Alfa Laval Bulk Tank Calibration Chart

[JW & JA]

hi,

I have a really old Alfa Laval 680 litre bulk tank, but no calibration chart, does anyone have one?
Thanks

I thought they were calibrated on site so where individual to the farm as it depends on angles what is in the tank compared to the dip stick.

As @Fergieman says, they are individually calibrated, so the chart for each tank would probably be slightly different. If you know what it holds, surely you can get a rough idea on the dipstick? Failing that, fill with water through a flow meter and calibrate it yourself?

All done on site as said. Measuring jug in litre at a time and record the results. Shouldn't take you too much time, it's only 680 litres.

They don't need calibrating now, all milk tankers have flowmeters these days
