Abstract

A method of delivering propane to a customer is disclosed. A transport vehicle transports the propane to the customer. The transport vehicle delivers the propane from the transport vehicle to the customer. A Coriolis flowmeter measures a mass flow rate of the propane as transport vehicle delivers the propane to the customer. The Coriolis flowmeter determines a gross volume of the propane based on the mass flow rate of the propane. The Coriolis flowmeter also determines an adjusted volume of the propane based on the mass flow rate and a constant value. The constant value corresponds to a density of propane at a reference temperature.
