This week, the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) held its Interim Meeting in Savannah, GA. Two proposals that will impact propane dispenser operations were discussed. LPG-23.1 addresses the need to exempt analog/mechanical dispenser metering systems from having to retrofit an automatic zero-setback function. LPG-23.2 would increase the time from 3 to 5 minutes of no flow before automatic shutdown of a truck-mounted delivery system would occur. Both proposals advanced to a critical stage, setting up for approval by final vote at the July in Norfolk, VA. In addition, LPG-15.1 was included on the docket for approval at the July meeting. LPG-15.1 would achieve a longtime goal of NPGA allowing the use of a “master meter” to verify the accuracy of industry stationery and truck mounted meters, instead of the volumetric prover that is currently required.
