Abstract
Equations and estimates are obtained for the errors in measuring the mass of petroleum and petroleum products by an indirect method. Versions of measurements of the level of a product using a tape measure and a level gauge are considered. Examples of calculations of the errors in measuring the mass of a product and the mass of a dose are given, which enable both methods to be compared.
