本标准描述了三种方法，用于确定沿海和内陆水道驳船储罐中液体的总增量体积，这些驳船储罐具有整体式船体储罐。这三种方法如下:（a）液体校准。（b） 通过线性测量进行校准。（c） 根据容器图纸进行校准。本文件和第2.8A章取代之前的API标准2553。作为API/能源联合研究所（EI），它还执行EI指定的碳氢化合物管理，HM2第5A节。

This standard describes three methods for determining the total incremental volumes of liquids in barge tanks for coastal and inland waterway service that have integral hull tanks. The three methods are as follows: (a) Liquids calibration. (b) Calibration by linear measurement. (c) Calibration from vessel drawings.This document and Chapter 2.8A supersede the previous API Standard 2553. A joint API/Energy Institute (EI), it also carrieds the EI designation Hydrocarbon Management, HM2 Section 5A.
