I didn\'t search the web for the English term, but you don\'t find the Dutch one there. I think that is because it is an awkward way of saying it. I think they mean with discontinue volume (discontinu should be without the \"e\") that there is not constantly a volume to determine the weight of. I can\'t image something about \"discontinue weegwerktuigen\".
I would have said \"weegwerktuigen voor wisselende volumes\".

intermittent = periodic, recurrent

Comment: "Thank you, Henk. This is what I thought... However, it is a bit strange, because the rest of the document use a very precise and clear terminology.
Thank you."

Why there is no mention of such a thing on the web / anywhere, apparently ?
