Capacity You Can Trust: Storage Tank Calibration with International Standards at FARE Labs

In industries that rely on bulk liquid storage—such as petroleum, chemicals, water utilities, food, and pharmaceuticals—accuracy is everything. Even the smallest error in tank volume measurement can result in financial losses, safety risks, or disputes in custody transfer. That is why at FARE Labs Pvt. Ltd., we provide high-capacity storage tank calibration services using Total Station electro-optical distance ranging technology.

Our team handles tanks ranging from 20 KL to 6500 KL, including large vertical tanks with diameters greater than 5 meters. Every calibration is carried out in line with OIML R 71:2008 and ISO 7507-5:2005, ensuring results that are precise, traceable, and internationally accepted.

Why Tank Calibration Matters

Tank calibration is not just a formality. It directly impacts daily operations and bottom-line performance.

  • Inventory accuracy – Prevents overstatement or understatement of stored liquid.
  • Financial protection – Reduces losses from overfilling or underutilization.
  • Dispute reduction – Provides trusted data during custody transfer.
  • Regulatory compliance – Ensures measurements are audit-ready and traceable to global standards.

With Fare Labs, you can be confident that every liter is accounted for, giving you peace of mind during audits and customer transactions.

Technology That Ensures Precision

We employ Total Station instruments with electro-optical distance ranging, delivering:

  • 1 mm linear measurement resolution
  • 2″ arc angular resolution
  • Geometric modeling of tank structure

This advanced method captures the true dimensions of storage tanks, including irregularities, to generate accurate capacity charts and calibration tables. The process is efficient, minimizes downtime, and delivers results aligned with international standards.

  • Accuracy that saves money – Reliable volumetric calculations eliminate hidden losses.
  • Compliance assured – Calibration is carried out strictly as per OIML and ISO guidelines.
  • Safe and efficient – Particularly important for petroleum and chemical industries.
  • Trusted documentation – Calibration charts and certificates accepted by regulators and auditors.

Our calibration expertise extends across multiple sectors, such as:

  • Petroleum & Petrochemicals – Crude oil, refined fuels, and LPG storage.
  • Chemical Plants – Capacity measurement for hazardous and specialty chemicals.
  • Food & Beverage – Edible oils, juices, syrups, and water tanks.
  • Pharmaceuticals – Purified water and solvent tanks requiring GMP compliance.
  • Municipal Utilities – Water distribution and community storage reservoirs.

At FARE Labs, we do more than deliver a calibration certificate. We provide:

  • Calibration Certificates with traceability for confidence and compliance.
  • On-site efficiency with minimal disruption to operations.
  • Annual or periodic calibration plans to keep data up-to-date.
  • Practical guidance and training for teams to interpret calibration charts effectively.
