6.5.3.4 "Tank shape" submenue
Parameterise and manage the tank shape table that is used to calculate the volume from
the fill height in the "Tank shape" submenue.
The tank shape pairs serve as control points of a tank shape curve. The volume is interpo-
lated linearly between the tank shape pairs. The volume value is extrapolated from the last
straight line above the last control point.

A basic requirement for the correct recording of the tank shape is the correct parameteri-
sation of the density and height offset.
Entering and teaching-in the tank shape can be combined as required. For example, you
can teach-in the torispherical head of a tank and enter the cylindrical part of the tank by
adding control points manually.
It is mandatory that the fill height 0 m corresponds to the volume 0 m
Therefore, make sure that you add a 0/0 point when you enter the tank shape manually.
Otherwise, the volume values may be shifted in an undesired manner when switching on
the tank shape to achieve a 0/0 point (see below).
You can select any fill ratio at the start of the teach-in process. You don't have to start with
the teach-in process at the height of the pressure zero or the height of the level zero.
You can teach-in the tank shape by filling or emptying. Enter the volume filled into or re-
moved from the tank during the teach-in process. This volume, together with the measured
fill height, is stored as a control point of the tank shape table.
It makes sense to start the teach-in process by entering a volume of zero m
units). Enter the volume filled since the start for each control point when teaching-in by
filling. Enter the volume removed since the start with a negative sign when teaching-in by
emptying. When switching on the tank shape, the control points are sorted and adjusted in
such a way that a valid table is created with a reference to the level zero (see below).
