Fuel Tank Strapping Table Calculator
This tool has been designed to help you estimate the volume of liquid in a tank based on its internal dimensions and shape. Whether you’re managing fuel stock or carrying out routine checks, a strapping table gives you a quick and reliable way to convert dip readings into accurate volume data.
Use the calculator below to generate a custom strapping table for rectangular or cylindrical tanks. Simply input the internal measurements and choose your preferred units. You can then export or print the results for easy reference on site.
Safety Note
This calculator is intended as a guide and should not replace any certified calibration or professional inspection. Variations in tank construction, fuel temperature, or ground settlement can affect accuracy. Always cross reference with official strapping charts where available and follow relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations.
Fuel Tank Strapping Table Calculator
Generate a strapping table by selecting your tank shape and entering its internal dimensions. The Dip Depth in the table is measured from the bottom of the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a strapping table?
A strapping table, also known as a dip chart, is a reference guide that converts dip readings (measured from the bottom of the tank) into volume values. It is especially useful for tanks that are not linear in shape, such as cylinders.
Can this replace official calibration?
No. This tool is a helpful guide but not a substitute for certified tank calibration or testing carried out by a professional.
Do I need to measure internal or external dimensions?
Always use internal dimensions of the tank (not bund) to ensure your volume calculations are as accurate as possible. If you are unsure, check your tank specifications or consult our team.
Can I use this for all fuel types?
The calculator provides volume estimates based purely on tank geometry, not fluid type. It can be used for any liquid stored in a compatible tank, but it does not account for specific gravity or thermal expansion.
