Loose tomatoes for sale at a UK greengrocer in 2013, dual-priced in imperial (£0.99 /lb) and metric (£2.18 /kg) units. Signs like these do not comply with legislation, as metric prices must not be less prominent. [1] [2] Metrication is the act or process of converting to the metric system of measurement.
For gas metering, gas orifice meters and ultrasonic flow meters are most common. [34] Coriolis meters are in use for liquid measurements, but can also take gas measurement applications. [35] For the application of allocation measurements, multiphase flow meters have been adopted, especially for subsea production systems. These equipments are ...
On-site fuel-management systems may employ fleet refueling services or bulk fuel tanks at the site. Fuel is tracked as it is pumped into vehicles, and on-site storage levels can be managed. [1] Some fuel companies offer total fuel-management systems whereby they provide elements of a card-based system along with on-site fuel delivery and ...
The oil and gas industry in the United Kingdom produced 1.42 million BOE per day [4] in 2014, of which 59% [4] was oil/liquids. In 2013 the UK consumed 1.508 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.735 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, [5] so is now an importer of hydrocarbons having been a significant exporter in the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1964, Fairclough made a swap body tank for combined transport by truck and train, but not yet constructed according to ISO standards. In 1966, commercial production began and one year later the first tank container to ISO dimensions was developed. The first mass-produced tank containers were purchased by Trafpak, a part of Pakhoed.
Many large transport aircraft use a different fuel gauge design principle. An aircraft may use a number (around 30 on an A320) of low voltage tubular capacitor probes where the fuel becomes the dielectric. At different fuel levels, different values of capacitance are measured and therefore the level of fuel can be determined.
A tank truck, gas truck, fuel truck, or tanker truck (American English) or tanker (British English) is a motor vehicle designed to carry liquids or gases on roads. The largest such vehicles are similar to railroad tank cars, which are also designed to carry liquid loads. Many variants exist due to the wide variety of liquids that can be ...
A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids, often gasoline or diesel fuel. Though any storage tank for fuel may be so called, the term is typically applied to part of an engine system in which the fuel is stored and propelled ( fuel pump ) or released (pressurized gas) into an engine .
