2.9 Product type

  • The Product type field is not required for gravimetric devices, but it is mandatory for volumetric devices (refer to the Device product code table).
  • The product type code indicates the product measured by the device.

 

Distillates and gasoline have separate codes

Distillates (diesel fuels, fuel oils, stove oils, bio-diesel and bio-diesel blends): code 10 

Gasoline (all grades of gasoline and alcohol-blended gasoline): code 11

Product code 11 is the default code when a meter measures both gasoline and distillates.

  • Devices used to measure diesel exhaust fluid (code 17) are to be coded to the chemical products trade sector (10), not the retail petroleum trade sector.
