The Effect of Solution and Vessel Thermal Expansion on Volume Measurements in the Chemical Processing Department

One of 709 reports in the series: HW (Series) available on this site.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The major portion of transfers and inventory in the Chemical Processing Department are dependent on volume measurement. Good volume measurements are therefore essential to good SS material control. Considerable attention has been given to the volume problem especially on primary transfer points. Document HW-57888 discusses the biasing effect pf temperature on manometer oil. HW- 57866 given the procedure for vessel calibration. Other undocumented correspondence has discussed recent calibrations and certain aspects of temperature considerations in the volume determinations. However, there is a need to document for future reference the consideration given temperature and provide at the same time information which … continued below
