Common use of Quantity Determination Clause in Contracts

Quantity Determination. Quantities delivered: (a) into or from Vessels shall be measured by shore tank gauges or, if customary at that location, meters shall be used; in the event that shore tank(s) are determined to be active and it is mutually agreed that accurate shore tank(s) measurements are not available, then static shore tank measurements, at discharge or at loading, adjusted for OBQ/ROB shall be used; if both loading and discharging shore tanks are determined to be active then Vessel’s measurements at loading, averaged with the Vessel’s measurement at discharge, adjusted by valid Vessel’s Experience Factor (VEF) shall be used; (b) into or from transport trucks shall be measured by calibration tables, calibrated meters, or scale weights; (c) into or from tank cars shall be measured by standard tank car calibration tables or calibrated meters, or scale weights and (d) into or from pipelines shall be measured by terminal tank gauges or calibrated meters. The latest ASTM published standards will apply and a temperature adjustment will be made to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
