Volume Measurement Sample Clauses
The Volume Measurement clause defines how the quantity of goods or materials delivered or used will be determined, typically by specifying the method, equipment, or standards for measurement. In practice, this clause may require the use of calibrated meters, weighbridges, or third-party verification to ensure accuracy in recording volumes, and it can apply to commodities like oil, gas, or bulk materials. Its core function is to provide a clear and agreed-upon process for measuring volumes, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring both parties are fairly compensated or charged based on precise quantities.
Volume Measurement. (a) The flow Measurement Equipment shall be designed, built and installed to BS EN 1776. Further guidance is given in the Institute of Gas Engineers’ reports IGE/GM/1 and IGE/GM/4. In addition, the following standards/guidelines shall also apply:
(i) For orifice plate metering systems, BS EN ISO 5167;
(ii) For turbine metering systems, BS 7834 (ISO 9951);
(iii) For ultrasonic metering systems, BS 7965, BS ISO/TR 12765, AGA 9;and
(iv) For any other metering system, such standards/guidelines as may be agreed by National Grid.
(b) The uncertainty of the Measurement Equipments must be assessed in accordance with ISO5168 and the relevant parts of ISO5167, ISO9951 and BS 7965 as may be applicable (or such other standards as may be agreed between the Parties).
(c) The calculation of density for the purpose of calculating volume flow and for correction to standard conditions shall be such that:
(i) All densities shall be determined as kilograms per cubic metre (kg/CM);
(ii) The line density shall be [measured using an in-line densitometer. One densitometer shall be installed for each metering stream and these shall be installed in a ‘pressure recovery’ mode of operation to minimize the amount of gas vented to atmosphere.] [calculated from a gas composition obtained via a [gas chromatograph.] The calculation of line density will be in accordance with the latest version of the ISO 12213 using a live pressure and temperature; and
(iii) The reference density shall be calculated from [reference density determined using a relative density transducer] [gas composition obtained via a [gas chromatograph.] The calculation of reference density will be in accordance with the latest version of the ISO 12213 using Standard Pressure and Standard Temperature.
(d) The measurement of temperature for the purpose of calculating volume flow and for correction to standard conditions shall be such that:
(i) Temperatures shall be determined as degrees Celsius (°C); and
(ii) The requirements of the relevant parts of ISO5167, ISO9951 and BS 7965 as may be applicable (or such other standards as may be agreed between the Parties) are met.
(e) The measurement of pressure for the purpose of calculating volume flow and for correction to standard conditions shall be such that:
(i) Pressure shall be determined as bar gauge; and
(ii) The requirements of the relevant parts of ISO5167, ISO9951 and BS 7965 as may be applicable (or such other standards as may be agreed between the Parties) are met.
Volume Measurement. To ensure volume accuracy, the volume of each collection will be measured for payment purposes by a calibrated flow meter fitted to the milk collection tanker.
Volume Measurement. 4.1 Volume: Volume for each delivery shall be determined by Seller’s staff using the weighing machines installed at the applicable Shipping Center, and carrier’s vehicle shall be weighed before and after the loading operation. Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint an agent to witness weighing process of loaded Product, as well as to be present when weighing machines are gauged, and in the event any non-reconciling differences arise, opinion of an independent inspector shall be requested (which fees shall be paid in equal proportion by both Purchaser and Seller) “selected by the parties” from among those inspectors detailed in Exhibit 4 hereto in order to confirm those measurements. Seller undertakes to show Purchaser, upon request and at any moment, evidences that the maintenance and gauging schedule for weighing machines has been fulfilled in accordance with regulations then effective established by the competent authority in that field.
4.2 Effects: Volume measurements performed as above-mentioned shall be final and binding for both parties, except in the event of an evident error. However, and without prejudice to any subsequent right of the parties to prove an evident error in those measurements, determination of volume as aforementioned shall prevail for billing purposes and for obligation by Purchaser to make applicable payment in accordance with what is provided in Section 9.
Volume Measurement. 4.4.1. The method of measuring total dilute exhaust volume incorporated in the constant volume sampler shall be such that measurement is accurate to ∀ 2 per cent.
4.4.2. Constant volume sampler calibration The constant volume sampler system volume measurement device shall be calibrated by a method sufficient to ensure the prescribed accuracy and at a frequency sufficient to maintain such accuracy. An example of a calibration procedure which will give the required accuracy is given in Appendix 6 to this annex. The method shall utilise a flow metering device which is dynamic and suitable for the high flow-rate encountered in constant volume sampler testing. The device shall be of certified accuracy traceable to an approved national or international standard.
Volume Measurement. The DFO undertakes to ensure that the Measurement Equipment shall be installed, commissioned, operated and maintained to determine instantaneous and integrated volume flows out of the Delivery Facility such that:
Volume Measurement. 26.1 The Customer is responsible for providing adequate measuring equipment and/or method (which shall be subject to the Company’s prior written approval) to determine the Bulk Water Supply volumes used by the Customer for each off-take of Bulk Water Supply and shall submit the details of these arrangement for the Company’s approval. This is inclusive but not limited to: providing, installing, maintaining, testing, repairing, replacing, removing, disconnecting, and reconnecting meters and Metering Equipment.
26.2 The Company’s preferred method of recording the volumes of Bulk Water Supply used is via a meter.
26.3 Where a meter has not been installed or used to record the volume of Bulk Water Supply consumed, an alternative measure of direct calculation of water used by volume Measurement or deduced from water balance calculations shall be proposed by the Customer and agreed with the Company in writing prior to the off-take of any Bulk Water Supply.
26.4 The Customer shall not remove, adjust and/or interfere with the meter or the relevant measuring equipment (as the case may be) for the duration of this Agreement. In case of any evidence of interference with Metering Equipment, the Company reserves the right to refuse the supply of Bulk Water Supply to the Customer whole or in part.
26.5 All Bulk Water Supply supplied by the Company under this Agreement (subject to Clause 26.3) will be Measured as may be reasonably determined by the Company, and the volume of water supplied will be taken to be that reported by such agreed Measurements.
26.6 The Customer must advise the Company as soon as practicable if the meter or accessories are damaged or missing.
26.7 The Customer must take reasonable care to keep any meter or relevant measuring equipment (as the case may be) free from obstruction, damage, or interference.
Volume Measurement. For the purposes of measuring the volumes of ethanol applied to the Minimum Ethanol Volume Commitment, calculating the fees due under this Third Letter Agreement and any additional terminalling fees due with respect to such volumes of ethanol under Section 3(c) of the Agreement, the volume shall be the volume of ethanol received into the Refined Products Terminals.
