Advice for Estimating Reservoir Capacity

To estimate the capacity in a rectangular oil reservoir, measure the length, width, and height (from the tank bottom to the oil level) in inches. Multiply these dimensions together to get the cubic inches of oil. Divide this number by 231 for gallons. Now label the tank with the capacity so you won't have to do this math again. (Michael Lofald, lubrication manager, Sappi Fine Paper)

Formal sampling guidelines should be established and adhered to.
