Dear all,
I have just started to learn how IS-OIL solution is functioning and a question arises regarding floating roof correction.
In silo management function, you can simulate the material volume using material density, total height, material temperature and shell temperature(using LVCC calculator).
If the material density is increased, then the material volume is also increased.
(Of course floating roof correction indicator is set.)
I don't understand why material volume is increased when the material density is increased in the system.
And in a real business, in what situation is material density increased?
Does that happen when the floating roof is replaced with a heavier one?
In SAP ERP I changed the floating roof weight value but it didn't affect the calculation result of the material volume.
(Note that the material density is not changed, and my understanding is that the density is not changed automatically when the roof weight is changed.)
Can somebody figure the above system behavior out and advise practical silo management in oil industry?
Thank you,
Yasuyo
