Tack Spread Rate

Question 1

What is the SECOND step when calculating the TACK spread rate after the before and after tank reading are taken?

Answer 1

Calcualting the LF covered in the tack run – THEN – converting the LF to SY.

Question 2

BEFORE/AFTER/AMOUNT OF HOT GALLONS

What is the FIRST step (encompasses 3 separate steps) when calculating the TACK spread rate?

(USING CALIBRATION CHART FROM THE TRUCK)

Answer 2

1) Get an Initial measurement of the amount of tack from the truck BEFORE the run.
2) Get a post measurement of the amount of tack AFTER the tack run.

3) CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF HOT GALLONS USED FROM THE 2 VALUES

Question 3

1) Find __ factor + 2) __ x Correction Factor

What do you do with the TOTAL amount of HOT GALLONS used?

(CALCULATING GALLONS AT 60 DEGREES F)

(2 Separate Steps)

(USING THE CONVERSION CHART)

Answer 3

2) Multiply the HOT GALLONS by the CORRECTION FACTOR

Gives you the tack amount used at 60 F
