French term

cuves barèmées

French to English Science Food & Drink edible oils and butters
This in relation to the production of shea butter.
I understand what this means but can't think of the correct term in English:

"Le poids final est déterminé par calcul sur les cuves barèmées de XX"

You might need to change the word 'vat', depending on what you have use elsewhere — and also on their actual form.
