![]() ![]() TankCalcAndroid - the TankCalc version for the Android platform. Java Executable (715KB) For non-Windows systems the TankCalc Java JAR file can be downloaded and run locally. ![]() Please download TankCalc and install it as a local application using one of the options below. TankCalc is also free.Īpplet Because of security changes in Java, the option of running TankCalc in a Web page no longer exists. It may be that TankCalc is the first widely available program that can handle so many storage tank types in so many different positions. TankCalc is a comprehensive Java-based storage tank analyzer that can accurately compute partial and full volumes for many kinds of storage tanks - cylinders, spheres, complex tanks with different kinds of end caps, vertical, horizontal, even tilted. I will have more to say, and in greater detail, about TankCalc's past and present, but first let's deal with access and downloading issues. Also, if you cannot acquire accurate dimensions for your tank, this geometric modeling method may not work for you - I recommend that you visit my tank profiling page instead. NOTE: For detailed information about tank measuring issues, and to compute tank shapes not explicitly covered by TankCalc, visit Volumes in Depth. But this is a secondary consideration to being able to write an application that will run virtually anywhere, now and in the future. One drawback to Java is that it isn't blazingly fast, and TankCalc, essentially a numerical integrator, requires speed. But the advantage of Java is that it isn't going away, older Java programs like my own Arachnophilia (fourteen years and counting) still function as intended and are still widely used, and there are Java runtime engines for a lot of different environments, many more than for other languages. And this is the only reason it's written in Java - if it were possible to write a fast, native-language version of TankCalc that would run on a lot of different systems and would not become hopelessly outdated in five years, I would write it in a faster language. TankCalc's present embodiment is as a Java application because this maximizes the number of places the program can successfully run. TankCalc is the most recent in a series of programs and mathematical methods I have written to compute partial volumes in storage tanks.
