This chapter specifies the characteristics of stationary (fixed) or portable tank provers that are in general use and the procedures for their calibration. Guidelines are provided for the design@ manufacture@ calibration and use of new and/or replacement tank provers@ and are not intended to make any existing tank provers obsolete. More specific design criteria are available in NIST 1 Handbook 105-3@ Specifications and Tolerances for Graduated Neck-Type Volumetric Field Standards (includes Provers@ per Section 1.1 of NIST 105-3). Consideration must also be given to the requirements of any weights and measures authority that may be involved. 1 National Institute of Standards and Technology@ Gaithersburg@ Maryland 20899.
