Refrigerated hydrocarbon and non-petroleum based liquefied gaseous fuels — Dimethylether (DME) — Measurement and calculation on board ships

Hydrocarbures réfrigérés et combustibles gazeux liquéfiés à base non pétrolière — Diméthyléther (DME) — Mesurage et calculs à bord des navires

Abstract / scope

ISO 16384:2012 provides guidance on the practices for custody transfer of dimethylether (DME) on board ships, at both the loading and the discharging ports. It covers such aspects of volumetric calculation on board as measurement of liquid volume, vapour volume, temperature and pressure; and accounting for the total quantity of DME on board before and after loading/discharging, regardless of the type of ship's tank.
