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:
$35.00 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.
