3.2.7
Before commencement of discharge, ships manifold and line content shall be identified. In case of a product different from that to be discharged, the same shall be drained out in to slop tank of the tanker. Pipeline samples are to be monitored from both the end for its suitability for discharge of the product. In case the product lying in the pipeline is dormant for a month or more, samples such drawn shall be subjected to monthly monitoring tests as per Clause 4.4.1 (Appendix 2) For first five (05) minutes the tanker discharge shall be closely monitored (i.e. Test A), to ensure the quality of product that is being discharged and record maintained. Subsequently for the next half an hour of product pumping, samples (white oils only) shall be taken from top and bottom sampling cocks at jetty end / Ship's manifold every 10 minutes (at 0010-20-30 Minutes) and Test A (Appendix 2) done. From the shore end, samples shall be tested for Test-A every ten minutes, for half an hour (at 00-10-20-30 Minutes) after displacement of the 3 line content. If this test is unsatisfactory (the variation in density is more than 3.0 Kg/m (0.003 o gm/ml) at 15 C when compared to each batch / tanker tank density range). In case individual tanker tanks are having different densities, then the jetty end / shore end sample shall have a 3 3 density of within (+) 3.0 kg/m / (+) 0.003 gm/ml of the highest and (-) 3.0 kg/m / (-) 0.003 gm/ml of the lowest density of the tanker tank(s). These checks shall be chronologically recorded in the shore end and jetty end tanker log book (Appendix 9). Test A (Appendix 2) shall be done every hour during the pumping and chronologically recorded thereafter. The pumping shall be stopped if density variation is found beyond the limit mentioned in Clause 3.2.7.3. The pumping shall be resumed only after the reason for the variation has been established and necessary corrective action taken. Two litres retention sample each shall be taken both from jetty end and shore end during commencement, middle and end of the discharge, sealed, labelled and retained until quality of the product after receipt is established (Appendix 2A). In case of density variation, Clause 3.2.7.3 shall be followed. Sampling facility on receipt pipeline shall be so located that the top and bottom samples can be drawn from the same location of the pipeline.

INDUSTRY QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL 3.3.3
Before a Pipeline transfer is effected through a multi-product pipeline or a dedicated pipeline / local dedicated pipeline, it is to be ensured that the tank nominated for transfer of product is having homogeneous product with a certified density / batch test report. An upper, middle & lower sample from the individual tank/s nominated for transfer / receipt shall be jointly drawn. Measure the density of UML samples separately and record the density range observed for the tank/s. If the densities of the samples are within the tolerance limits a composite sample is retained (Appendix 2A) till the batch is established by the receiving location. In case variation in density is observed because of earlier receipt of different batches it is to be ascertained that the variation of density is within the tolerance limit of earlier batches. When a transfer takes place from a Refinery / Marketing certified tank(s) through dedicated pipeline, representative sample from the tank(s) shall be jointly drawn, sealed and retained (Appendix 2A). A valid test report from the Refinery / Marketing certified tank(s) shall be obtained for support. After receipt of the product a batch control log shall be maintained (Appendix 13). In case of inter company product transfer, additional test for quality monitoring as per Appendix 15 may be carried out. On completion of transfer, the procedure given in Clause 3.2.10 shall be adopted (Appendix 2, 2A, 12 & 15). At Tap-off Point tanks in which product/s along with interface is accommodated, a sample shall be drawn (Appendix 2A) from Top, Middle and Bottom (Bottom sample to be drawn from a height of 15 cms. from the bottom of the tank or above the level of water that may be present in the tank) after receipt and tested for density individually to ensure homogeneity of the product. If not 3 satisfactory [density variation is more than 3.0 kg/m (0.003 gm/ml) at 15 C between any two layers], it is to be investigated and reasons for density variation to be recorded in batch control Log and an individual layer batch formation test shall be carried out (Clause 3.2.10). If satisfactory 3 [density variation is not more than 3.0 kg/m (0.003 gm/ml) at 15 C between any two layers] the composite sample of TMB shall be subjected to batch formation test. The product from the tank shall be released only if the lab confirms that the product meets the requirements. In case of Kerosene, additionally Flash Point test also shall be carried out on top sample. A composite sample of Kerosene shall be retained for three months and record maintained as per Appendix 12.

INDUSTRY QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL 7.5 SAMPLING PROCEDURE
Section 7 Clauses
7.5 to 7.7
Observance of correct sampling procedure is of utmost importance since the quality of the product stock is very much dependent on the test results of the representative sample. Incorrect sampling procedure could therefore, result in costly repercussions, like down-grading, non-availability of product, loss of customers' confidence and unnecessary worry all around. The following precautions shall be sincerely followed when sampling:
7.5.1 7.5.2 7.5.3 7.5.4 7.5.5 7.5.6 7.5.7 7.5.8 7.5.9
The sampling bottle and sample containers shall always be kept clean. Before use, they shall be rinsed with the product under sampling. Only the type of sample required for the relevant specification to be tested, shall be taken. The sample quantity collected shall be sufficient for carrying out the relevant tests. Sample shall be taken preferably during the cooler part of the day and under shade. The sample container shall be filled maximum 95% of the container capacity, properly closed and it shall be ensured that there are no leaks. Sample details shall be entered in the form (Appendix 11 / Appendix 11A) as applicable and fixed to the container. An officer well conversant with the procedures shall personally supervise sampling and filling of the sample container. In case of specific requirement, the sample container may be resealed / relabelled / codified and proper record is to be maintained. A separate guideline is to be made in this regard, by concerned departments.
7.6 7.6.1 7.6.2 7.6.3
RETENTION OF SAMPLES
It becomes necessary to retain counter samples for a specific period for reference purpose. Sample(s) and documents are to be retained only at specific stages that are mentioned in Appendix 2A and in case of failure is noticed. The counter samples meant for retention shall be properly sealed and identified so that there is no doubt about the authenticity of the sample at a later stage. All the relevant details of the sample shall be mentioned in the sample label and attached to the container. The retention samples shall be stored in the location premises and a proper record shall be kept. The retention period shall be strictly adhered to. Details of samples retained shall be recorded as per Appendix 12.
7.6.4 7.6.5 7.6.6 7.7
SAMPLE LABEL
Formats for labelling samples is as per Appendix 11 / Appendix 11 A. Whenever joint sampling is being carried out, the sample label shall be signed jointly. This activity is normally carried out at the time of transfer of custody of consignment viz among refineries / pipelines / tanker / marketing / OMCs etc. as the case may be. SEALING OF SAMPLE CONTAINER Unique random numbered tamper-proof plastic seals, sealing wire, pliers are to be used for sealing of sample containers under Clauses 7.5.9 & 7.6.3 as well as in case of joint sample under Clause 7.7. Proper record is to be maintained about the inventory and issuance of seals.

However, the use of Ignition Improvers does not exempt the manufacturer from meeting this requirement prior to the addition of additives. 2) Fuel meant for vehicle meeting Bharat Stage II emission norms is required to meet either of these two parameters. 3) For fuel processed from Assam crude, Cetane number and Cetane index is relaxed by 3 units. 4) Winter shall be the period from November to February in Central and Northern plains of India (both months inclusive) and rest of the months of the year shall be called as summer. 5) Applicable for Naval applications and fishing vessels requiring high flash HSD. 6) For fuel processed from Assam crude, the density range is relaxed to 820-870 and 820-855 for Bharat Stage II and Bharat Stage III grade respectively. 7) In case of dispute (P: 32) shall be the referee test method. 8) For HSD supplied to Indian Navy, the limit of sulphur shall be in agreement between the buyer and the supplier. 9) In case of dispute, ASTM D-4294 shall be the referee test method. 10) This test shall be carried out only at the refinery or manufacturer's end. As an alternative, the test method given in Annex A can also be used with a limit of 1.6 mg / 100ml. In case of dispute ASTM D 2274 shall be the referee method. 11) Shall be applicable only for HSD blended with 5% (v/v) Bio-diesel and the limit shall proportionately vary as and when the different blending percent of bio-diesel is permitted. * Under review.
