bearing chart
of the tank
Reference table: Basic value table with up to
15 pairs of values
‘cm => liter’ for the non-linear
areas of the tank.
Step 4 (Tank volume) and Step 5 (Tank height)
have to be set up beforehand.
Value pairs for 0% ( 0.0 cm => 0 L ) and 100%
(tank height => volume) are already set and
do not have to be entered again.
