Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 165 - Corporation Commission › Chapter 15 - Fuel Inspection › Subchapter 15 - Liquid Measuring Devices › Part 3 - CALIBRATION AND TOLERANCES › Section 165:15-15-8 - Duty to zero equipment

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Tolerances are primarily accuracy criteria for use by the
					 regulatory official. However, when a liquid measuring device is being adjusted
					 for accuracy, either initially or following repair after official rejection,
					 the effect should be to adjust as closely as practicable to zero error.
					 Equipment owners or operators shall not take advantage of tolerances by
					 deliberately adjusting their equipment to have a value or to give a performance
					 at or close to the tolerance limit, nor should the repairman or serviceman
					 bring measuring devices merely within tolerance range when it is possible to
					 adjust closer to zero error. If the majority of meter tolerances measured by
					 the fuel specialist are below zero, the fuel specialist shall require those
					 affected meters be recalibrated as close to zero as possible.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The official
				  tolerances prescribed by the Commission for commercial equipment are the limits
				  of inaccuracy officially permissible within the State of Oklahoma. Tolerances
				  are established, to fix the range of inaccuracy within which equipment will be
				  officially approved for commercial use. Tolerances using a five (5) gallon test
				  measure are ± 3 cubic inches when applied to new or newly reconditioned
				  or adjusted equipment. Tolerances using a five (5) gallon test measure on all
				  measuring devices must not exceed ± 6 cubic inches. More than -15 cubic
				  inches in accuracy will result in immediate shut down of the affected
				  meters.
(b) Tolerances for new or
				  newly reconditioned equipment apply as follows:
(1) To any equipment about to be put into
				  commercial use for the first time.
(2) To equipment that has been placed in
				  commercial service within the preceding 30 days and is being officially tested
				  for the first time.
(3) To
				  equipment that has been returned to commercial service following official
				  rejection for failure to conform to performance requirements and is being
				  officially tested for the first time within 30 days after corrective
				  service.
(4) To equipment that is
				  being officially tested for the first time within 30 days after major
				  reconditioning or overhaul.
