                                                Great for estimating costs of insulation, sandblasting, and painting!

Tank Surface Area & Insulation Calculations ver. 2.3 is designed for use in Windows 2000, XP and NT 3.51 or greater. Suggested RAM 152 MB minimum. This software program will automatically calculate the exterior or interior surface area, insulation surface area and your insulation costs for most tanks including heads. Great for estimating costs of sandblasting and painting,! If you wish, we can modify the software to suit your specific needs!

The Project Manager of the vessel insulating company who requested we design this software, e-mailed us shortly after evaluating the program:

"By the way I think the software is fantastic, I've been able to try it out. If we can make those last changes I think it'll be perfect."

We incorporated those last changes!

Features -

Save time - Automatically calculates the insulation required and costs as well as surface area for most tanks including heads. Saves data by tank number with each head broken-out and prints Report with tank data including Cost Sub-totals and Grand Total for all tanks. The full Report can also be exported to Microsoft Excel or other similar applications and can be e-mailed direct. All data is saved by tank number for retrieval. Input to calculations is in inches with conversions calculations to metric readily available. The outputs are in sq.ft., and sq.m. with area conversions calculations readily available. Prints a snapshot of the calculations form including the current time and date. On request, we can modify the program to better suit your needs.

Report Preview Window: Shows a preview of the Report; how to make the print preview window larger, print the report, how to send the Report by e-mail, and how to export the Report to Microsoft Excel as well as to other programs.

           The Tank Report will sort data so that all the vessels with the same number (top, shell and
             bottom head) are to-gether costs sub-totaled. The Grand Totals are shown at bottom of the
             last page.
