Tank inventory calculation

[Abu najad]

How I can calculate tank inventory for straight run gas oil, light Coker gas oil and Coker naphtha for DHT unit.
Please can you give me example in excel sheet?

How accurate.

What's wrong with cross sectional area x height of the liquid??

there are several calculators out there on the web which work from liquid height rather than gas oil ratio: try one of these

Agreed.

What type of tank ( I assumed vertical cylindrical), but others may have correctly used horizontal dished end or flat end vessels.

Why do you think it would be different for different liquids?

Depends on what you want the tank inventory for. A good start would be reading API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards. It will show you how to find that cross-sectional area and set up a calibrated reference point for the height. It also has details of the accepted software for calculating the inventory.
