LPG double decaliter

FEATURES

The double decaliter ( “bombola metrica”) is a master volumetric capacity intended for the metrological verification of volumetric meters installed on LPG dispensers.
The amount of the delivered gas shown on the dispenser is compared with the level achieved in the double decaliter: several test are to be executed in order to reduce the errors due to the muiltiple variable affecting the measure of a volume of gas.

The LPG station must be equipped with a dedicated connection for the double decaliter in order to be able to operate safely.
SGIG has been appointed by Parma Chamber of Commerce (determination N.149 del 26 luglio 2001) as metrical manufacturer, being allowed to build and maintain special double decaliters.
