  • (i) Correction for Impurities: The percentage of impurities (water, sand, and other foreign substances, not constituting a natural component part of the oil) shall be determined to the satisfaction of the Supervisor, and the observed gross volume of oil shall be corrected to exclude the entire volume of such impurities;
