16.—(1) The MPE on indications is set out in Table 2.
Accuracy Class | |||
0.3 | 0.5 | 1.0 | |
Meter measuring systems (A) | 0.3% | 0.5% | 1% |
Meter (B) | 0.2% | 0.3% | 0.6% |
(2) No matter what the measured quantity may be, the magnitude of the MPE is given by the greater of the following two values—
(a)the absolute value of the MPE given in Table 2;
(b)the absolute value of the MPE for the minimum measured quantity (Emin).
(3) For minimum measured quantities the following conditions apply—
(a)Condition 1 - Emin shall fulfil the condition: Emin ≥ 2R, where R is the smallest scale interval of the indication device;
(b)Condition 2 - Emin is given by the formula: Emin = (2MMQ) x (A/100) where—
(i)MMQ is the minimum measured quantity;
(ii)A is the numerical value specified in line A of Table 2.
(4) Converted indication—
In the case of a converted indication the MPEs are as in line A of Table 2.
(5) Conversion devices—
MPEs on converted indications due to a conversion device are equal to ± (A-B), A and B being the values specified in Table 2.
(6) Parts of conversion devices that can be tested separately—
(a)Calculator—
MPEs on quantities of liquid fuel indications applicable to calculation, positive or negative, are equal to one-tenth of the MPEs as defined in line A of Table 2.
(b)Associated measuring instruments—
Associated measuring instruments shall have an accuracy at least as good as the values in Table 3 and these values apply to the indication of the characteristic quantities of the liquid fuel displayed by the conversion device.
(c)Accuracy for calculating function—
The MPE for the calculation of each characteristic quantity of the liquid fuel, positive or negative, is equal to two fifths of the value fixed in paragraph (b).
(7) The requirement in sub-paragraph (6)(a) applies to any calculation, not only conversion.
MPE on measurements | Accuracy classes of the meter measuring system | ||
---|---|---|---|
0.3 | 0.5 | 1.0 | |
Temperature | ± 0.3ºC | ± 0.5°C | |
Pressure | Less than 1 MPa: ± 50 kPa From 1 to 4 MPa: ± 5 % Over 4 MPa: ± 200 kPa | ||
Density | ± 1 kg/m 3 | ± 2kg/m 3 |
[F1(8) The meter measuring system shall not exploit the MPEs or systematically favour any party.]
