28、ed natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other liquefied gases are usually transported by marine carriers dedicated for these applications and traded based on static measurement on board by automatic tank measurement. Such an automatic tank measurement may be a part of the custody tra

29、nsfer measurement system (CTMS) which involves determination of liquid/vapor interface, i.e. liquid level, average temperatures of liquid and vapor, and vapor pressure. The volumetric quantity of the liquid and gas is then computed with the tank capacity table based on which the delivered quantity i

30、n terms of energy content or mass is calculated. In most cases, shore tank measurement is not used due to the active and dynamic conditions of the shore tank operations. In the absence of other means of acceptable measurement, custody transfer measurement usually takes place on board the carrier or

31、floating production storage offshore (FPSO) and floating storage offshore (FSO). Liquid cargo density is very sensitive to temperature; therefore, obtaining accurate temperature readings is extremely important. For example, a change of 0.2 C ( 0.36 F) for liquid methane cargo results in a change in

32、density of approximately 0.07 %. This International Standard also discusses use of automatic tank thermometers on board marine vessels for other volatile, non-petroleum liquids in fully refrigerated conditions. Many of these non-petroleum liquids, such as di-methyl ether (DME) are measured in a simi

33、lar manner to that used for fully refrigerated LPGs. Values of temperature in this International Standard are in terms of the International Temperature Scale of 1990, ITS-90. Temperatures in degrees Celsius are denoted by the symbol t. API MPMS Chapter 7.5/ISO 8310:20121 Automatic Tank Temperature M
