Trim & Stability Sheet (Metric Units)
Description:
This spreadsheet automatically computes
trim, forward draft, after draft, metacentric height and stability margin.
It also computes
Electronic
Document Type: Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet Cost:
$25.00 US funds
Number of
Pages: single
sheet
Inputs:
 | The vessel's
Light Ship weight and centroids, vessel length, vessel
condition being evaluated (i. e. departure, arrival, 45% burnout,
etc.) |
| The
following is required for each item on board:
 |
Weights
and centroid information for passengers, crew, dry consumables (provisions
and stores) on board. |
|
Weights
and centroid information for cargo (dry and liquid) on
board. Free surface information is required for the tanks
carrying liquid cargo. |
|
Weights
and centroid information for consumable liquids carried
(fuel, water, etc.). |
|
| After the
above information is entered use the total weight obtained as a basis
for the following data input:
|
Input the
following Curves of Form data: Draft, LCB, LCF, KMt
and KML |
|
Input the Maximum
Allowable KG, or VCG, this is an optional input, but required
if you want to compute the stability Margin |
|
Outputs:
| The total
weight and centroids of the vessel in the condition being
evaluated. This includes all fluid weights present. |
| The total
free surface effect for all the tanks involved. |
| The trim
present, the trim angle, the forward draft, the after
draft, corrections for free surface in KG, the metacentric
height and the stability margin. |
