Liquid Measuring Devices

The next time you pump gas into your car, remember there’s someone out there making sure you get the amount you pay for. The Missouri Weights and Measures Division checks the accuracy of motor fuel dispensers, refined-fuels terminal meters, liquid propane meters (trucks and dispensers), and refined fuels delivery truck meters.

Specifications for liquid-measuring devices have been adopted from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44 Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices. This publication can be obtained for a fee from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, phone: (202) 783-3238.
