267 (1) Subject to subsections (4) and (5), the limits of error set out in the tables to subsections (2) and (3) apply to all positive displacement bulk volumetric liquid meters, including vehicle-mounted meters, that are designed to measure volumes of 180 litres or more or 40 gallons or more of heavy petroleum products, such as bunker oils, foodstuffs such as syrups, liquid cattle feed, fertilizers of high specific gravities or other liquids of high viscosity.
(2) The limits of error set out in the following table apply to meters, generally of a size 65 mm or 2½ inches or smaller, that are used to measure liquids of high viscosity:
TABLE
Column I Column II Column III Item Known Test Quantity Acceptance Limits of Error In-Service Limits of Error 1 Any volume of 225 litres or more up to 900 litres or of 50 gallons or more up to 200 gallons ¼% of known test quantity ½% of known test quantity (3) The limits of error set out in the following table apply to meters, generally of a size 75 mm or three inches or larger, that are used to measure liquids of high viscosity:
TABLE
Column I Column II Column III Item Known Test Quantity Acceptance Limits of Error In-Service Limits of Error 1 Any volume of 1 350 litres or more, or of 300 gallons or more 3/16% of known test quantity 3/8% of known test quantity (4) The acceptance limits of error and in-service limits of error set out in the tables to subsections (2) and (3) apply to known test quantities equal to or greater than that delivered by the meter in one minute at maximum operating rate.
(5) The acceptance limits of error set out in Column II of the tables to subsections (2) and (3) apply only to tests under controlled conditions such as bench tests, and for tests for acceptance limits of error under other conditions, the limits of error set out in Column III of those tables shall apply.
