ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS FOR VOLUMETRIC CONTAINER FILLING

MhCHifiES USED INPETROLEUM TRADE

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 9 March 1965, after the draft finalized by the Commercial Weights and Measures Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

8.2 At the instance of the Standing Metric Committee ( now the Directo- rate of Weights and Measures ), Government of India, a number of Indian Standards on testing the accuracy ofannmercial measuring instruments used in petroleum trade are being prepared by this Institution. This standard covers the general and test req uirements of the volumetric container filling machines used in petroleum trade. Besides, the series of standards for accuracy of commercial measuring instruments at present comprises the following:

*Is : 2801- Accuracy requirements for bulk meters used in petroo leum trade.

*IS : 3032- General requirements for testing the accuracy of commercial measuring instruments used in petroleum trade.

*Is : 303% Accuracy requirements for dispensing pumps used in petroleum trade.

0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express- ing the result of a test, shall be roonded off in accordance with IS : 2- 196Ot. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified v&e in this stand.ard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers the aeemaey requirements for volumetric container filling machines used in petroleum trade.

*Under preparation.

2. DESCSUPT’ZON ‘.

2.1 A volumetric con&n& filling machini shall consist of a basin or basins,

the capacity each of whkh shaU depend on the capacity of the cpntainers, which it is intend&l to 6li. The operation shall consist of first filling the machine to the required,- and then emptying out.thc contents into the container or containers..

3. .GENERAL REQV

3.1 The volumetric contaitkr fiiling -machine &all. comply with the general rquiremcnts specikd in IS : 3532+.

3.2 The desigil of the Ming machine shatl be such- that the measured quantity shall be entirely drained out on opening ofthe delivery valve.

3.3 The b&in shall .be pF*ded with adequtite sight glasses, observation windows, cut-off valve or other-means indicating clearly that the basin or basins are properly ch&rged.

3.3.1 The basin skII be provided eth .a suitable device, such as a displacer, to enable adjust-t of the capacity of the basin.

3.4 Every flexible hoot for discharging liquid from the ba$n together with the rigid ddivery pipe which emptie itself on discharge, shall be so arranged as to provide for qdy and adequate drainage of the liquid.

3.5 The filling machitie shall be +gidiy fitted on a stand.

3.6 The walls of thl Ibasin shail be stkong enough as not to cause any appreciable deflectiori due to the pressure of the liquid.

4. TESTS

4.1 All volumetric coxit&er fill&kg machines shall + tested for accuracy of discharge as follows.

4.1.1 A volumetric cokainer filli.ng machine ‘shall be tested under the actual working conditions with a suitable liquid preferably the one which the instrument is intended to deliver.

4.1.2 Before &e&kg a vohketrie container filling machine, the inside of the basin or basins and the discharge hose and pipe shall be wetted by filling the machine and emptying.

4.1.3 For testing v&metric container filling machines, a standard test measure shall be used:

- *General requirements for testing the accuracy of cohncrcial measuring instrummts

used in petroleum trade ( ttnde~pv~pr~ti~n ).

Dt3047-1965

4.2 The procedure for testing the accuracy of volumetric container filling machines shall be as follows:

a) The standard test measure shall first be filled to full capacity in order to wet all inside surfaces. ft shall then be emptied and completely drained.

b) The machine shall then again be filled to the full capacity.

c) -.The contents of each container of the machine shall be measured .with a standard. test measure/measures and the quantity so measured will indicate that the capacity is: I) within the permissible error, or 2) beyond the permissible error. -’

d) Ifd(2) be the ca$e, the container shall be adjusted until the errors .are brought within the permissible limits; and shall be repeated until the filling machines give two consecutive deliveries within the tolerance limits.

4.3 Every container of the filling machine shall deliver correctly within the limits of tolerance s.pe&ed in 4.4.

4.4 The permissible errors shall not exceed the limits specikl below,

Ca@tdy Ahximum Permissible Error in Excess oni~

10 litres and above @I percent

&low 10 litres O-2 percent

5. SEALING

5.1 The volumetric- container. filling machines shall be provided by the manufacturer with a plug/plugs or stud/studs of soft metal to receive the stamp or seal of the verifying authority. Such plug/plugs or stud/studs shall be provided in a conspicuous part of the machine and shall be made in such a manner as to prevent its removal without obliterating the seal/ seals.
