scope:
This publication defines the various terms (be they words or symbols) employed in the calculation of metered petroleum quantities. Where two or more terms are customarily employed in the oil industry for the same thing, this publication selects what should become the new standard term, for example, "run tickets," "receipt and delivery tickets," and the like are herein simply "measurement tickets."
The publication also specifies the equations which allow the values of correction factors to be computed. Rules for sequence, rounding, and significant figures to be employed in a calculation are given. In addition, some tables, convenient for manual as well as computer calculations, are provided.
