Read full description

This app provides volume and/or densities changes calculations due to temperature and pressure changes. Calculations are for Crude Oil, Refined Products, Lube Oils, LPG/NGL and Specialized products. Refined Products include gasolines, alkylate, naphtha, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel. Minimum data requirements are: Density (API, S.G. or kg/m3), temperature (Β°F) at which density was measured and pressure (PSI). A volume is not required, but if entered, the corrected volume will be calculated. The volume measurement conditions need be indicated: either at (1) the density temperature and pressure or (2) at the Alternate temperature and pressure. Volume units of measure are not required. The latest case performed is saved and can be recalled from memory. Base conditions are 60Β°F and 0 PSI . Based on API published correlations. Run ten cases guiven a range and display the results in a table and graph format. The graph shows the equation and the linear correlation coefficient. Individual cases can be saved to a text file that can be exported. Tables can be created for Volume Correction Factors (CVF) and stored as a comma separated values (CSV) or Excel files. The tables can be exported to the phone's file system or by email.

Transform your device into a professional radar simulator and collision avoidance training tool. CASim is designed for maritime cadets, deck officers, and navigation enthusiasts who want to master the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) through practical application. Bridge the gap between theory and reality. Practice identifying risks on the radar scope, correlating them with visual aspects, and executing the correct maneuvering actions. Key Features: - Realistic Radar Simulator: Experience a fully functional Head-Up radar scope complete with variable range scales, target trails (history), and relative motion vectors. - Tactical Plotting (MoBoard): Integrated digital Maneuvering Board. Plot targets manually or automatically to calculate CPA (Closest Point of Approach), TCPA, and determine the precise course to steer to avoid collisions. - Visual Aspect Visualization: See what the target ship looks like in reality. The app generates 3D models with correct Navigation Lights (Night) and Day Shapes based on the target’s aspect angle. - Restricted Visibility Mode: Simulate fog conditions (Rule 19). Test your ability to navigate using only radar and sound signals. - Sound Signals: Authentic fog signals (Rule 35) are generated automatically based on the vessel type and status (Underway, Stopped, NUC, Anchored, etc.). - Custom Scenarios: Create your own traffic situations with multiple targets, varying speeds, and ship types to challenge your skills. Whether you are preparing for your competency exams or refreshing your skills, CASim provides the most comprehensive simulation environment right in your pocket.
