- 5. After meticulously scrutinising and testing all calibration methods available locally and internationally, SCMS Africa selected the E.O.D.R. (Electro Optical Distance Ranging) method to ensure we are at the forefront of providing accurate and advanced state of the art calibration and measurement services to the market in the petrochemical, structural and mechanical industry. This methodology would has the following benefits: M E T H O D O L O G Y S E R V I C E S C O P E Due to its ability, the E.O.D.R. code enables us to utilize equipment which accurately measure safety heights, maximum tank volume efficiency and evaporation heights of floating roof tanks Report turnaround time is minimised due to data accumulation and processing integration As per code requirements, insulated tanks with lagging can be accurately calibrated with the required corrections Our mechanical engineering and quality assurance team is available to provide quality assurance to validate all calibrations E Q U I P M E N T B E N E F I T 1

- 9. C A L I B R A T I O N S C O P E The E.O.D.R. calibration scope can be applied to tanks in and out-of-service operational conditions, therefore an inefficiently operating tank can be calibrated as accurately with all the necessary corrections in terms of the hydrostatic head, deadwood displacement, thermal expansion etc. For IFR / IFB storage tanks, critical zone volume displacement calculations are calculated accordingly for additional accuracy within the open volume of vertical storage tanks. In addition innage, ullage & ATG tables/reports are readily generated at the push of a button.

- 10. S E T T L E M E N T S C O P E During our油on-going pursuit油to provide the油best calibration services油we followed the natural progression into油developing comprehensive tank measurement solutions. These tank measuring services thus enable us to survey and analyse vertical storage tanks for structural anomalies which impair and subsequently compromise the efficiency and integrity of a vertical storage tank.

- 11. C O D E C O M P L I A N C E Refers to the cylinder deflecting or deviating from the mean radius essentially due to stresses on the cylinder, subsequently compounding the stresses throughout the cylinder resulting in peaking and banding and therefore weld failure. Refers to the cylinder top leaning over the adjacent bottom critical weld/floor. Occurrence can be due to multiple factors resulting in critical weld/tank & IFR failure. Refers to the critical weld deviating in vertical height when compared to adjacent油 locations around the periphery. Occurrence can be due to soil, foundation & edge settlement resulting in critical weld, tank & IFR/IFB failure.

- 12. C O D E C O M P L I A N C E This settlement refers to the critical weld settling over the foundation shoulder due to downward force applied by the cylinder and or crumbling foundation. Complete tank failure can occur due to excessive weld stress and corrosion due to exposed floor & water accumulation. This settlement refers to the localized & remote bulges and depressions which develop in the floor due to expansion and contracting of the tank as well as operational procedures in service conditions. Floor welds may start to tear or crack under the applied stresses and corrosion or metal failure may occur under the floor. Future instalments include floor sagging, banding & peaking, evaporation loss calculations, tank design, 3D tank scanning and reverse structural engineering to name a few E D G E S E T T L E M E N T F L O O R S E T T L E M E N T
