- Abstract:
- In response to the digital transformation of metrology spearheaded by national and international quality infrastructure bodies, this paper lays the theoretical and methodological foundation for a new paradigm in the calibration of storage tanks within the oil and gas sector. Part I presents a structured framework that integrates the concepts of digital metrology, Industry 4.0, and distributed sensor systems into the domain of volumetric calibration. Emphasis is placed on the role of digital twins, metrological traceability in digital environments, and uncertainty quantification through software automation. The work systematically identifies the building blocks of this paradigm shift, ranging from intelligent infrastructure and real-time monitoring to semantic data integration and predictive analytics, establishing a basis for consistent, interoperable, and automated calibration practices. This foundational perspective serves as a precursor to the practical implementations and applied strategies elaborated in Part II.
