Volumetric calibration of process vessels using digital computer techniques /

The paper describes a procedure for accurately and speedily calibrating tanks used for the chemical processing of nuclear materials. The procedure features the use of (1) precalibrated vessels certified to deliver known volumes of liquid, (2) calibrated linear measuring devices, and (3) a digital computer for manipulating data and producing printed calibration information. Calibration records of the standards are traceable to primary standards. Logic is incorporated in the computer program to accomplish curve fitting and perform the tests to accept or to reject the calibration, based on statistical, empirical, and report requirements. This logic is believed to be unique.
