The VENDOR shall be responsible to submit, together with the quotation, the list of deviations and
/ or exceptions to this specification, project data sheets and other project documents including the
codes and standards. In the absence of such list, it will be construed that VENDOR fully complies
with the requirements.
3.8 Weight Control

The VENDOR shall exercise an active weight control system throughout the design and fabrication
of the package equipment.
The VENDOR shall submit the package equipment weight data sheet which shall contain the
following details:
 Dry weight – Installed weight excluding operating fluids, spares, tools and temporary
packing. Pre installed fills like lubricating oil, desiccants, etc shall be included in the dry
weight.
 Lift weight – Dry weight + Packing weight
 Operating weight – Dry weight + Weight of operating fluids
 Test weight - Dry weight + Weight of test medium
 Heaviest maintenance lift weight
 The location of the COG in the X, Y, and Z planes for each designated weight condition
VENDOR shall provide the package equipment weight data sheet at the following stages:
Bid Stage - The weight specified will be taken into account in the bid evaluation. The final weighed
weight of the item shall be within 20% of the weight reported at this stage.
Purchase Order Stage - The Vendor shall review the weight estimate provided in his bid and
advise of any variation in weight or COG location necessary to comply with the purchase order
specifications. The revised weight may include a specified positive tolerance which shall not
exceed 10% of the item’s final weighed weight.
The weight determined at this stage is the Upper Bound Weight and shall not be exceeded in later
updates without the written permission of the PURCHASER. This information, together with a
detailed sketch (included in the Weight Control Data Sheet) clearly showing the coordinate
reference location point for COG, shall be provided to the PURCHASER.
Where detailed design drawings are stipulated to be submitted to PURCHASER, they shall be
accompanied by an update to item weights and COGs at initial submission and at any subsequent
amendment submission. A detailed sketch clearly showing the coordinate reference point shall
accompany each submission.
The revised weight may include a specified positive tolerance which shall not exceed 5% of the
item’s final weight, nor exceed Upper Bound Weight estimate without the written permission of the
PURCHASER.
Weighing - Prior to the preparation for the shipment of completed items, the VENDOR shall carry
out a weighing of the complete package to obtain a final weight and location of COG. The final

Date : 15 Feb 2012
Page : 21 of 70
Rev :2
weight may include a specified tolerance which shall not exceed 5% of the item’s final weight.
The weighing method used shall be capable of accurately determining the COG location of all
items in the two reference planes. The VENDOR shall also provide an estimate as to the COG
location in the vertical reference plane. The VENDOR shall submit a weighing procedure for
PURCHASER’s approval prior to weighing.
A detailed sketch clearly showing the coordinate reference point for the COG shall be forwarded to
the PURCHASER as per agreed VDRL prior to scheduled delivery date.
The weighing shall be carried out using suitably calibrated weighing equipment which shall have a
calibration certificate not more than one year old. The results of such weighings, together with
duplicate copies of the calibration certificate, shall be forwarded to the PURCHASER at least seven
days prior to scheduled delivery date. The weighing certificate shall accompany the package during
the delivery.
