36.—(1) For quantities equal to or greater than 2 litres the MPE on indications is:
Accuracy class | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.3 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.5 | |
Measuring systems (A) | 0.3% | 0.5% | 1.0% | 1.5% | 2.5% |
Meters (B) | 0.2% | 0.3% | 0.6% | 1.0% | 1.5% |
(2) For quantities less than two litres the MPE on indications is:
Measured volume V | MPE |
---|---|
V < 0.1 L | 4 × value in Table 3, applied to 0.1 L |
0.1 L ≤ V < 0.2 L | 4 × value in Table 3 |
0.2 L ≤ V < 0.4 L | 2 × value in Table 3, applied to 0.4 L |
0.4 L ≤ V < 1 L | 2 × value in Table 3 |
1 L ≤ V < 2 L | Value in Table 3, applied to 2 L |
(3) However, 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 3 or Table 4;
(b)the absolute value of the MPE for the minimum measured quantity (Emin ).
(4) (a) For minimum measured quantities greater than or equal to 2 litres the following conditions apply—
(i)Condition 1—
Emin shall fulfil the condition: Emin ≥ 2 R, where R is the smallest scale interval of the indication device.
(ii)Condition 2—
Emin is given by the formula: Emin = (2MMQ) × (A/100), where—
(aa)MMQ is the minimum measured quantity,
(bb)A is the numerical value specified in line A of Table 3.
(b)For minimum measured quantities of less than two litres, condition 1 applies and Emin is twice the value specified in Table 4, and related to line A of Table 3.
(5) Converted indication—
In the case of a converted indication the MPEs are as in line A of Table 3.
(6) Conversion devices—
(a)MPEs on converted indications due to a conversion device are equal to ± (A–B), A and B being the values specified in Table 3.
(b)Parts of conversion devices that can be tested separately—
(i)Calculator
MPEs on quantities of liquid indications applicable to calculation, positive or negative, are equal to one-tenth of the MPEs as defined in line A of Table 3;
(ii)Associated measuring instruments
Associated measuring instruments shall have an accuracy at least as good as the values in Table 5—
These values apply to the indication of the characteristic quantities of the liquid displayed by the conversion device. | |||||
MPE on measurements | Accuracy classes of the measuring system | ||||
0.3 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.5 | |
Temperature | ± 0.3 °C | ± 0.5 °C | ± 1.0 °C | ||
Pressure | Less than 1 MPa: ± 50 kPa From 1 to 4 MPa: ± 5 % Over 4 MPa: ± 200 kPa | ||||
Density | ± 1kg/m3 | ± 2kg/m3 | ± 5kg/m3 |
(iii)Accuracy for calculating function—
The MPE for the calculation of each characteristic quantity of the liquid, positive or negative, is equal to two fifths of the value fixed in (ii).
(7) The requirement (i) in sub-paragraph (6) applies to any calculation, not only conversion.
