6.2 Oil Content Meters for Bilge Alarms

  6.2.1 The layout of the shipboard installation should be arranged so that the overall response time between an alteration in the mixture being pumped and the alteration in the meter reading should be as short as possible and in any case not more than 40 seconds, to allow for remedial action being taken before the oil content of the mixture being discharged exceeds the permissible limit.

  6.2.2 The arrangement on board ship for the extraction of samples from the discharge line to the meter should give a truly representative sample of the effluent. Sampling points should be arranged in all discharge pipes which have to be monitored for compliance with the Convention.

  6.2.3 Where the Convention requires records, the oil content meter should be so designed and constructed that any operation carried out on them is automatically registered by the meter.
