# CURIOSITY CORNER: How many quarts are in a crude oil tank with a capacity of 100,000 barrels?

by AmSpec Team

Here's a fun fact: did you know that a crude oil tank with a capacity of 100,000 barrels contains approximately 16.8 million quarts of oil? That's a lot of oil!

When it comes to sampling these tanks, our team of TIC Council-certified inspectors and surveyors brings a unique level of precision and skill. They are adept at taking samples using quart-size bottles that accurately represent the entire tank. The purpose of sampling is to obtain a small, manageable quantity that is representative of the entire parcel or designated part from all or part of a large parcel. We use different samplers and sampling techniques depending on the type of product.

Whether you require level, bottom, or running samples, our experts are well-equipped to meet your needs. They are trained to comply with API Chapter 8 requirements, ensuring you receive the best possible samples. So, if you need reliable and accurate sampling, you know who to call! We're available to help you with any inspection and surveying needs.
