About this file
This document is an Addendum to FAR 52.212-4, specifically detailing measurement and conversion standards for Aviator's Breathing Oxygen and Liquid Nitrogen quantity determinations. The addendum provides comprehensive guidelines for measuring product quantities in both CONUS and OCONUS locations, requiring contractors to use calibrated flow meters or weight scales for precise volume measurements.
The addendum specifies detailed conversion factors for transforming measurements from various units (standard cubic feet, normal cubic meters, liters, pounds, kilograms) to gallons for both Aviator's Breathing Oxygen and Liquid Nitrogen. It mandates that flow meters and weight scales must be calibrated either according to local regulations or manufacturer recommendations, with a maximum calibration interval of 12 months. The Government retains the right to have a representative witness quantity measurements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with established measurement standards.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4
Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Products and Commercial Services
DETERMINATION OF QUANTITY FOR AVIATOR’S BREATHING OXYGEN AND LIQUID NITROGEN
(a) CONUS QUANTITY DETERMINATIONS. The quantity of supplies furnished to CONUS locations under this contract shall be determined at the receiving activity on the basis of a Contractor-furnished (truck/trailer mounted) calibrated flow meter.
(b) OCONUS QUANTITY DETERMINATIONS. The quantity of supplies furnished to OCONUS locations under this contract shall be determined at the receiving activity on the basis of a Contractor-furnished (truck/trailer mounted) calibrated flow meter or weight using calibrated weight scales.
(c) The Government retains the right to have a Government representative witness quantity measurements performed by the Contractor.
(d) MEASUREMENT STANDARDS. All flow meters and weight scales used in determining product volume shall be calibrated within the frequency required by local regulation (foreign or domestic). If no local regulation exists, then the frequency of calibration shall be that recommended by the meter or scale manufacturer or every 12 months, whichever is more frequent. The net quantity shipped shall be reported in whole gallons on the DD Form 250 or commercial equivalent, whichever is applicable.
(e) CONVERSION FACTORS. When meters or weight scales are used to measure in units other than gallons, a conversion to gallons will be calculated using the below conversion factors:
For Aviator’s Breathing Oxygen.
| To convert from -- | Divide by -- |
| Standard cubic feet* | 115.1 |
| Normal cubic meters* | 3.025 |
| Liters (as liquid) | 3.785 |
| Pounds | 9.527 |
| Kilograms | 4.321 |
(2) For Liquid Nitrogen.
| To convert from -- | Divide by -- |
| Standard cubic feet* | 93.11 |
| Normal cubic meters* | 2.447 |
| Liters (as liquid) | 3.785 |
| Pounds | 6.746 |
| Kilograms | 3.060 |
