1.0 SCOPE

This Specification describes CONTRACTOR’S weight and centre of gravity control, monitoring,
reporting and weighing requirements for equipment, packages, prefabricated module assemblies,
skids, vessels etc and bulk materials.

3.0 BID STAGE

The CONTRACTOR bid shall include the following information:

 The dry weight - the basic weight of the item without operating fluids or temporary
attachments.

 The operating weight - the weight of the item charged with operating fluids to its designed
maximum operating level.

 The test weight - the weight of an item charged with water (or other test fluid) to its design test
capacity.

 The lift weight - the weight of the item at the time of lifting including temporary aids such as
slings, shackles, lifting beams and attachment such as insulation, davits, ladders and
platforms etc (where applicable) but excluding operating fluids if not present.

 The location of the centre of gravity in the X, Y and Z planes for each designated weight
condition.

 The controls and procedures to be adopted to ensure conformity with this weight control
procedure.

The final weight of the item shall be within 20% of the weight reported at the Bid Stage. The
weight specified shall be taken into account in the Bid Evaluation.

The CONTRACTOR shall also include at the Bid Stage details of any packaging, shipping, lifting
or any other temporary weight associated with the supply of an item.

4.0 PURCHASE ORDER

4.1 The CONTRACTOR shall review the weight estimate provided in his bid and advise of any
variation in weight or centroid location necessary to comply with the purchase order
specifications. The revised weight shall include a specified positive tolerance which shall
not exceed 10% of the item's estimated final weight.

The weight thus determined is the Upper Bound Weight and shall not be exceeded in later
updates without the permission in writing of the COMPANY. This information, together
with a detailed sketch (see Attachment 1 - Weight Control Data Sheet) clearly showing the
coordinate reference location point for the centroid, shall be provided to COMPANY.

January, 2004 Specification No. EGP3-01.08 Page 5 of 8

 4.2 Where detailed design drawings are stipulated to be submitted to COMPANY in the
purchase order requirements, they shall be accompanied by an update to the item weights
and the centroid given at the initial submission and at any subsequent amendment
submission.

A detailed sketch clearly showing the coordinate reference location point for the centroid
shall accompany each submission. The revised weight shall include a specified tolerance
which shall not exceed 5% of the item's final weight, nor exceed the Upper Bound Weight
estimate without permission in writing of COMPANY.

4.3 Prior to preparation for shipment of completed items, the CONTRACTOR shall weigh the
completed assembly to obtain a final Weight and Centroid location. The final weight shall
include a specified tolerance which shall not exceed ±1% the item's final weight. The
weighing method used shall be capable of accurately determining the centroid location of
the assembly in the two dimensions of the horizontal reference plane.

The CONTRACTOR shall also provide an estimate as to the centroid location in the
vertical reference plane. The CONTRACTOR shall submit a weighing procedure for
COMPANY review prior to weighing.

4.4 A detailed sketch clearly showing the coordinate reference location point for the centroid
shall be forwarded to COMPANY at least 7 days prior to the schedule delivery date. The
weighing shall be carried out on suitably calibrated weighing equipment which shall have a
calibration certificate less than one year old. The results of such weighings, together with
duplicate copies of the calibration certificate, shall be forwarded to the COMPANY at least
7 days prior to schedule delivery date.

4.5 The CONTRACTOR shall advise the COMPANY as to the dates of each weighing giving
at least 7 days notice. The CONTRACTOR shall provide facilities to allow the witnessing
of such weighings by COMPANY’S representative. Duplicate copies of the calibration
certificate for the weighing equipment proposed shall be forwarded with advice of weighing
dates.

4.6 The CONTRACTOR shall provide COMPANY with access to all information he may
require to carry out an independent audit of the CONTRACTOR’S weight and centroid
information.

5.0 BULK MATERIALS

Where a quantity of identical items are purchased and accurate catalogue weights are not
available, a representative sample shall be test weighed. The number of items to be test weighed
shall be in accordance with the following table.

No. of Identical Items Representative Sample

1 1

2 2

3-10 3

11-100 4

100 Plus 5

Where unit weight materials are purchased and accurate catalogue weights are not available, a
representative sample shall be test weighed to confirm the unit weight. The minimum number of
samples to be test weighed shall be three, selected at random from the production process, for
each delivery of material from the CONTRACTOR.

6.0 WEIGHT DATA SHEETS

CONTRACTOR shall use the Weight Control Data Sheet and CONTRACTOR weighing
Certificate for reporting of weight control and certification information respectively.
