1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to address recommendations 6(ii) and 9 of the Downstream Petroleum Trade Sector Review (DPSR): to establish the Measurement Canada (MC) policy for the approval and inspection requirements of ancillary measurement devices for temperature, pressure, and density.
2.0 Scope
This policy applies to ancillary devices for temperature, pressure and density, when used in conjunction with approved weighing and measuring devices used exclusively in the downstream petroleum sector.
3.0 Definitions
“Device”: means any weight, weighing machine, static measure or measuring machine and includes any equipment and accessories attached to or used in conjunction with the device that have, or can have an effect on the accuracy of the device. (Section 2, Act)
NOTE: Other terms such as “component”or “element”, although not defined in the Act or Regulations are, at times, referenced and used interchangeably with the word “device” throughout weights and measures documentation.
“Transducer”: means a device which provides a useable output quantity having a determined relationship to the input quantity to be measured.
4.0 Background
As a result of consultation with stakeholders in the downstream petroleum sector, the following recommendations were submitted to, and approved by, the Senior Management Committee of MC:
Recommendation 6(ii): MC... clearly define whether ancillary device components (i.e., pressure, temperature and density) be approved separately, or as part of a complete measuring system.
Recommendation 9: MC... clearly define whether ancillary device components (i.e., pressure, temperature, and density) be inspected and certified separately, or as part of the complete measuring system.'
