GB/T 45373-2025 is the English-translated version of 石油和液体石油产品 罐内密度直接测量 谐振筒密度计法.

GB/T 45373-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering measuring density in the tank itself rather than on a drawn sample — the resonant cylinder probe and its temperature sensor, the accuracy required of a portable meter and of a fixed tank meter, the measurement conditions in an atmospheric tank, the level and temperature measurement the density has to be read with, and the safety measures around static electricity on a tank that is being gauged. It covers inventory and transfer measurement, and not pressurised or refrigerated tanks. First edition, in force from 1 September 2025. Issued on 28 February 2025, it has been in force since 1 September 2025.

The density of petroleum and liquid petroleum products in the tank is directly Measurement by resonant cylinder density meter method

1 Scope

This document specifies the general requirements for accuracy, measurement conditions and measurement methods for direct measurement of the density of oil in tanks by resonant cylinder densitometers.

The requirements are specified in the following two types of equipment. portable electronic density meter and tank automatic density meter. Inspection method.

This document is applicable to single-phase liquid petroleum and its products with a reid vapor pressure of less than 100 kPa in atmospheric tanks and sufficient fluidity, and other Similar products that meet the requirements shall be implemented accordingly.

This document applies to measuring density in inventory and transfer measurements.

This document is not applicable to density measurements in pressurized tanks or refrigerated tanks.

Note 1.For multifunctional electronic metering devices capable of measuring density, when based on the same principle as a resonant cylinder densitometer, the density measuring part is equivalent to the resonant cylinder Density meter.

Note 2.Resonance cylinder densitometers are generally suitable for low-viscosity liquid petroleum products without wax. For viscous liquid crude oil and petroleum products, such as crude oil, lubricating oil, and residual fuel oil, etc., may be difficult to use. Manufacturers usually give the maximum viscosity of the applicable liquid in the instruction manual.
