As prescribed in 46.311-95 insert the following clause:
ACQUSIITION OF LIQUIDS IN BULK QUANTITIES (AUG 2008) - DLAD
(a) Acquisition by Weight: The weights of the liquid delivered shall be determined by empty and loaded scale weights of the transport vehicle. If scales are not available, the weight of the liquid shall be determined by the volume of the liquid. The measurement temperature and sample of the contents of the transport vehicle shall be taken immediately after loading. The density of the liquid at the temperature taken at the time of measurement shall be determined by a method accurate to within 0.1%. The volume (in gallons) multiplied by the density (in pounds per gallon) will be the pounds loaded.
(b) Acquisition by Volume: The volume of the liquid delivered shall be obtained by either of two methods.
(1) By volume. The volume of liquid in the transport vehicle shall be obtained by measurement. The temperature and sample of the liquid shall be taken at the time of measurement. If the temperature of the liquid is different than the temperature stated in the procurement document, the volume shall be corrected by:
(i) The known coefficient of expansion of the liquid, Or
(ii) By determining the density of the liquid at the loading temperature and calculating the weight of the load, then dividing this weight by the known density (pounds per gallon) of the liquid temperature specified in the procurement document.
(2) By Weight: The new weight of the liquid contents in the transportation vehicle is divided by the density of the liquid (expressed in pounds per gallon) at the temperature specified in the procurement document. The results will be gallons at this temperature. The Contractor shall furnish the Government representative all the necessary data and certifications required to determine the correctness and accuracy of the facilities and apparatus used in determining the quantity of liquids delivered.
