Special equipment to test bulk fuel acquired by GNBS
Government in collaboration with the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) purchased a 500- liter mobile Volumetric Field Standard Test Measure used to verify bulk terminal tests at various gas stations.
The “Seraphin Test Measure” will be used for the calibration of liquid petroleum meters. Seraphin measures are designed to ensure there is no chance for air entrapment, as well as providing a complete and consistant drain. Accuracy and repeatability are the keys to the measurable success.
GNBS representative explaining the use of the “Seraphin Test Measure”
Head of the Standards Compliance Department, Shailendra Rai, said that the test measure will be available for private and public sector verifications.
He said that persons have also complained about petrol terminal supplying an inadequate amount of fuel, so in an effort for transparency in the sector the bureau acquired the device to measure the petrol terminal.
Acting Executive Director of the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS), Ms. Evadnie Inniss, said that the test measure cost $6.7M and the government assisted greatly with funding while the bureau also contributed.
She explained that there is a cost recovery in place and fees attached to usage of the services.
