API MPMS 17.6, 3rd Edition, September 2022 - Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 17.6 EI Hydrocarbon Management HM 70 Guidelines for Determining the Fullness of Pipelines Between Marine Vessels and Shore Facilities

This document describes procedures for determining or confirming the fill condition of pipeline systems used for the transfer of liquid cargoes before and/or after the liquid is loaded onto or discharged from marine vessels. While this standard primarily addresses pipelines between vessels and marine terminals, it can also be applied to pipelines involved in shore-to-shore transfers. It includes descriptions of methods and procedures that apply to crude oil and petroleum products.

While this document includes descriptions of common line fill verification methods, it does not recommend any particular method. The responsibility for selecting a method appropriate for a given terminal, and documenting its effectiveness, rests with those responsible for operating the terminal where it is applied.
