iii) Release master valve levers to ensure product fills the pipelines, where
tank lorries are normally calibrated with lines full, before checking dips
(Refer Calibration Certificate).
iv) Dealer to check that the Density of product @ 15 Degree C using ASTM Tables (53B) is within +/- 3.0 Kg/M3 as compared with the challan density for ascertaining quality of product.
v) Ask the tank lorry driver to produce certificate of calibration which
would mention product level and proof level details.
vi) Check Weights & Measures markings on the dip rod at the bottom as
well as at the proof level. As an additional check, verify dip rod
calibration with an standard measuring tape.
vii) Check dips of the product in all compartments with the dip rod duly
certified by Weights & Measures Department and provided with the tank

finding paste. Before commencing tank lorry decantation operation, the
sales from the concerned underground tank at the Retail outlet should
be stopped till the completion of decantation.
viii) Having ascertained the quantity of the product by the above method,
draw samples after draining approx. 20 liters of the product from the
manifold from each compartment in a clear glass container for
density/temperature for quality checks.
ix) In case of doubt as to the quality of product, contact the Supply
Location/concerned Area Field Officer for further instructions.

decantation, the dealer/his representative shall draw bottom samples

the composite product in the storage tank after receipt. The density at
15 Degrees C, thus ascertained should be recorded in the density
register. The density records should be maintained in the format
attached as Annexure 1.
