16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less factual summary of most significant information. If document includes a significant bibliography or literature survey, mention it here.)

A manual for State and local weights and measures officials for
the examination and test of liquefied petroleum gas vapor measuring
devices. Definitions, test methods, and testing apparatus (including
description and calibration procedures) are given. Inspection and
test procedures are reviewed. A proposed test report form along with
suggestions on reporting the results of a test are included. Provision
is made for accommodating a changeover to metric units of registration
in the definitions, correction tables, procedures, and in reporting a test.

17. KEY WORDS (six to twelve entries; alphabetical order; capitalize only the first letter of the first key word unless a proper name; separated by semicolons)

bell prover; calibration; inspection; liquefied petroleum gas; pressure; report form; temperature; temperature compensator; test; vapor meter; volume.
