3d Laser Scanning and Imaging Laser Scanning in Storage Tanks Metrology Control Process

Abstract

In order to secure that tanks are confirmed with the requirements of legal metrology, tanks shall be built in accordance with sound engineering practice. The main target during the process of construction and building of tanks is the ability of tanks to protect the storage fluid. Geometrical shape, hydro-static preassure and temperature are the main influencers to the capability of the fluid, so this three parameter must be permanently controld. In accordance with international standards and methods in the scope of legal metrology and calibrated laboratories, ths paper will present an analysis of two methods for tank control. It will be shown excample of conformity assessment of the thank you results collected by Leica MS60 and Leica BLK360 scanner stations.
