STOCKPILE MEASUREMENT SERVICES
Alex Stewart International (India) Pvt. Ltd has professional staff with extensive experience in such independent stockpile monitoring and measurement. We work to provide you a complete and accurate measurement of the volume and weight of your commodity. Accurate stockpile evaluation and measurement provide you with a number of benefits including:
- Transparent evaluation of the inventory for financial reports, excise duty, loans
- Compliance with national and other regulatory requirements
- Data to help plan and manage your purchasing and stock administration
VOLUME CALCULATION:
Our professionals use the Total Station method to measure either irregular stockpiles formed by dumping or more controlled stockpiles formed by conveyors. We enter the data obtained by measuring your stockpile in the Total Station data logger, and then download it to a PC to calculate the actual volume. The data is also used to generate a contour map of the stockpile using Civil CAD software.
DENSITYCALCULATION:
Our professionalscalculate density on the basis of Indian Standard, different commodities have different Indian Standards based on which the density is calculated. Generally we calculate the density using box method.
TONNAGE CALCULATION:
(Tonnage) MassStockpile = Density of Stockpile X Volume of Stockpile
TANK CALIBRATIONSERVICES
Importanceof Tank Calibration:While storing, transferring, blending or processing, strict consistency in volumetric measures is imperative. Accurate calibration of storage tanks is indispensable in maintaining a very high standard ofyour products. A high standard of calibration not only ensures quality products, but also less trouble with customers, govt. department, internal stock taking and accountability. Calibration of tanks is a science of accurately determining the volume in a confined vessel at various stages.
Our professionals use the Total Station method or strapping method to calibrate the tanks. We have calibrated Edible Oil, chemical cargo storage tanks. Tank calibration includes calibration of vertical/ horizontal with elliptical and flat end tanks.
Storage Tank calibrations:
- Horizontal & Vertical Tank Calibrations.
- External measurements using Total Station.
PROCEDURE:
Our professionals use the Total Station method to calibrate the tanks. The External circumference is measured using Optical method and inner measurements are taken manually by our technical personnel or by strapping.The diameter is obtained using the formulae C=πX D where D is the diameter. We follow Indian Standards (IS) for preparation of the charts using which you can monitor the internal/external stock taking and accountability.
