Foreword
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 24964-2010 "Custody Handover Procedures for Frozen Light Hydrocarbon Fluid Liquefied Natural Gas Ships". This standard and
Compared with GB/T 24964-2010, the main technical changes are as follows.
---Modified the scope of the standard (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the.2010 edition);
---Modified normative reference documents (see Chapter 2, Chapter 2 of the.2010 edition);
--- Deleted terms and definitions "end custody transfer", "custody transfer", "board custody transfer system", "start custody transfer", and "hot calibration"
Coefficient" (see 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 in.2010 edition);
--- Added 33 terms and 30 abbreviations (see 3.1, 3.2);
---Added general operational safety measures and regulatory requirements (see Chapter 4);
---Added the performance index requirements, calibration and certification, tank capacity meter, pre-cooling meter, radar level gauge and float liquid of measuring system and equipment
The structure principle and use precautions of the level gauge and capacitance level gauge (see Chapter 5);
---Modified the requirements of temperature measurement time (see 6.2.7,.2010 edition 6.3);
---Modified the pressure measurement time requirements (see 6.2.8,.2010 edition 6.4).

Introduction
This standard provides recognized cargo volume measurement methods for LNG carriers involved in LNG ship-to-shore trade, including cargo volume measurement,
Reporting and recording methods.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a unified specification for the measurement of cargo volume on LNG carriers, so as to calculate its energy. Details of this standard
Describes the currently commonly used methods for measuring the volume of goods, but does not exclude the use or development of other technologies or methods, or revised versions of these methods.
Readers are advised to conduct a detailed review of the latest editions of publications, standards and documents cited in this standard in order to improve the understanding of the methods described.
understanding.
This standard is not intended to replace other organizations, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Shipping Union (ICS), and the International Maritime Forum of Petroleum Companies
(OCIMF), International Group of LNG Importing Countries (GIIGNL), International Association of Gas Carriers and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO), or
Safety or operating regulations recommended by self-employed companies. This standard is not intended to replace any other safety or environmental factors, local regulations or contracts.
Special terms.
This standard uses the International System of Units as the main measurement unit, because the International Unit is a common unit for the measurement of goods in the industry. but,
Since the cargo holds of some LNG carriers are calibrated according to common U.S. units, and some purchase and sale contracts also use U.S. common units, this standard is both
International units are given, and equivalent American common units are also provided. All parties involved in the LNG custody transfer agree to use the correct unit
