Frequently asked questions

Why are level and volume nonlinear in a horizontal tank?
Because the cross section is a circle: near the bottom and top height grows faster than volume, in the middle slower.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
