INTRODUCTION

This document is the Documentation File to API Publication 2518, Second Edition [A7]*.

The purpose of the Documentation File is to present detailed technical information related to the development of API Publication 2518 that includes: (1) the development of theoretical equations; (2) comparisons with test data; (3) a sensitivity analysis of the loss equation; and (4) other pertinent information that was developed during the preparation of API Publication 2518.

The Documentation File is divided into two main parts: Sections A through H pertain to the standing storage loss, and Sections I through L pertain to the working loss.

The standing storage loss equation in the Second Edition [A7] is different then that in the First Edition [A6]. Sections A through H present the development of the new standing storage loss equation.

The working loss equation in the Second Edition [A7] is the same as that in the First Edition [A6]. Sections I through L contain development information that originally appeared in the First Edition.

Section R contains a list of important References that were reviewed in developing the Second Edition. These references are cited in various sections of the Documentation File.
