Inventory control and reconciliation in deformed underground storage tanks

What is it about?

The paper extends traditional leak detection methodology to tanks with elliptic cross-sections as opposed to strictly circular cross-sections. This paper allows for inventory control and reconciliation in underground storage tanks that are slightly deformed during manufacture, installation or soil settlement

Why is it important?

Historically, leak detection methodology was highly dependent on tank gauging charts developed for an ideal tank built, manufactured and installed according to specification. This paper provides the methodology to detect leaks in tanks that are slightly deformed during manufacture or installation.
