- Fair trade
Metrology ensures that LPG volumes, weights, and energy contents
are measured accurately during transactions between suppliers and
Customers.
Example: verified weighing scales or calibrated flow meters prevent
Overcharging or under-delivery.
- Consumer protection
Consumer protection in LPG trade is crucial to ensure that consumers
Receive fair value, safe products and reliable services.
- Standardized measurement units:
Metrology promotes uniformity by using globally recognized
Measurement units or the international system of units (SI ) (e.g.,
Kilograms, liters, cubic meters). This is very critical for local, regional
and international trade.
- Safety assurance
Accurate measurements are vital to ensuring that LPG is packaged,
Stored, transported, and dispensed safely.
Overfilled or under filled cylinders can pose significant risks,
Including leaks and explosions. Metrological oversight helps mitigate
these risks, protecting lives and property.
LPG is stored under high pressure to maintain its liquid state. Pressure
Gauges help monitor and maintain the required pressure levels in
Storage tanks to prevent overpressure conditions that could lead to
Leaks or explosions.
This is vital for trade, safety, energy efficiency, and environmental
Compliance.
