Outside the United States, other technically equivalent national or international standards may be used. Certified capacity tables shall mean capacity tables prepared by an independent inspector or any independent surveyor to the aforementioned measurement and calibration standards. In addition, the following specific standards will be used as applicable:

(1) API MPMS Chapter 11.1, Temperature and Pressure Volume Correction Factors for Generalized Crude Oils, Refined Products, and Lubricating Oils (this chapter is an adjunct to ASTM D 1250, IP 200 and ISO 91- 1). Either the 2004 or 1980 version of the standard may be used. Either the printed tables (an adjunct to the 1980 version) or the computer subroutine version of the standard may be used. In case of disputes, the computer subroutine and the 2004 version of the standard will be the referee method.

(i) For crude oils, JP4, and Jet B, use Volume I, Tables 5A and 6A; Volume VII, Tables 53A and 54A; or Volume IV, Tables 23A and 24A.

(ii) For lubricating oils, use Volume XIII, Tables 5D and 6D; Volume XIV, Tables 53D and 54D; or Tables 23D and 24D (2004 version).

(iii) For all other fuels and fuel oils, use Volume II, Tables 5B and 6B; Volume VII, Tables 53B and 54B; or Volume V, Tables 23B and 24B.

(iv) For chemicals/additives, use Volume III, Table 6C (or Volume IX, Table 54C) or volume correct in accordance with the product specification.

(v) Volume XII, Table 52, shall be used to convert cubic meters at 15 degrees Celsius to barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Convert liters at 15 degrees Celsius to cubic meters at 15 degrees Celsius by dividing by 1,000. Convert gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit to barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit by dividing by 42. Should foreign law restrict conversion by this method, the method required by law shall be used.

(vi) As an option to (c)(1)(v), liters may be converted to gallons using Table F1.09A (see below). If this option is used, it must be agreed upon by both parties and shall remain in effect for the duration of the contract. Should foreign law restrict conversion by this method, the method required by law shall be stated in the offer.

(vii) If the original measurement is by weight and quantity is required by U.S. gallons, then--

(A) Volume XI, Table 8, shall be used to convert pounds to U.S. gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

(B) Volume XII of the adjunct to ASTM D 1250, Table 58, shall be used to convert metric tons to U.S.

gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

(2) API MPMS Chapter 4, Proving Systems. All meters used in determining product volume shall be calibrated using this standard with 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 manufacturer or every 6 months, whichever is more frequent. A meter calibration log/calibration certificates shall be maintained which, as a minimum, contains--

(i) Number/name of each meter;

(ii) Calibration frequency;

(iii) Date of the last calibration;

(iv) Due date for next calibration;

(v) Name and signature of the person performing the calibration;

(vi) Traceability to master meter/prover used for calibration; and

(vii) Calibration report number.

Each meter shall be marked with the date of the last calibration and due date for the next calibration. All calibration meter recordings and logs/certificates shall be kept on file and made available upon request. All calibration records (including logs or certificates) shall be retained on file for a period of three years.

(3) API MPMS Chapter 12, Calculation of Petroleum Quantities. All calculations of net quantities shall be made in accordance with this chapter. Outside the U.S., use of tank shell correction factor is not required unless its use is a customary practice for custody transfer.

(d) SHIPPING DOCUMENTATION. The following information shall be mechanically annotated on the contractor’s shipping document (such as a truck’s metered ticket) when the document is used to determine quantity under this contract: gross and net quantity (gallons or liters, as required), observed and corrected API gravity/density, and the temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius) at which the product was measured.. The following exceptions apply:

(1) Where government documents are the sole basis for payment, such as DD Form 250/250-1s, the information is not required.

(2) Where conveyances with temperature-compensating meters are used, the shipping document shall only be annotated with the corrected API gravity/density, the net quantity, and a statement that a temperature-compensating meter was used to determine net quantity.

(3) Where volume correction for temperature is not required in accordance with Paragraph (a)(1)(iii)(B) above, the shipping document shall be only be annotated with the API gravity (or density), gross quantity, and a statement that volume correction was not required.

(e) RIGHT TO REPRESENTATIVE. For f.o.b. origin deliveries, the Government has the right to have a representative present to witness the measurement of quantity. For f.o.b. destination deliveries, the Contractor has the right to have a representative present to witness the delivery and measurement of quantity.

(f) DISCREPANCIES . For f.o.b. destination deliveries utilizing volume corrected loading rack meter tickets to determine quantity:

(1) The quantities shown on the shipping document (volume corrected loading rack meter tickets) will be accepted as the quantity received, provided that any differences between that quantity and the Government’s receipt tank measurement at destination does not exceed one half of one percent (0.5%) of the amount on the shipping document.. If the difference is greater than one half of one percent (0.5%), the quantity determined by the Government using receipt tank measurements at destination will be used for acceptance and payment provided receipt tank measurements are identified in the Schedule as an approved quantity determination method for that line item. Quantity measurements using the methods specified in section (a)(1)(iii)(A) (1-3) above will be used for acceptance and payment regardless of any discrepancy with a loading rack meter ticket.

(2) If, the Government’s receipt tank quantity measurement varies by more than one half of one percent (0.5%) from the Contractor’s quantity measurement, the parties may conduct a joint investigation) of the variation in order to identify the cause of the discrepancy. Any quantity discrepancy that cannot be settled by the parties and results in a dispute shall be resolved under the Disputes provisions of the contract.
