Common use of Determining the LNG temperature and the gas phase temperature Clause in Contracts

Determining the LNG temperature and the gas phase temperature. Each of the Small-Scale LNG Carrier’s tanks must be equipped with temperature sensors placed in such a way that at all times at least one sensor is located in the liquid and one in the gas phase, with the other sensors distributed at regular intervals from the top to the bottom of the tank. Only the measurements in the tanks concerned by the Loading are taken into account. The temperature of the LNG before Loading is determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of all the measurements from the temperature sensors immersed in the liquid. The temperature of the gas phase after the Loading operations is determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of all the measurements from the temperature sensors located above the liquid phase. The overall temperature measurement error, including the temperature measurement system element errors, must not exceed the values in the following table in accordance with standard ISO 8310. overall error of the measuring system
