14、ermission from the publisher.Foreword This publication was prepared jointly by the American Petroleum Institute Committee on Petroleum Measurement and the Energy Institute Hydrocarbon Management Committee. The American Petroleum Institute Committee on Petroleum Measurement (COPM) and the Energy Inst

15、itutes Hydrocarbon Management Committee (HMC) are responsible for the production and maintenance of standards and guides covering various aspects of static and dynamic measurement of petroleum. The API/EI Joint Committee on Hydrocarbon Management (JCHM), its sub-committees and work groups consist of

16、 technical specialists representing oil companies, equipment manufacturers, service companies, terminal and ship owners and operators. The API/EI JCHM encourages international participation and when producing publications its aim is to represent the best consensus of international technical expertis

17、e and good practice. This is the main reason behind the production of joint publications involving cooperation with experts from both the API and EI. This standard is intended to provide guidelines for measurement and sampling of cargoes on board tank vessels using closed and restricted equipment. H

18、owever, it is not intended to preclude the use or development of any other technologies or methods. To gain a better understanding of the methods described in this standard, the reader should review in detail the latest editions of the publications, standards and documents referenced herein. SI unit

19、s are used throughout this publication as the primary units of measure since this system is commonly used in measurement and sampling. However, US Customary (USC) units continue to be used in some applications. Therefore, both SI and USC units are shown (with USC in parentheses). This standard is no

20、t intended to supersede any safety or operating practices recommended by organisations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT), International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF

21、), or individual operating companies, nor is the publication intended to supersede any other safety or environmental considerations, local regulations, or the specific provisions of any contract. All shipboard procedures described in this standard should be performed by or in the presence of the shi

22、ps master, or their designated representatives. For reasons of safety, only approved equipment certified intrinsically safe or otherwise approved suitable for its intended use shall be used. API/EI standards are published as an aid to procurement of standardised equipment and materials and/or as goo

23、d practice procedures. These standards are not intended to inhibit purchasers or producers from purchasing or producing products made to specifications other than those of API or EI. Classified areas may vary depending on the location, conditions, equipment, and substances involved in any given situ

24、ation. Users of this standard should consult with the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction. Users of this standard should not rely exclusively on the information contained in this publication. Sound business, scientific, engineering, and safety judgment should be used in employing the informa

25、tion contained herein. Shall: As used in a standard denotes a minimum requirement in order to conform to the requirement. Should: As used in a standard, denotes a recommendation or that which is advised but not required in order to conform to the requirement. This publication was produced following

26、API/EI standardisation procedures that ensure appropriate notification and participation in the developmental process and is designated as an API/EI standard.
