Axle loads for laden road tankers depend upon the configuration of the liquid tank. The paper determines the location of the centre of gravity of a liquid load in a tilted cylindrical barrel tank with dished and flanged ends and shows how the centre of gravity varies with the amount of liquid carried. The calculation permits greater accuracy in the determination of axle loads.
