The goods in question shall, after such weighing or measuring is returned to the trader or the purchaser as the case may be; PROVIDED that if the trader or his agent or the other person (who has committed the offence) refuses to slgn the form, the Director or the person authorlsed by him In thls behalf shall obtain the signature of not less than two persons present at the time of such refusal by the trader or his agent or other person: (2) Where the goods seized under sub- section (1) are contained in a package and the package is false or does not conform to the provisions of the Act or any rules made there under and the goods In such package are subject to speedy or natural decay; the Dlrector or ay person authorised by hlm or Controller and other Legal Metrology Officers in thls behall; so far as may be, may dlspose of the goods In suc package in accordance with the provisions of sub-rule (1). (3) Where the goods seized under sub-rule (1) are not subject to speedy or natural decay tte Director or any person authorised by hlm or Controller and other Legal Metrology Officers In this behalf may retain the package for the purpose of prosecution under thls Act after glvlng the trader or his agent or the other person (who has committed the offence) a notlce of such selzure: 23. Tlme wlthin which unverified weight and measure to be verified and stamped No unverified weight or measure, seized under sub-sectlon (3) of Section 15, shall be forfeited if the person, from whom such weight or measure was seized, agrees to get the same verified and stamped within & perlod of ten days or such extended period ftom the date of such seizure; and for thls purpose, the person making the seizure of such welght or measure shall afford a reasonable opportunity by

5 · Adjusting cavty The standard weights must incude one or more adjusting cavities It must be possible t seal the closure of these cavities; the dosures must be water- tghtandairtight (e.gv by means ofa jint): The volume of adjusting cavities must be at least equal to 5/100 of the volume of the standard weight. Furthermore, It is desirable that, after the initial adjustnent; a volume ofat least 1/100 of the volume of the standard welght remains empty: 6, Material Standard welghts are in general made of grey cast Iron. They may be made of one or more other materials, provided the provisions of paragraph & are observed: The materlal used must be of such hardness and strength that they wlthstand the bads and shocks Ilable to occur under normal conditions of use: 7 . Surface condltlon The standard welghts may be coated with materials suitable tor providing protectlon against corrosion by rendering thelr surface impermeable. This coating must wlthstand shocks ad atmospheric conditions: Zinc-plating Is a example of a coating which meets with these specifications: 8. Metrologlcal characteristics The maxlmum permlssible error for the standard welghts must not exceed 1/3 'of the maximum permissible error for the corresponding load considered, on the weighing machine under verification. The absolute error for various denominations of standard weights shall be as given In Annexure I, These maxlmum perisslble errors for the standard welghts must therefore be compatible wlth the number of scale divisions on the machines whldh they " areintendto verify: Furtherore; the density of standard welghts must be such that a varlatlon of + 10 per cent ambient alr density, with respect to its reference value, does not produce a variation, In the result of weighlng the standard weight In alr; exceeding 1/4 of its maxlmum permissible error By way of appllcation of these requirements, the follwlng table glves examples of the relation amongst (a) the maxlmum number of scale dlvlslons ` n on welghing machines under verlfkation (assumed to be in accuracy dass III); (b) the maxlmum permissible positlve or negatlve relative error on standard welghts used for inltial verification of these machines; and (c) the corresponding lower limit for the density of the standard weights:

(For value of Qn and Qmax) The pressure loss within the meter may be measured with the help of manometer or differential pressure gauge or pressure gauges provided each at up-stream and down-stream: While the meter(s) are being tested for accuracy at Qn an Qmax' the readings between the Up-stream and down-stream in the pressure gauges P and P or manometers shall be taken for the purpose of computing the value of loss of pressure wlthin the meter; In case one meter is being tested the difference between the pressure gauge reading of PI and P2 or the dlfferential pressure shown by the dlfferential pressure gauge/manometer shall be the loss of pressure withln the meter In case loss of pressure is being measured for more than one meter at time, the difference between the readings of P and Pz be divlded by number of meters to obtain the loss 0f pressure in an individual meter; This, however; shall contain the line loss(es) contrlbuted by the connecting pieces between the two meters: For an accurate approach Iine loss(es) may be measured by joining the up ad down-stream spacers/pipe faces together in the absence of the meter/s (carefully avoiding protrusion into the pipe bore or misalignment of the two faces), and measuring the plpe pressure loss/line losses of the measuring section for each test at appropriate flow rates: While computing loss of pressure, across 1 or N number of meters tested in series, the loss registered by spacers/pipes in line losses be subtracted from the total value of pressure loss registered by difference between the readings of pressure gauge at Up-stream and down-stream to obtain the value of loss of pressure across 1 Or N number of meters; 3.
