Capacity Calculator

A	MGW	in kg	Maximum Gross Weight of the tank container for the concerned traffic

B	Tare Weight	in kg	Tare weight of the selected tank container

C	d⁵⁰	-	Density/specific gravity of the liquid at 50°C

D	Filling Ratio	in %	Filling Ratio

SUBMIT

E	Optimum Capacity in Lt	E = (A - B) / (C * D)

F	Maximum capacity to have 80% of Filling Ratio	F = (A - B) / (C * 0.80)

For Liquid tanks only

This program can be mostly used for liquids loaded and transported at ambient temperature. Remember that the minimum filling ratio must be 80% (except when baffles are fitted and compartments < 7500 L).

Nota
For Gaz tanks, you have to use the filling ratio given in the regulations, representing kg of product per Liter of capacity of the vessel.
