GOST 8.510-2002 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 8.510-2002 — "State system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements. State verification scheme for means measuring volume and mass of liquid" (Russian: "Государственная система обеспечения единства измерений. Государственная поверочная схема для средств измерений объема и массы жидкости"). The standard defines the state verification (calibration) scheme, the highest-accuracy installation (УВТ), sets of working standards and the procedures for transferring units of volume and mass when verifying and calibrating means of measuring liquid volume and mass.

Abstract

This interstate (Mezhgosudarstvenny) metrology standard specifies the structure and requirements of a state verification scheme for measuring devices that determine the volume and mass of liquids. It covers two main parts: (1) means for measuring oil and petroleum products in pipelines and (2) fuel dispensers, water meters and chamber liquid meters, defining working standards, metrological characteristics and verification methods.

General information

• Status: Canceled / withdrawn (invalid as a national/interstate standard for mandatory use; listed as отменен).
• Publication date: Registered in 2002 (registration 11 Jun 2002), adopted by Gosstandart on 17 Jun 2003 and brought into force 1 Jan 2004. Some commercial catalogs list the printed/electronic edition dates as 2003–2004.
• Publisher: Interstate Council / Gosstandart (national adoption by Gosstandart of Russia); developed by VNIIR (All‑Russian Research Institute of Flow‑metering).
• ICS / categories: Metrology and measurement — ICS 17 (notably 17.060 Measurement of volume, mass, density, viscosity; 17.120 Measurement of fluid flow; and 17.020 metrology in general).
• Edition / version: Edition designated 8.510-2002 (Mezhgosudarstvenny/2002 text; reissued/registered in 2003 for national implementation).
• Number of pages: Approximately 11–12 pages (commercial catalogues and standards repositories list 11 or 12 pages in electronic/printed formats).

Scope

The standard applies to the state verification scheme for devices that measure the volume and mass of liquids. It establishes the role and requirements for the highest‑accuracy installation (УВТ), the composition of principal and working standards (including standards borrowed from other state verification schemes), principal metrological characteristics of working standards, and the procedures and allowable errors for transferring units of volume and mass from higher‑order standards to working measurement instruments. The standard is structured in two parts covering pipeline flow measurement of oil and petroleum products and various consumer dispensers and water/liquid meters.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and designation of the highest‑accuracy installation (УВТ) used for volume and mass metrology.
• Composition and classification of working standards (1st and 2nd rank) and borrowed standards from other verification schemes.
• Metrological characteristics required for working and reference standards (accuracy classes, uncertainties, operating conditions).
• Procedures for transmission (transfer) of unit values of volume and mass from УВТ via working standards to operational measuring instruments.
• Specific verification and calibration methods for two parts: (a) pipeline measurement of oil and petroleum products; (b) fuel dispensers, water meters and chamber meters (including allowed errors and test methods).
• References to relevant international standards and measurement practice used in calibration (for example ISO/IEC and ISO documents cited in bibliography).

Typical use and users

Primary users are national and regional metrology institutes, verification and calibration laboratories, oil & gas flow‑measurement facilities, utilities (water supply), manufacturers and service organizations for flowmeters and fuel dispensers, and regulators responsible for legal metrology and trade‑related measurement control. The document is used as a reference for setting up verification chains and for establishing calibration capabilities in laboratories that work with liquid volume and mass measurements.

Related standards

GOST 8.510-2002 belongs to the GOST 8 series (state metrology standards). Related documents commonly referenced include GOST 8.024 (density standards), GOST 8.417 (units), other GOST 8xxx documents on flow and volume measurement and international standards for flow and water meters (ISO/IEC references cited in the bibliography of the standard). National metrology collections and normative lists for flowmeter metrology group these standards together.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 8.510-2002 is a Mezhgosudarstvenny (interstate) metrology standard that defines the state verification scheme for instruments that measure the volume and mass of liquids. It specifies the organization of verification chains, reference and working standards, and transfer procedures for volume and mass units.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the structure and requirements of the verification scheme, technical and metrological characteristics of УВТ and working standards, allowable errors and main methods for verification and calibration of devices used to measure liquid volume and mass; it is divided into parts addressing pipeline oil/petroleum product measurement and consumer dispensers and water meters.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: National/regional metrology institutes, calibration and verification laboratories, oil and petroleum industry metrology services, utilities, manufacturers and service organizations for flow and volume measuring equipment, and legal‑metrology regulators.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard is listed as canceled/withdrawn (отменен) in official/legal registries and commercial catalogs; records show it was adopted in 2003 and brought into force in 2004, with sources indicating the end of its period of validity in the 2010s (catalog entries list completion/withdrawal dates). For legal/mandatory use you should rely on current national Rosstandart registers or official compilations of active standards to confirm the present legal status in your jurisdiction.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the GOST 8 series covering the State system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements (metrology). Many GOST 8 standards address specific measurement quantities, verification methods and standards for different types of measuring instruments.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: state verification scheme; volume; mass; liquid; flowmeter; calibration; working standard; УВТ; metrology; GOST 8.510-2002.
