Initial Calibration Sample Clauses
Initial Calibration. The Transporter shall arrange or caused to be arranged, for each tank of each LNG Tanker, a calibration of volume against tank level. The Transporter shall provide Project Co or its designee, or cause Project Co or its designee to be provided, with a certified copy of tank gauge tables for each tank of each LNG Tanker verified by a competent impartial authority or authorities mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Such tables shall include correction tables for list, trim, tank contraction and any other items requiring such tables for accuracy of gauging. Tank gauge tables prepared pursuant to the above shall indicate volumes in cubic meters expressed to the nearest thousandth (1/1000), with LNG tank depths expressed in meters to the nearest hundredth (1/100).
Initial Calibration. Initial calibration of any analytical instrument is instrument, as well as methodology, dependent. Calibration normally consists of use of several levels of a reference standard and a blank. Generally, instrument standard calibration (and therefore sample quantification) in the Organics department is based on calibration curves comprised of 3‐5 standards of known concentration; for the Metals department, 2‐5 standards; and for Wet Chemistry, 3‐5 standards. All the above are excluding the calibration blank, if required. The minimum number of standards used is often dictated by the SOP or method. Sufficient raw data are retained to reconstruct the calibration used to calculate the sample result. Calibration standards include a concentration at or below the regulatory/decision level but above the laboratory’s detection limit. Reporting limits are not less than the lowest calibration standard. For AIHA‐LAP, LLC samples a RL verification is analyzed with each batch of samples. This is a standard spiked at the reporting limit. Annually a matrix matched reporting limit (RL) verification needs to be analyzed. Results of samples must be within the calibration range (bracketed by standards) or the results must be flagged as having less certainty, unless reported to the MDL and qualified with a “J” flag at the request of the client. Results over calibration for will not be reported unless requested by the client. Note: Due to CT RCP requirements to report two dilutions, clients requesting to follow CT RCP protocols will be requesting to report data over the calibration with “E” qualifiers if applicable. If calibration parameters are outside of method specified performance criteria, data will be flagged as estimated or not reported until a valid calibration is obtained.
