ATCP 92.40(1) (1) Every meter used for the liquid measurement of liquefied petroleum gas sold or delivered to consumers shall be equipped with a thermometer well. The well shall extend into the flowing liquid either in the liquid chamber of the meter or in the meter inlet or discharge line immediately adjacent to the meter.

ATCP 92.40(2) (2) The thermometer well shall be constructed so as to permit insertion of a Fahrenheit thermometer which has one-degree graduations, spaced at least 0.04 inch apart.

ATCP 92.41 ATCP 92.41 Manual volume correction. When liquefied petroleum gas is sold or delivered to consumers by liquid measurement through use of a liquid meter that is not equipped with an automatic temperature compensating mechanism, then its volume shall be corrected to a temperature of 60° F. through use of the volume correction factor table set forth in this paragraph. To correct measured volume to volume at 60° F., determine the temperature of the liquid after midpoint in the delivery from the thermometer referred to in s. ATCP 92.40, find the observed temperature in the temperature column in the table, refer to the appropriate column for the product delivered, read the volume conversion factor opposite the observed temperature, and multiply the volume delivered as indicated by the meter by the factor to obtain the volume at 60° F.
