Nuclear fuel technology — Tank calibration and volume determination for nuclear materials accountancy — Part 4: Accurate determination of liquid height in accountancy tanks equipped with dip tubes, slow bubbling rate

ISO 18213-4:2008 specifies a procedure for making accurate determinations of the liquid height in nuclear-materials-accountancy tanks that are equipped with pneumatic systems for determining the liquid content. With such systems, gas is forced through a probe (dip tube) whose tip is submerged in the tank liquid. The pressure required to induce bubbling is measured with a manometer located at some distance from the tip of the probe. This procedure applies specifically when a very slow bubbling rate is employed.
