HCOTEG71400 – Receipts into
Warehouse: Receipt accounts
The warehousekeeper/producer must take an accurate account of
oil, etc. at the time of receipt. Advised quantities are not to be
simply accepted as the receipt quantity without checking, unless
specifically allowed.
Receipt accounts may be taken by:
- Meter for receipts by pipeline:
- Dipping the calibrated vessel into which
the oil, etc. is deposited;
- Dipping a rail tank wagon which brings the
oil provided that:
- the wagon is fully calibrated;
- copies of the calibration tables (if required) are available
for your use; and
- a responsible employee certifies in a suitable record that the
discharge into warehouse has been completed;
- exceptionally where another means of
measurement is practical - dipping a craft which brings the oil;
or
- gross weighing and tareing the tank wagon
which brings the oil (see the Section on ‘Measurement’
in this book of guidance).
