  2. Cargo control room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_control_room

    Tank level information is often sent to computers that calculate hull stresses such as shear forces and bending moments. [4] Various other functions are available in some cargo control rooms. [4] Many offer the person in charge additional monitoring and control systems, [4] the ability to monitor inert gas systems, [4] and tank pressures. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Hydrostatic pressure level sensors are submersible or externally mounted pressure sensors suitable for measuring the level of corrosive liquids in deep tanks or water in reservoirs. Typically, fluid level is determined by the pressure at the bottom of the fluid containment (tank or reservoir); the pressure at the bottom, adjusted for the ...

    The other method is vacuum monitoring where vapour sensor monitors interstitial spaces of the tank. In case of the leakage the vacuum of the space begins to change. It is also possible to partially fill the interstitial space of the tank with a monitoring fluid (brine or glycol solutions ). Once the level of the fluid changes, a leak may be ...
