API MPMS Chapter 12.2 “Calculation of Petroleum Quantities Using Dynamic Measurement Methods and Volumetric Correction Factors”, has been released in August 2025 as 3rd Edition. QuantityWare has carefully analyzed this important calculation model standard. With respect to a calculation result impact on the supported QuantityWare BCS calculation models, this new edition of API MPMS Chapter 12.2 does not deliver any relevant changes.

Today QuantityWare has published the Release Notes for the next BCS 3.0 CSP, which will be shipped in Q4 2025. The Release Notes document can be found in our knowledge base.

ASTM D1550 “ASTM Butadiene Measurement Tables” has been revised and re-approved in July 2025. QuantityWare has carefully analyzed the new version and confirms that the BCP implementation of ASTM D1550-18 is also compliant with the 2025 re-approved version ASTM D1550-25. With the next CSP, the compliance relevant BCS documentation and technical text updates will be delivered.

GPA 2172 has been reaffirmed and published as GPA 2172-25. QuantityWare confirms that BCG implementations for dry natural gas, that are based on the previous GPA 2172-19 version, comply with this new version.

From May 12th to May 16th, the QuantityWare BCG certification training took place.

The highly interactive BCG training course covers the full capabilities of the QuantityWare BCG product within the BCS solution.

After course completion, all delegates presented their configuration results to QuantityWare experts. QuantityWare welcomes the new BCG certified  consultants to our growing BCS network.

In Mai 2025, API MPMS Chapter 9.1 ”Density Determination, Section 1-Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method” – ASTM D1298 has been revised and issued as ASTM D1298-24. QuantityWare has reviewed this new version and confirms compliance with BCS 3.0 implementations for hydrometer correction calculations.

QuantityWare is participating at the SAP for Energy and Utilities Conference 2025 . Besides Hydrogen and LNG quantity conversions, QuantityWare will be available to discuss the QCloud API quantity conversion solution. We are looking forward seeing you in Rotterdam.

QuantityWare Service Portal (v9.0.0) has been launched, featuring significant improvements to our Usage Questionnaire functionality:

A New, Clearer Look

The questionnaire editor has been given a brand new look, with fast navigation, progress indication, and simpler language used in questions.

We’ve also simplified the BCS product determination by asking a single product question, rather than three separate questions.

Faster Completion

Answers are automatically saved to a user’s web browser, meaning the questionnaire editor can be closed and returned to later to continue where a user left off.

For existing customers we have made the annual questionnaire submission easier and faster, with the ability to review the most recent questionnaire and confirm/modify the answers to each question.

Existing customers’ organization details are automatically completed, and the user’s portal account details automatically used.

Easier Approval

If a user has authority to self-approve a questionnaire, this is now performed immediately on submission, rather than requiring a separate approval step.

For existing customers, approval of a questionnaire can now be performed by a Portal contact via the standard ticket system.

Initial Quote Generation

For prospective customers, when QuantityWare confirms a submitted questionnaire, an initial quote PDF is generated and sent to the user and approver of the questionnaire.

We believe the changes described above will make the questionnaire submission and approval experience easier, faster, and more useful to our customers – existing and prospective alike.

The 2025 BCG Certification Training is scheduled for May 12th; details can be found in our BCG Training flyer.

Three places for this 5-day training are already booked, two places are still available. Interested consultants or measurement experts may register online in our training section .

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Bruchsal in May.
