Round Horizontal Tank Function Menu (
rht
)
This function is used to calculate volume in a round
horizontal tank with flat ends. The volume is calculated
based on the diameter and length of the tank. The tank’s
dimensions can be entered in inches or centimeters; the
scanner automatically calculates the volume in gallons or
liters. After entering the dimensions, complete the scaling
process with the display values calculated by the scanner.
The scanner can be re-scaled to display the volume in any
engineering unit without the need to re-enter the
dimensions again.
Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters
In the graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter and 120"
for the length of the round horizontal tank, the scanner
automatically calculates that the volume of the tank is
940.02 gallons.
1. Convert gallons to liters
1 US gallon = 3.7854 L
940.02 gal = 3558.4 L
2. Go to the
Setup - PV - Decimal Point
