On the error in measurement of the net weight of crude oil

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

It is proposed that for crude oil moisture meters the error in measurements of the volume content of water be defined as the sum of the additive, multiplicative, and nonlinear errors. It is also proposed that the net weight functional dependence be specified in the form of a polynomial with known coefficients instead of stepwise assignment of the limits of the relative error in measurement of the net weight of crude oil according to GOST R 8.615.
