Weights and Measures Regulations (C.R.C., c. 1605)

53 In this Part and in Schedule IV,

cylindrical graduated standard

cylindrical graduated standard means a local standard of volume or capacity that is made of glass or metal, has a cylindrical shape and, if made entirely of glass, bears graduations on the glass or, if made of metal, bears graduations that are adjacent to a glass window in the metal; (étalon cylindrique gradué)

gravimetric prover standard

gravimetric prover standard means a local standard consisting of a tank mounted on a weighing machine and used for determining

• (a) the mass of a product, or

• (b) the volume of a liquid on the basis of the mass registered on the weighing machine and the density of the liquid; (cuve étalon gravimétrique)

hydrometer standard

hydrometer standard [Repealed, SOR/2005-297, s. 11]

master meter standard

master meter standard means a local standard that registers by mechanical, electrical or electronic means or any combination thereof, in units or multiples or subdivisions of units of volume, the quantity of liquid that passes through the standard during an interval of operation; (compteur étalon-témoin)

narrow neck glass standard

narrow neck glass standard [Repealed, SOR/93-234, s. 2]

narrow neck metal standard

narrow neck metal standard [Repealed, SOR/93-234, s. 2]

narrow neck standard

narrow neck standard means a local standard of volume or capacity that has, on or adjacent to the narrow neck of the standard, a mark indicating the volume or capacity of the standard, or that has a machined rim that indicates the volume or capacity of the standard; (étalon à col étroit)

nominal value

nominal value means

• (a) in the case of a local standard of mass or weight, the mass or weight shown on that standard,

• (b) in the case of a local standard of length, the length between any two graduations on that standard,

• (c) in the case of a narrow neck standard, the volume or capacity shown on that standard,

• (d) in the case of a cylindrical graduated standard, the maximum volume or capacity shown on that standard,

• (d.1) in the case of a stoppered pycnometer standard, the volume or capacity of the standard when filled and stoppered at reference conditions,

• (e) in the case of a master meter standard, gravimetric prover standard, pressure hydrometer standard, standard of temperature or electricity measuring standard, the value shown by that standard for any particular test, and

• (f) in the case of a pipe prover standard, the volume of the standard stabilized at a temperature of 15°C and 101.325 kPa internal pressure as shown on the certificate issued for that standard pursuant to section 13 of the Act; (valeur nominale)

pipe prover standard

pipe prover standard means a local standard consisting of a pipe equipped with a piston or ball in which the volume of liquid displaced when the piston or ball traverses all or any part of the length of the pipe is registered by mechanical, electrical or electronic means or any combination thereof. (tube étalon)

pressure hydrometer standard

pressure hydrometer standard means a local standard that indicates the density or relative density of a fluid under pressure. (hydromètre étalon à pression)
