is either an integral part of the EODR instrument or a separate device. If the laser beam emitter is a separate device, it may be fitted with a fibre-optic light transmitter system and a theodolite telescope eyepiece connection, by which the laser beam may be transmitted through a theodolite, or such that it may be fitted to a theodolite with its axis co-incident to the axis of the theodolite. NOTE The laser-beam emitter is used to position target points on the tank shell.
