Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 4269 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and

Introduction
This International Standard forms part of a series on tank calibration including the following:
ISO 7507-1, ISO 7507-2, ISO 7507-3, ISO 7507-4, ISO 7507-5, ISO 7507-6, ISO 8311, ISO 9091-1 and
ISO 9091-2.
Liquid calibration methods may be used in the calibration of either the total or partial capacity of a tank. A high degree
of accuracy may be obtained provided that great care is taken at all stages of the operation. The method is particularly
useful where tanks are of irregular shape, for the calibration of the bottom of any storage tank, or for the calibration of
ship and barge tanks having irregular cross sections.
The method offers a degree of accuracy which may exceed other methods when used in the calibration of small tanks,
especially small horizontal cylindrical tanks.
The calibration liquid may be either water or a suitable petroleum product having a low volatility and viscosity. Water is
recommended where wide temperature variations are expected during calibration as water has a low coefficient of
cubical expansion. However, the use of water may introduce unacceptable risks and difficulties depending on the use
to which the tank being calibrated is to be put (e.g. the use and subsequent removal of water when used in the
calibration of underground storage tanks at retail sites). In such circumstances the use of a suitable petroleum product
would be preferable.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO 7507-1, and the following, apply.
3.1
K-factor
number of pulses generated by a meter per unit of volume passing through it
3.2
pre-set device
equipment which shuts off the delivery of calibration liquid to the meter after a predetermined volume has passed
through the meter
4 Precautions
4.1 The general precautions and safety precautions in ISO 7507-1 and IEC 60079-10 shall apply to this
International Standard.
4.2 When a petroleum product is used as the calibration liquid, the following additional safety precautions, which
are not exhaustive, shall be observed:
a) control of sources of ignition;
b) prevention of electrostatic accumulation by
1) the correct bonding of transfer hoses,
2) control of pumping speeds,
3) prevention of free fall and splashing of liquid,

4) maintenance of the velocity of the liquid in the line below 1 ms until the end of the filling pipe is submerged.
5 Meters
5.1 General specifications
5.1.1 The meter shall be of the positive displacement or turbine type.
5.1.2 The meter shall be fabricated from materials suitable for the calibration liquid to be used.
5.1.3 The meter shall be selected so that the flow rate, at which the meter will operate during the tank calibration,
is within the linear range of the meter factor curve of the meter.
The meter should either be fitted with a flow-rate indicator, or average flow rates should be calculated by timing
deliveries by means of a stop watch.
5.1.4 The meter shall have either a device giving a read-out in volumetric units or an electronic pulse counter
used to calculate volume.
To enable the required repeatability to be determined during the proving of the meter, and depending on the
volume passed by the meter during such proving, a special counter or other indicator capable of being read to a
fraction of the unit of volume should be provided.

5.1.5 A volumetric proving tank, a pipe prover or a small volume prover, suitable for use with the type of meter
chosen, shall be provided for calibrating the meter. The selected apparatus shall be provided with a calibration
certificate showing any corrections which may be required when in use.
5.1.6 A thermowell (thermometer pocket) shall be provided in the metering system adjacent to the meter.
To ensure adequate immersion and thermal response, and to avoid undesirable thermal conduction effects from
the pipe wall, it is recommended that, particularly in the case of small diameter lines, the pocket should be installed
in the body of the meter if a positive displacement meter is used. If a turbine meter is used, then the thermowell
shall be installed in the pipework at least five pipe diameters downstream of the meter position. The thermowell
should be in direct contact with the calibration liquid and should be filled with a light oil to aid thermal response. The
thermowell, and the fitting in which the sensitive element of the thermometer is immersed, should be designed in
accordance with sound thermo-technical principles. It may be desirable to provide external insulation round the
pipe or fitting at the position of, and adjacent to, the thermowell.
5.1.7 A rapid operating valve or shut off device shall be installed downstream of the meter (see 6.4.5).
5.2 Positive displacement meters
The meter factor shall not deviate by more than � 0,20 % from the average meter factor between 10 % and 100 % of
the maximum rated flow rate of the meter.
5.3 Turbine meters
5.3.1 The K-factor shall not deviate by more than � 0,20 % between 10 % and 100 % of the maximum capacity
of the meter.
5.3.2 A back pressure in excess of 100 kPa (gauge) shall be applied in order to prevent cavitation.
5.4 Selection of meter
5.4.1 The selection of a meter for tank calibration is contingent on the following:
a) the operating rate of flow to be used when calibrating the tank (see 5.4.4);
b) the maximum pressure to which the meter will b

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO 7507-1, and the following, apply.
3.1
K-factor
number of pulses generated by a meter per unit of volume passing through it
3.2
pre-set device
equipment which shuts off the delivery of calibration liquid to the meter after a predetermined volume has passed
through the meter
4 Precautions
4.1 The general precautions and safety precautions in ISO 7507-1 and IEC 60079-10 shall apply to this
International Standard.
4.2 When a petroleum product is used as the calibration liquid, the following additional safety precautions, which
are not exhaustive, shall be observed:
a) control of sources of ignition;
b) prevention of electrostatic accumulation by
1) the correct bonding of transfer hoses,
2) control of pumping speeds,
3) prevention of free fall and splashing of liquid,

4) maintenance of the velocity of the liquid in the line below 1 ms until the end of the filling pipe is submerged.
5 Meters
5.1 General specifications
5.1.1 The meter shall be of the positive displacement or turbine type.
5.1.2 The meter shall be fabricated from materials suitable for the calibration liquid to be used.
5.1.3 The meter shall be selected so that the flow rate, at which the meter will operate during the tank calibration,
is within the linear range of the meter factor curve of the meter.
The meter should either be fitted with a flow-rate indicator, or average flow rates should be calculated by timing
deliveries by means of a stop watch.
5.1.4 The meter shall have either a device giving a read-out in volumetric units or an electronic pulse counter
used to calculate volume.
To enable the required repeatability to be determined during the proving of the meter, and depending on the
volume passed by the meter during such proving, a special counter or other indicator capable of being read to a
fraction of the unit of volume should be provided.

5.1.5 A volumetric proving tank, a pipe prover or a small volume prover, suitable for use with the type of meter
chosen, shall be provided for calibrating the meter. The selected apparatus shall be provided with a calibration
certificate showing any corrections which may be required when in use.
5.1.6 A thermowell (thermometer pocket) shall be provided in the metering system adjacent to the meter.
To ensure adequate immersion and thermal response, and to avoid undesirable thermal conduction effects from
the pipe wall, it is recommended that, particularly in the case of small diameter lines, the pocket should be installed
in the body of the meter if a positive displacement meter is used. If a turbine meter is used, then the thermowell
shall be installed in the pipework at least five pipe diameters downstream of the meter position. The thermowell
should be in direct contact with the calibration liquid and should be filled with a light oil to aid thermal response. The
thermowell, and the fitting in which the sensitive element of the thermometer is immersed, should be designed in
accordance with sound thermo-technical principles. It may be desirable to provide external insulation round the
pipe or fitting at the position of, and adjacent to, the thermowell.
5.1.7 A rapid operating valve or shut off device shall be installed downstream of the meter (see 6.4.5).
5.2 Positive displacement meters
The meter factor shall not deviate by more than � 0,20 % from the average meter factor between 10 % and 100 % of
the maximum rated flow rate of the meter.

of the meter.
5.3.2 A back pressure in excess of 100 kPa (gauge) shall be applied in order to prevent cavitation.
5.4 Selection of meter
5.4.1 The selection of a meter for tank calibration is contingent on the following:
a) the operating rate of flow to be used when calibrating the tank (see 5.4.4);
b) the maximum pressure to which the meter will be subjected;
c) the liquid which the meter is required to measure (see 5.1.2);
d) the temperature range over which the meter will operate;
e) the range of viscosities over which the meter will operate.
5.4.2 Meters incorporating a temperature compensator shall not be used for tank calibration.
5.4.3 The meter shall be provided with a meter factor or K-factor curve (error–flow curve) for the type of liquid,
viscosity, temperature and range of flow rates over which it will be used.
5.4.4 The repeatability of the meter shall be such that the results of five consecutive proving runs shall be within
arangeof � 0,025 % of the average after correcting for temperature, pressure and viscosity.
5.4.5 Meters shall be installed and operated in accordance with the appropriate recommendations contained in
ISO 2714 or ISO 2715.

Introduction
La présente Norme internationale est une partie d'une série de normes sur le jaugeage des réservoirs qui
comprend:
l'ISO 7507-1, l'ISO 7507-2, l'ISO 7507-3, l'ISO 7507-4, l'ISO 7507-5, l'ISO 7507-6, l'ISO 8311, l'ISO 9091-1 et
l'ISO 9091-2.
Les méthodes de jaugeage par transfert de liquides peuvent être utilisées pour le jaugeage de la capacité totale ou
partielle d’un réservoir. Une grande exactitude peut être obtenue à condition d’effectuer avec soin toutes les étapes
de l’opération. La méthode est particulièrement utile pour les réservoirs de forme irrégulière, pour le jaugeage du
fond de tout bac de stockage, ou pour le jaugeage des citernes de bateaux et de barges dont les formes
géométriques sont irrégulières.
Cette méthode donne un degré d’exactitude, qui peut dépasser celui d’autres méthodes lorsqu’elle est utilisée pour
le jaugeage de petits réservoirs, notamment pour les réservoirs cylindriques horizontaux.
Le liquide de jaugeage peut êtredel’eauoutoutautre liquide pétrolier de faible volatilité et de faible viscosité.En
cas de variations importantes de température au cours du jaugeage, l’utilisation de l’eau est recommandée à cause
de son faible coefficient d’expansion cubique. L'utilisation de l’eau peut par contre entraîner des difficultés et des
risques inacceptables, selon l’affectation du réservoir à jauger; par exemple, l'utilisation et l'élimination de l’eau
pour le jaugeage des réservoirs de stockage enterrés chez les revendeurs. Il est préférable dans de telles
situations d'utiliser un produit pétrolier adapté.

–1
4) le maintien de la vitesse du liquide dans la tuyauterie à un niveau inférieur à 1ms jusqu’à l’immersion
de l’extrémité du tube de remplissage.
5 Compteurs
5.1 Spécifications générales
5.1.1 Le compteur doit être volumétrique ou à turbine.
5.1.2 Le compteur doit être fabriquéà partir de matériaux adaptés au liquide utilisé pour le jaugeage.
5.1.3 On doit sélectionner le compteur afin que son débit, pendant le jaugeage du réservoir, se situe dans la
partie linéaire de la courbe d’erreur du compteur.
Il convient de munir le compteur d’un dispositif indicateur de débit; dans le cas contraire, les débits moyens sont
calculés par chronométrage des quantitéslivrées.
5.1.4 Le compteur doit être muni d’un indicateur de volume, ou d’un compteur électronique d’impulsions utilisé
pour calculer les volumes.
Afin de pouvoir déterminer la répétabilité pendant l’étalonnage du compteur, et en fonction du volume qui le
