确定储罐、远洋驳船和带有整体船体储罐的整体拖船装置中液体总量和增量的三种方法。这三种方法包括液体校准、线性管理校准和容器图纸校准。本文件和第2.7章取代了之前的API标准2553。作为API/能源研究所（EI）的联合标准，它还带有EI名称碳氢化合物管理，HM2第5B节。

Three methods for determining the total and incremental volumes of liquids in tanks, oceangoing barges, and integrated tug barge units that have integral hull tanks. The three methods include liquid calibration, calibration by linear mangement, and calibration from vessel drawings. This document and Chapter 2.7 superseded the previous API Standard 2553. A joint API/Energy Institute (EI) standard, it also carries the EI designation Hydrocarbon Management, HM2 Section 5B.
