API MPMS Chapter 3.1B (R2016)

This standard covers level measurement of liquid hydrocarbons in stationary, aboveground, atmospheric storage tanks using automatic tank gauges (ATGs). The standard discusses automatic tank gauging in general, accuracy, installation, commissioning, calibration, and verification of ATGs that measure either innage or ullage. It covers both intrusive and nonintrusive ATGs used for either custody transfer or inventory control. The standard also covers the requirements for data collection, transmission, and receiving.
