Device and method for volume determination

A method for conveying a medium (4) from a container (12) into a tank (6) and for determining the quantity of the medium (4), comprising the steps of:

• conveying the medium (4) a conveying device (10) and a conduit (14);
• separating absorbed gas from the medium (4);
• the gas separating step taking place at least partially in the tank (6), and
• measuring a filling level in the tank (6).

A device for separating gas from a medium and conveying the medium from a container to a tank and for determining the quantity of the medium, the device comprising:

• a conduit between the container and the tank;
• a conveying device connected to the conduit;
• a separator for separating gas from the medium, the separator being formed as an integral unit with the tank;
• a filling level measurer provided in the interior of the tank for determining the position of at least one boundary surface of the medium in the tank;
• the filling level measuring device having at least one dipstick;
• a calming pipe surrounding the dipstick, the calming pipe having individual openings;
• and
• a temperature measurer within the tank to measure the temperature of the medium and produce temperature data.

A method for conveying a medium from a container into a tank and for determining the quantity of the medium, comprising the steps of:

• conveying the medium via a conveying device and a conduit;
• separating absorbed gas from the medium, the gas separating step taking place a least partially in the tank;
• measuring a filling level in the tank with a device including a dipstick;
• calming the medium around the dipstick;
• and
• measuring the temperature of the medium within the tank to produce temperature data.
