Abstract
Volumetric calibration is used for high accuracy estimation of the function al volume-to-level relationship for vessels used to store hazardous liquids . An example of calibration of a vessel for reprocessed nuclear material is used to illustrate an analysis of calibration data. We advocate a Bayesian approach, with proper account of genuine prior information, using a revers ible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo method for estimation.
