# Dispenser calibration

Reference photo of an open dispenser; it does not show a prover measurement.

If your construction company or business has its own tank and dispenser — a yard pump or industrial fuel station — the amount it dispenses must be calibrated. We measure it with a certified prover and hand you the calibration record that backs the measurement before ACODECO.

## What it is

A yard pump (or industrial fuel station) is the on-site tank — typically around 5,000 gallons — with its dispenser that a construction company or business uses to fuel its equipment and fleet. Over time, a dispenser can start delivering too much or too little.

Calibration verifies and adjusts the actual amount the dispenser delivers, using a certified prover — a volumetric measurement standard (seraphin measure) — and everything is documented in acalibration record.

## Applicable standards

In Panama, the legal metrology of fuel dispensing — a fair measurement for both buyer and seller — falls to ACODECO(the Authority for Consumer Protection and Competition Defense). Calibration with a certified prover and its record are the proof that your dispenser deliverswithin the tolerance ACODECO requires.

## Process

1.  01Assessment of the dispenser and the dispensing point.
2.  02Measurement with a certified prover (volumetric standard).
3.  03Adjustment of the dispenser if delivery is out of tolerance.
4.  04Issuance of the calibration record for your backing before ACODECO.

## Related case

We calibrate and certify dispensers at both service stations and the yard pumps of construction companies and industrial businesses across Panama.

## Decision facts

Who it is for

Service stations and yard pumps or industrial stations with their own tank and dispenser in Panama.

Not for

The metrological verification that ACODECO performs. The record documents the calibration; it does not replace the authority’s inspection.

Coverage

Nationwide in Panama. Logistics are confirmed with the province and site access.

What you get

Measurement with a certified prover, adjustment if delivery is out of tolerance, and a calibration record.

How to quote

Share the number of dispensers, product, location and whether it is a yard pump or a service station.

Office hours

Monday–Friday 07:00–16:00; Saturday 07:00–13:00. Field work is scheduled per site.

## Frequently asked questions

What is a yard pump?

It is an on-site tank —typically around 5,000 gallons— with its own dispenser, used by construction or industrial companies to fuel equipment and fleets.

What does calibration deliver?

It verifies and adjusts the actual volume the dispenser delivers using a certified prover (volumetric standard) and records it in a calibration certificate.

Who regulates fuel-dispensing measurement in Panama?

Legal metrology for fuel dispensing is ACODECO’s responsibility. Calibration with a certified prover supports that the dispenser delivers within the required tolerance.

Does it cover service stations and industrial pumps?

Yes. The scope covers dispensers at service stations and yard pumps of construction and industrial companies in Panama.

How much does dispenser calibration cost?

Cost depends on the number of dispensers, the product and site conditions. We confirm the scope and then issue a quote.

## Does your yard pump dispense the exact amount?

Tell us what you need and where the work would take place so we can define the service scope.
