Assessing LNG tank volume calibrations

;
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) is cooperating with others to develop measuring techniques and establish calibration standards for liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers. A photogrammetric survey technique is now used to determine the volume of each tank, but there are errors inherent in the method that could be very costly. NBS checks of the photographic method are described and it is noted that a more accurate method to check for photogrammetric survey accuracy is difficult to find.
